Since we're busy working up a storm (truly, several storms. we're busy over here – YAY!), We thought We would post some pics of the fun decorations, invitations and favors We made for the son's 6th birthday party.
He's six, so of course, he is a HUGE Lego Star Wars fan. The kid only seen ONE Star Wars movie (Clone Wars) once, and he's totally in love. It was a great time and he had a lot of creative input on everything you see here. He was the ideal client! :) These were a BLAST to make!
Each child got to choose to take home either a Light Side of the Force favor bag or a Dark Side of the Force favor bag. We made the stickers, favor bag labels and printed out some blank Star Wars coloring sheets, and included crayons in the shapes of Legos and Star Wars characers {see captions above for stores}.
The son had the most fun helping me make these light sabers, which are simply foam water noodles cut in half and wrapped with alternating reflective duct tape and black duct tape.
The kids have yet to touch real soda, so for the son's 6th birthday party, we made the Yoda Soda from lime sherbet ice cream, lime juice, and tangerine lime sparkling water. YUM!
There's a cookbook out that offers a recipe for Wookiee Cookies that's truly simply chocolate chip cookies, so we decided to make star-shaped chocolate shortbread cookies the color of Chewbacca :)
Each child received a Jedi Training Completion Certificate {made super fast by me & printed at home} after completing a game a Pin-The-Light-Saber-On-The-Light-Saber.
We found some decent images of Star Wars characters that were a high enough resolution to print out onto 100# cardstock on the laser printer, cut them out, punched holes on the sides and tied together with string.
The Obi-WanTons? A HUGE hit!
And we had a ton more Lego Star Wars party ideas come to life. These included: Bow-Tie Fighter Pasta {farfalle salmon pasta salad}, Leia & Luke's Lumpia {a Filipino egg roll}, Darth Malt {malt shakes!}, Jabba Java {coffee for the adults!}, Boba Fett Brie and more. We also printed out a large Star Wars wall poster that matched the invitations and party cup stickers, and we played Pin-The-Light-Saber-On-A-Light-Saber. The kids each got a sticker for a turn, and the one who landed on the most light sabers won a packet of stickers.
