Star Wars Party for 20 six year olds.  This party was planned using lots of ideas already posted here. I hand lettered invitations cut in the shape of a spaceship. Text was done (little to big letters) like the opening of the films. (Brief version of text follows) "Calling all Jedi Knights and Princesses"  Come to a galaxy far, far away on (date) to celebrate the birthday of Jedi Corey, born 6 years ago, this very day, in 1996.  With the fate of the galaxy in your hands, come dressed in Star Wars costumes (if you want)  No light sabers, please. They will be provided as you enter the Training Center. (We bought heavy duty plastic bongo blow-ups from Oriental Trading Company)  Our spaceship will launch at (time) at the point in the galaxy known as the "DiEmedio Domain," located precisely at (address)  Intergalactic RSVP by (date) to (phone).  May the Force be with you as you face these tasks:  Meteor shower, Probe Droid Hunt, Crater search and more.  Estimated Milky Way galaxy return time is (time party ends).   I made badges (stickons) with Star Wars pictures glued on.  Training cards were done on the computer with space for names, team, and tasks. They were tied around the child's waist with multicolored yarn. We moved a small play structure indoors to serve as the spaceship (which could have been decorated with a spaceship top made of cardboard).  Party started with a meteor shower (black and silver balloons, starburst candy and a surprise letter outlining the mission and teams) Letter was read with a karaoke microphone with Star Wars music in background.  Shower was over the upstairs balcony. The teams then met with the oldest as team leader. Each team had a color and each team member had a specific item to hunt for: flying saucer in team color, Star Wars spaceship/character (pictures glued to poster board), moon rock (painted with gold glitter), silver star, etc. After the outside hunt, teams came inside for a space snack (galaxy gorp, spaceship sandwiches - peanut butter & jelly, peanut butter & marshmellow fluff cut in shape of spaceship, round corn tortillas (flying saucers) and Venus veggies.  Activities were checked off on each child's training card. Training Center was in basement, decorated with sheets hung from ceiling, icicle lights, glittery confetti on floor. We played pass the spaceship to stagger children going to training center. Entered the Center by doing space walk on cardboard rock shapes to the door.  Tasks were: Earth Toss (toss the ball into basketball hoop), decorating flying saucer (two paper plates inverted, hole punched and strung with ribbon, child's name painted on in glitter) Markers were available and black stickers of different shapes (Oriental Trading company) to decorate the back. Laser "battles" followed and then a small obstacle course. (Jump on the tramp, hop from footstep to footstep, go through a spaceship door (decorated box) and hula 'til you drop! with Star Wars music in background.  The effect was magical. We then had everyone battle for a short time.  You could also rotate partners or form a circle around 2-4 kids.  After completing the tasks I put glittery body lotion on forearms, as a mark of success.  I painted silver rocks with first initials of each guest for the crater search.  Each had to find his/her own rock and reach into my goody sack (presents were unwrapped and the kids loved to "feel" their prize).  Goody bags had metallic space stickers, their rocks, moon pies.   Other decorations were made from a Star Wars postcard book, cut apart and lettered with phrases from the films.  Guests took home their "lasers" (initials were put on with permanent markers) and their flying saucers. This was a great time and we sent home 20 ecstatic kids.
