Da, Da, Da... Da da da, Da da da. If you are the mother of a Star Wars fan you know the song I am singing. As a woman, I never really though I would know the difference between Jengo Fett and Bulba Fett, or the difference between a battle droid, a clone trooper and a droid decoa. But here I am the mother of two boys and I know way more about Star Wars then I ever wanted to. So a Star Wars Party was not a hard thing for me to whip up. Here is what we did to make the party AWESOME! Star Wars Upcycled Invites! For a few months before the party I had saved these fruit snack boxes. On each side is a star wars image. For the invites I just cut out an image and put the party info on the back side. Instant Invites. Star Wars Party Bags. I used the image on the other side on the fruit snack box to decorate some plain white paper lunch sacks I had on hand into star wars lute bags. My son actually helped make these for his friends. When they broke open the pinata their prizes went into these bags. Destroy the Death Star Pinata! A week before the party we started creating the Death Star Pinata. We started with a jumbo punching balloon. We did two layers of paper mache, I always just use flour and water to make my paste. I let the layers dry for a day in between. Then we added the grey paper streamers using Elmer's glue. Two layers was plenty, I was worried it would break right away so the first round of hits they used the pool noodle light sabers, then after everyone had a turn I got out a plastic light saber. Everyone still got a turn hitting with that one before I had to add a few cuts with a box cutter to weaken it. They also didn't just destroy the Death Star.. They had to find it first. For their final Jedi Training mission, we sent them on a note scavenger hunt. We had Yoda write the clues and he told them to look different places in the house to find more notes that would lead them closer to the secrete location of the Death Star. Good thing dad came up with the perfect hiding place. In the dryer! Large Storm Trooper Balloon! That is no fancy expensive party balloon, it is actually a white tall kitchen trash bag decorated with a sharpie! We hung it above the chandelier above the table. It made a great decoration. Also if you notice in the photo we had Vader-aid to drink. Pool Noodle Light Sabers. Just cut in half, add duct tape and electrical tape. We got everything we needed at the dollar store. These were so awesome and did no damage to anything in our house. We also did not star the party off with he light sabers, they had to do the laser beam challenge and learn to use the force first. Helpful Party Tip: The phrase, "Patience my young padawan." comes in handy when they ask tons of questions about what they get to do and when. Also make sure they know true Jedi listen to their master. (aka you) Jedi also must learn self control, good to remind them of this before you give light sabers to a bunch of young kids. The Laser Beam Challenge! Just like the laser doors that trapped Obi Wan in Episode I keeping him from helping Quigon in the battle against Darth Maul! These lasers you must try to move through without touching or knocking down. Using the Force Remember that commercial where the boy in the Vader costume uses the force to start a car, when really the parents hit the start button on their key chain? Well we did the same thing, but with the fire place. Our fire place control is on the other side of the room so when I was teaching the kids how to focus their force all on the fire place to start the fire. My husband out of site was able to hit the switch to turn on the fireplace. We had a few surprised faces, that is for sure. Sneak by the Storm Troopers! A storm trooper squadron had taken over the living room. They were white balloons I had used black sharpie to draw a storm trooper minimalism face on. I then tied black string on them and hung them with tape from the ceiling. A whole army! Jedi's in training at the party had to crawl through the ventilation shaft (aka crawling tunnel). Then do a quick Jedi somersault to keep the storm troopers from seeing them. At the end of the party, the Jedi's who had graduated from Padawon Learners to Master Jedi got to go and destroy the storm trooper balloon army by whacking them with their light sabers. Milk Jug Trooper Target Training They also had storm trooper pinata training. In order to destroy the death star pinata later they got to practice their aim on a storm trooper head made from a milk jug. I tied it to a string and a stick so I could safely stay out of the way and swing it closer or father from the Jedi in training. Death Star Light Saber Golf! Each child got to make a death star ball out of balloons and rice. They are super simple and took only a minute or so for each kid. See the simple how-to here. They made them right when they came one at a time and the other kids played with the star wars guys while they waited for others to finish. Later, we used the death star balls for light saber training. They had to use their light sabers to push the death star balls all the way around the dinning room table and back to the couches where they started from. They took their training very seriously. Light Saber Baseball We also did a bit of light saber base ball. I batted the balloon toward them and they had to hit it with their light sabers. Everything is soft so no chance to destroy or break anything. I also did my best to dress up like Padame, but I think I looked more like she would have looked if she had survived childbirth of twins. HA! It was still fun, but the 5 year olds didn't really get it. "Why do you have duct tape on your arms??" Ha! Oh well!
