In this household we are Star War fans. So when I asked my soon to be ten year old daughter what kind of party she wanted for her birthday it was no surprise she wanted a Star Wars party (not sure why we haven't had one sooner). She loves Ahsoka Tano from Clone Wars and has even made up her own Tano character! The party however will include as many Star Wars characters as possible.
To get this party going, I've been looking online for some ideas and although they are great, there is not much geared towards the girl side of Star Wars...
Her birthday party is this Saturday so I'll take pictures and post how it went. I've invited everyone via evite with your typical Star Wars lango. We've asked everyone to come dressed as a character or a made up one--it is Star Wars after all--full of lively characters.
For the
arriving activity everyone is making their own light sabers using installation foam and duct tape: red, blue, purple, and green. (Idea borrowed from
http://fowlerfam.blogspot.com/search?q=star+wars)
They are all padawans when they begin the party...they will have to train with the goal of becoming a Jedi.
Trial #1--Using their light saber and the force they will work on keeping balloons of the floor.
Trial #2--Obstacle course to include a "force toss".
Trial #3 --its a surprise!
I'm using silver and blue as the main colors for the decor and hoping I can add touches of the Jedi girl force.
Hoping for a great day!! Pictures to come....

Party Favors
To keep with the Dark side, Jedi side theme, I filled their goodie bags with blue, red and silver candy. As well as some Star Wars stationary and a glow tube!

| Got these bags at the Dollar Store-came with 25 bags! |
The cake
I'm not much of a baker, but I baked the cake because my daughter does not like frosting on her cake and store bought cakes seem to be too dry. Other than that I did what I could. I used a chocolate and yellow box mix to keep with the theme. I covered it with cool whip mixed with instant pudding. Here is the link if you wan the frosting recipe.

It wasn't the best looking cake, but I heard it tasted yummy!

The Food
I used labels to come up with fun names. The kids really enjoyed this. I wasn't sure if they would. But they choose their foods based on what they dressed up as. Thankfully I had healthy snacks on both sides of the forces!
