Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Invitations

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Banner, Tissue Pom Poms & Cupcakes

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Dark Side Cupcake Toppers {chocolate chiffon cupcakes w/vanilla buttercream frosting}

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Light Side of the Force Cupcake Toppers {vanilla dream cupcakes w/vanilla buttercream frosting}

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Light Side & Dark Side Favors {included stickers by UrbanBlissDesign.com, Lego crayons from http://www.etsy.com/shop/chasedreams & Star Wars crayons by http://www.etsy.com/shop/craftygio}

Each child got to choose to take home either a Light Side of the Force favor bag or a Dark Side of the Force favor bag. I made the stickers, favor bag labels and printed out some blank Star Wars coloring sheets, and included crayons in the shapes of Legos and Star Wars characers {see captions above for stores}.

Lego Star Wars Homemade Light Sabers

My son had the most fun helping me make these light sabers, which are just foam water noodles cut in half and wrapped with alternating reflective duct tape and black duct tape.

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Yoda Soda

My kids have yet to touch real soda, so for my son’s 6th birthday party, we made the Yoda Soda from lime sherbet ice cream, lime juice, and tangerine lime sparkling water. YUM!

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Wookiee Cookies

There’s a cookbook out that offers a recipe for Wookiee Cookies that’s really just chocolate chip cookies, so we decided to make star-shaped chocolate shortbread cookies the color of Chewbacca

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Decorations: cups with custom stickers

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Jedi Training Completion Certificate

Each child received a Jedi Training Completion Certificate {made super fast by me & printed at home} after completing a game a Pin-The-Light-Saber-On-The-Light-Saber {explained more below}.

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Masks

I found some decent images of Star Wars characters that were a high enough resolution to print out onto 100# cardstock on my laser printer, cut them out, punched holes on the sides and tied together with string.

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Obi-WanTons {fried wantons w/chocolate hazelnut filling}

The Obi-WanTons? A HUGE hit!

Lego Star Wars Birthday Party Tatooine Tartlets {chocolate pastry filled with chocolate ganache}

And we had a ton more Lego Star Wars themed items, including Bow-Tie Fighter Pasta {farfalle salmon pasta salad}, Leia & Luke’s Lumpia {a Filipino egg roll}, Darth Malt {malt shakes!}, Jabba Java {coffee for the adults!}, Boba Fett Brie and more. I also printed out a large Star Wars wall poster that matched the invitations and party cup stickers, and we played Pin-The-Light-Saber-On-A-Light-Saber. The kids each got a sticker for a turn, and the one who landed on the most light sabers won a packet of stickers.
