Star Wars Birthday Party

It was rowdy and tons of fun.  Don't ever underestimate the power of a light saber in the hands of my girls.  They are a force to be reckoned with and I don't think any of the boys were prepared for their wrath and skill level.  I was incredibly lucky to win a complete party printable set from Hello My Sweet.  If it wasn't for Ethan having a Star Wars theme I would have chosen some really chic party and heck had a party for myself with one of their other amazing products like this Pink Vintage Parisian Romance or this Woodland Acorn Party, sigh.  But their Star Wars printable set was so much fun and it really made the party!

I got a ton of ideas from Just Jenn Recipes.  Seriously her Ultimate Star Wars Party was Jedi-tastic, really true genius!  Her recipes look delicious as well.  Girl can cook!

I had nothing planned as far as games or activities.  I simply set them loose with homemade light sabers until it was time for Han Burgers, Smores Troopers (smore style cupcakes, yum!) and Yoda Soda.  The biggest hit was the Thermal Detonators aka Whoppers.  They had so much fun eating them before they were deactivated and blowing themselves up.  Boys will be boys.

The Menu:

Smores Troopers Cupcakes
Jawa Juice
Leia's Buns
Yoda Soda
Thermal Detonators
Han Burgers
Wookiee Cookies
Bantha Milk
Carbonite Jello
Vader Taters

Homemade Light Sabers!  Cut a pool noodle in half and  wrap one  end in duct tape!  Send them home with the kids as a party favor!

Smores Troopers Cupcakes- Graham cracker crust on the bottom, chocolate cake and  marshmallow filling topped with chocolate frosting.  Super easy and so yummy!  I had my hubby print the cupcake toppers on sticker paper so the kids got to keep their cupcake sticker!

Leia's Buns- these went really fast!  Who knew so many boys liked honey buns!

I used one blue pack and one purple pack of jello.  Han Solo came in a pack with C3PO and  Chewbacca  which I picked up at Target for $23, I also used a $5 off coupon from Target.com!

These were also printed on sticker paper!  Crush and Sierra Mist!

What's a party without blue Bantha Milk, Wookiee Cookies and Thermal Detonators.  I also used that Blue Bantha Milk to go in the Wookiee Crisp cereal the overnighters had for breakfast.  Dale made Blue Bantha Milk pancakes too!

Watch out!  Vader Taters may be dipped in ketchup and used as dark side light sabers!

Sliders were easy to prep and went fast!  

C3P0 freed Han Solo at the Jones House!  She wore her Halloween costume!

The birthday boy with my Mom.  She is so cute!

He had no idea he would be wearing his new jersey to a game against the Miami Heat on his birthday!  Thunder won!

See that tiny little girl, she whooped them.  Girls are way better Jedi!

The party prep was so easy.  The printables made the party look so cool!  Such a fun party and the boys and girls had a blast!
