Star Wars!

My dear friend, Katy, threw a super fun 

STAR WARS

themed birthday party for her son's 6th birthday!

It was so clever, I just had to share the party details with you!

This party is sure to make any 6 year old Star Wars fan...well,

HAPPY!

THE INVITATION:

Katy custom made and printed these invitations! 

*So creative!*

THEMED FOOD & DRINKS:

 

Loving the names: Wookie Cookies, Vader Water, Jabba Juice and Yoda Soda! (Ha!)

ACTIVITY/CRAFT:

 As Cooper's party guests arrived, they all crafted their very own R2D2s. 

JEDI KNIGHT 

and PRINCESS TRAINING:

Cooper's party guests all received Jedi robes hand made by Katy.
For the Jedi Robe pattern Katy used, click here. 
Katy simply purchased fleece material for the robes
as it is very forgiving so hemming is not necessary!

Training consisted of 4 challenges. 

Each party guest had to participate and complete each challenge

to officially become a "JEDI" Knight or Princess!

Challenge #1:

Pin the Light Saber on Yoda!

Challenge #2:

Who is Darth Vader?

 Party guests had to close their eyes while one of the guests

was put in a Darth Vader robe & mask. Guests were then asked to open their

eyes and work together to figure out who was under the mask! 

The kids LOVED this and the game was played over a few times for fun!

Challenge #3:

Light Saber Training!

Party guests had to learn to poke a floating 

balloon with a straw! Challenging...yet fun!

Challenge #4:

Destroy Darth Vader!

 Party guests had to take a crack at destroying Darth Vader

...Darth Vader, the Pinata that is!

Cake Time:

After a hard day at Jedi Knight and Princess training,

the Birthday Boy was able to share his very own

LIGHT SABER

birthday cake with his party guests!

**Look how happy he is!**

(Cake how to below)

Giveaways/Thank You's:

Party guests were sent home with Star Wars Pez dispensers!

What a fun and creative

birthday party for a 6 year old!

Happy Birthday Sweet Cooper,

We LOVE you!!!
