Artist (and musician) Chepo Peña of Austin, TX has combined two of my favorite things in a way that is nothing short of genius. Loteria (the traditional Mexican Bingo game with the illustrated cards) and the classic George Lucas Star Wars movie. And voila! You've got Space Loteria. Besides being humorous, they are truly clever, with some great visual puns (e.g. Yoda as shrimp, Darth as melonhead). Below are some of my favorites, next to the original Mexican Loteria cards that inspired Chepo's creations. Chepo did receive a cease and desist order from Lucas Films for selling his art on his site, so unfortunately you can't buy these :( But you can see all of them at his site here.) He is also an accomplished bassist: above photo of Chepa Peña in 2007, courtesy of Erin's public gallery on Picasa and a funny guy (obviously): above: Chepo when he played bass for David Garza at Austin City Limits fest. (image courtesy of the artist) The cards are also featured (a whole page) in the Abrahams book Star Wars: 1,000 Collectibles Memorabilia and Stories from a Galaxy Far, Far Away by Stephen J. Sansweet and Anne Neumann.

Tom and Fran's wedding was inspired by their love of Mexico and the beautiful decorations and colours that are used in traditional Mexican weddings. "When we started planning the wedding, we just couldn't bear to look at one more lavender satin chair cover so we decided to make it as colourful and interesting as we could", said the bride.

These tunes will give you all the feels.
When Iris and Zack started planning their wedding, it was of the utmost importance that they played homage to the bride's Mexican heritage, so they chose November 2nd (Dia de Muertos/ Day of the Dead) as their wedding date. It's something they celebrate every year anyway so having their wedding on that date seemed entirely fitting.
The Star Wars fun was galactic at Emmett's bar mitzvah! It started with a really fun invitation that was both elegant and full of Star Wars movie references. I consulted with my Star Wars geek (I say that with admiration and affection) word-smith Jeb Brack, who helped bring the fun into the invitation text. My favorite part is the custom logo that looks like the movie titles and the classic "moving through space" format of the wording. But I'm going to brag on Emmett's mom and dad here, because they did a ton of work finding the right thematic elements to add fun to the party without going overboard. I did a little consulting, but honestly it was just some hand-holding to let them know that they already had some great stuff going on. They encouraged guests to dress in thematic costumes, brought in the Storm Troopers as live photo booth props and kept the dancing going all night with a fantastic DJ. Here are a few photos I took from the party with links listed at the end of this post. I've got a Star Wars Pinterest board with more vendors and Star Wars theme decor ideas to inspire you. Purchase or request invitation quotes via my Etsy listing here. Host cards in black envelopes led guests to their seats, labeled as Star Wars planets instead of numbers. Light sabers, tea lights and a scattering of star glitter created a galactic view that was simple to assemble. Table numbers were Star Wars planet travel posters. A close-up of the "no flowers" table decor. Emmett's sister Grace was dressed to impress. Yes, that's an R2D2 skirt! Another Padawan in attendance. The DJ had a stellar light show to go with his own Star Wars costume. Nothing gets people dancing like a disco Storm Trooper... Storm Trooper photo op! These cookies looked and tasted amazing. Seriously, the talent!! Vendor list: R2D2-inspired skirt from Rooby Lane, DJ Toad, similar Star Wars Planet Posters from Harknett Photography, similar glitter for the tables. The cookies were made as a favor for this party only. I believe the Storm Troopers were from Ohio Garrison. Photo booth TBD.

To many guests, the most important part of the wedding is the cake. The location, the decor, the bride's dress, all of these things are vital, but they are to be admired. The cake, however, is to be enjoyed.
