Here’s what Erin said about planning the party- “When our first son was born, a really funny thing happened in the delivery room. My husband turned to me, holding our sweet Luke, and whispered, ‘Luke, I am your Father.’ Mind you, we did not name our son after any of the Star Wars movies, but my hubby knew I’d need a quick laugh, and boy did he get one.

While in the hospital, I dreamed up this birthday party for my then newborn son. I’ve waited 4 years to pull off his “May the Fourth be with You” party and what fun we had!

I wanted to have a party where the kids didn’t just sit around and do typical birthday stuff like open gifts and eat cake. So, we made a Jedi Training Course out of hula hoops, soccer cones, a mini slide and fabric tunnels.

Once the kids made it through the obstacle course, they were awarded with their very own, hand sewn, Jedi or Princess robe and Light Saber. The Jedi’s wore brown hooded robes and the princess’ wore white gowns with metallic gold belts and buns made out of yarn and a headband. They looked adorable!

We then played pin the “saber” on Yoda and awarded the kids with a Star Wars sticker. We made a Pez Toss out of antique Star Wars character Pez dispensers. (Think of those games at the county fair…) The kids loved this game because they got to try to rope the characters with their glow in the dark bracelets (another prize!).

We had a lunch break, where we served Jedi Fuel Packs, which were silver cupcake boxes filled with a Darth Dog (hot dog), Princess Lays (potato chips), and Light Sabers (green grapes on a long toothpick on the end of a foil covered wine cork). Jedi Juice was served in individual R2D2 and Darth Vader sippy cups and for the adults, we provided Yoda Soda (Sprite) and Wookie Water.

Once the Jedi’s were fueled up, we served cupcakes, dusted with edible glitter and sugar Yoda’s and Darth Vaders and of course, Sabers.

To end the party, we had the children take a whack at the Darth Vader pinata. Each kiddo got to take home their robe and saber, along with a Star Wars puzzle and their Jedi Juice cup.”

Star Wars Themed Birthday Party

This STAR WARS THEMED BIRTHDAY PARTY submitted by Mariana Zago of Docinni was so fabulously executed! I hope you enjoy all the fabulous details and ideas here!

Mariana said this about planning the party- “I felt really challenged when asked to create a “Star Wars” Themed dessert table. My client explained to me how crazy her little boy was for the whole Star Wars Saga, and I felt the pressure to not let him down. I had to go back a few years, remembering when I were a child and used to watch Star Wars myself, but I have to say my memory is not that great, so I went and watched all the movies again. I had to get in the Star wars Universe in order to decorate the table and not miss the important details about the movies. I decided to start with the “creation of the universe”, making a sky full of stars as the background using a piece of mdf and led lights. From there I new I had to make the goodies all Star wars related, so we came up with R2D2s made of chocolate, Darth Vader cake pops, Stormtroopers cookies and an awesome spaceship cake! I even had a whole collection of star wars dolls from the 90′s, sitting on a stand in front of the table. The guy I rented it from made me promise I would take real good care of his “babies”. LOL. The little boy was thrilled with his custom-made dessert table, and I have to say I now belong to the Star Wars Lovers group :).”

Star Wars, Lego Birthday Party

You’re going to LOVE these two STAR WARS BIRTHDAY PARTIES I’m featuring today! The first one is a super fun Star Wars Lego Party submitted by Christine Kantaporn of Pure Joy Events, and the next one is a Star Wars Dessert table submitted by Liebesbotschaft {from Germany}. Starting with the lego themed Star Wars party, here is what the talented Christine had to say about it– “A few weeks ago in a galaxy far, far away, 15 Rebel troopers joined forces to celebrate Jedi Camden’s 5th birthday. Everything from the cake to the decorations was inspired by the comic strip invitation booklet that was brilliantly designed by my friend, Melanie of ewehooo. The sunburst motif and gray and orange colors from the invitation were carried over to the dessert table and photo booth. A simple dessert table backdrop was created by re-using the navy blue and gray pomettes from Pom Flair and suspending a LEGO snow speeder from the ceiling. The Jedi pilot cake from PhoebeCakes stood on top of a cake stand built entirely out of LEGOs. We also had a mini birthday celebration for Uncle Frank and baby Haven with cupcakes from Cupcakes Actually and Sweetz Bakery, and fondant toppers made by Lynlee’s Petite Cakes. Doughbabies baked by Dough a Deer were placed on top of oatmeal boxes covered with wrapping paper to resemble LEGO bricks. Mom’s Killer Cakes killed it with the Storm Trooper, Darth Vader and Death Star cake pops. The comic strip style photo booth constructed from black tri-fold foam board and equipped with LEGO Star Wars props was another big hit with the guests. It was Melanie’s idea to blow up the image of the sunburst for the background. Of course the LEGOs were the highlight of the party. Brixalot, a local company here in the Dulles area, hooked us up with 30,000+ LEGOs — more than enough bricks to rebuild the Rebel fleet. It wouldn’t be a party at our place without a creation from my husband, the “Cardboard Master”. Every year, he puts his Mechanical Engineering degree to good use and makes the most incredible things out of cardboard. Paper Star Wars snowflakes, which hung above the snow speeder, were another last minute DIY project. At the conclusion of Camden’s 5th birthday saga, guests took home these mini LEGO Star Wars ship sets. A galactic good time was had by all!” Vendors- Photography: Rebecca Watkins Photography Invitation and Other Printables: ewehooo LEGOs: Brixalot Cake: PhoebeCakes Cupcake Toppers: Lynlee’s Petite Cakes Cupcakes: Cupcakes Actually and Sweetz Bakery Mini Doughnuts: Dough a Deer Cake Pops: Mom’s Killer Cakes Pomettes: Pom Flair
 
And here is the next amazing Star Wars Party submitted by Liebesbotschaft. I love the lunch boxes, cookies and the action figures in the small glass bottles! This party goes to show that simple party elements can go a very long way.