This game can be a lot of fun but it will not work for young children. You will need 2 large hula hoops. Each child gets 2 chances to throw the Hula Hoop around the target. If there is a Dad at the party who is a good sport--he can sit in a chair and the children can take turns trying to toss the Hula Hoop around him. Make sure that the person holds their hands over their face so they do not get hit in the face. The children will really laugh if he makes jokes and teases them to try and catch him. Or you can decorate a big popcorn tin and use that as the target.

Each kid got a pouch to wear around their neck, to put their dried off gold in. It had a list of what they were going to do. This is how the other side of the yard looked before the party started As soon as the kids arrived, they got suited up, and ran around chasing each other with their guns. It was a great pass-time while waiting for everyone to arrive. They were SO cute! Serious Cowboys and Cowgirls! GIDDY UP! The real surprise of the day, was when COWBOY CLINT arrived with his horse!!! The kids were SO EXCITED to see a real cowboy!!! They got to pet and feed the horse. Cowboy Clint told the kids that good cowboys and cowgirls always mind their parents! I hope it sunk in :) So excited after getting to pet and feed the horse!!! Cowboy Clint is a family friend. He reminded my mom that she made him a pair of chaps and a vest when he was little, and that's what started it all!!! My mom also made the chaps Bubby is wearing for one of my little brothers! Again... thanks mom! Thanks Clint! Cowboy Clint showed the kids the horse shoe, and explained how horses have an extra "heart" that helps pump blood up the legs. I never knew that! The little buckaroos were intrigued, and so was I! Bubby felt extra special getting to ride the horse. Thank you COWBOY CLINT!!! You're the BEST!!! The kids will NEVER forget that a REAL COWBOY came to the party! You made Bubby's whole day! On to the games... RATTLE SKEDADDLE!!! The kids got to take turns tossing a snake into a bucket. Everyone liked it more than I thought. Even the girls ;) BRONCO BUSTER!!! The kids got to take turns lassoing the horse! It was just too cute! NUGGET FEVER Panning for gold was the hit of the day, as far as the games went! The kids LOVED it. We had about 15 minutes after we finished everything up, for the kids to play before their parents came to pick them up, and most of them chose to pan for gold. My son keeps asking when we can go to California to look for gold!!! How cute :) PRESENT TIME!!! They all ran to get their presents! I love how cute kids are, and how they get so excited to give gifts to each other. They sat around the campfire to open presents, while listening to, "Sweet Home Alabama," in the background. It was a fun day for everyone!!!

My 12 year old niece wanted a Clueless party. She loves the movie but I think it was because her favorite color is yellow. I had a lot of fun going down memory lane to design the invitation and games but mostly it made me feel old! Invitation Centerpieces - Bent Acrylic Frames, 5x7 Double Vertical. Top piece is glued on to toothpicks and inserted between the sheets of paper. Displayed on a shiny silver and colorful scrapbook paper with a 90's toy or cassette tape. I was going to tie a balloon to each one but ran out of time and ultimately didn't need it. Centerpiece Top Centerpiece Inside - 90's facts Centerpiece Outside - Clueless quotes and questions Party Favors - I know I went a little crazy but I was having fun shopping, mostly from Oriental Trading and Amazon. Favor bags include: clear makeup bag, face mask, 90s slap bracelet, mini pink notebook, pen with big pom pom, star stickers, sunflower sucker (b-day girl's favorite flower), prism camera necklace, and not pictured, Ring pop and Mentos. We placed one bag at each chair with a white fringe boa. They were a big hit and even the mom's wanted one. Favor bags Place settings Games: Bingo - While we waited for our pizza, we played a few rounds of Bingo. I made 24 randomized cards. Each card has all the pictures but in a different order. I had to explain that the middle "Clueless" spot was the "Free" spot. We played a few normal rounds and then added rules for horizontal only, vertical only and then diagonal only. Here is a PDF of 24 cards plus the calling cards. Clueless Bingo Truth or Dare - While they were finishing up eating we got the Truth or Dare cards out. They passed around the deck of cards with a dice. If they rolled an even number they had to do Truth and if they rolled an odd they had to do Dare. I made sure they were all appropriate to do in a restaurant. We went around the table 3 times. They had fun making a TP headdress, going outside and yelling "I am (name)! Hear me roar!" and telling about eating bugs and peeking at Christmas presents. Here is a PDF of 38 cards plus a page of blanks to add your own. Print double sided on heavy paper, flip on short side. Truth or Dare Cards MASH - After cake and presents, I passed out MASH sheets for them to play until their parents picked them up. Everyone had fun playing. I printed them double sided and cut them in half sheets. Here is a PDF. Cake - Our family has a favorite chocolate peanut butter cake that is requested at almost every party. We tried to make a plaid using Reese's Pieces, regular and minis. All that matters is that it tased amazing! Clueless chicks!
