For my sons 5th birthday party we threw a Star Wars themed party at home.  I made the invitations using MS Word. One side of the invite read A long time ago in a galaxy far please reply to the Jedi Council at XXX-XXX-XXXX.  May the Force Be With You.  I added some pictures of Luke and his fighter on the front and a picture of Yoda on the other side all can be found on the internet.  COSTUMES: Purchased Earthtone Muslin fabric from JoAnns. With each yard folded in half cut a small opening for head.  Belts: I made strips of brown felt 2 inches wide and tied at the waist for each child.  I also purchased blow up lightsabers for each child off of the internet @ 2.50 each.  Started off the party with coloring pages for the kids as they were arriving. Download pages from the internet.  GAMES:  Destroy the Death Star: (like pin the tail)  Purchased a poster of the Death Star ($19.99 from Zazzle.com) Inserted into a poster frame. Downloaded a picture of an X-wing fighter and printed off copies to cut out and for each kid.  Blindfold kids aimed toward the poster to "explode" the Death Star by placing the X-wing closest to a red X we marked on the poster.  Star Wars Bingo: I purchased a Star Wars Bingo game off of Ebay.  It came with various cards and a set of calling cards which had pictures of star wars characters on them. I used M&M's as place markers. Save Princess Leia and Padme - I printed  photos of Leia and Padme off the web and hid in a balloons. The kids had to rescue them by stomping on balloons. They LOVED this.. the more balloons the better.  Light Saber Training: Use the Force to Hit balloons with the blow-up light sabers and try to keep them in the air longest. Star Wars III pinata. ENTERTAINMENT:  We had three Star Wars characters (Boba Fett a Stormtrooper and a Tuscan Raider come downstairs when the kids were done with one of the games.  They FREAKED out at first seeing these characters which were in very realistic costumes but then warmed up to them. Everyone took turns taking pictures with the guys.  They are members of the group Vaders 501st. There's a website for the group but my husband works with someone that is a member. Definitely the highlight of the party. DECORATIONS: Play the Star Wars soundtrack throughout the party. Hung up the death star poster for the game also hung up Episode VI poster which my son already had. Used lots of balloons around the house along with a Happy Birthday banner.  Episode III  Darth Vadar standee centerpieces for kids table Star Wars table cloth plates cups and napkins. FOOD: Pizza  veggies and dip fruit platter. Made lightsaber pretzel rods (pretzel rods dipped in melted white chocolate tinted green and used tinfoil to make the handle).  While eating I passed out a Star Wars Quiz for the adults.  I found questions online and purchased a Star Wars Mug off of Ebay as a prize for the winner.  CAKE: Episode III cake idea:  Make a sheet cake to resemble the fight scene on Mustafar between Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi used the action figures holding their light sabers.  Used candy bars to make land mounds in the lava flow. GOODY BAGS:  Blow-up Lightsabers Star Wars stickers candy from pinata Jedi costume and certificate (made a 1 page document witch read:  In a galaxy far far way Childs name became an honory Jedi Master by completing the Jedi Trials.  May the Force Be With You. Certified by.  My childs Name.  I inserted a clip art photo of a Jedi poster that I found on the internet and photoshoped my son's face over the face of Obi Won). This is one party that I will probably never be able to top but it was worth all the time and effort for my little Jedi.             "
