Star Wars Invitation Wording Idea
by Patty C.
(Twinsburg, OH)
Here's a cool idea for wording your invitations (we did it for our son and all his friends loved it!):
"In a galaxy far, far away, on the morning of (date of your kid's birthday), a baby was born.
The Jedi Council named him (your kid's name) and they knew he was the chosen one. In the (age of the child) years that followed his birth, young (name) has been learning the powers of the force.
Meanwhile, the republic discovered a new enemy. The Jedi knights felt a strong disturbance in the force. Fear, pain and suffering have opened the path to the Dark Side. Many Jedi Knights have been lost. The very future of the Jedi Order is now in jeopardy.
Young Padawan (your kid's name) has been called by the Jedi Council to seek out future Jedi. Master Yoda is urging the younglings to complete their training and take part in the upcoming trials.
Padawan (guest's name) presence is requested to complete their Jedi Training and prepare for the trials on (date). Transport to the Jedi Temple on Coruscant, will be departing promptly at(time) from the (your last name) System, Docking Bay (address). Please advise the Jedi Council as soon as possible at (phone number) whether Padawan (guest name) will accept the challenge of the trials.
MAY THE FORCE BE WITH YOU!"
(By the way - we printed our invitations in rows starting with a smaller font and going to larger font - exactly like the beginning of all the Star Wars movies).
Star Wars Party for 4-Year Old Twins
by Kara
(Dallas, TX)
When my twin boys turned four, a Star Wars party was perfect.
I made the invitations using the original Star Wars Episode IV poster graphic and added the words "May the Fours Be With You".
We already had a Darth Vader cake pan that belonged to my husband as a kid, and we bought an R2D2 pan on eBay.
I made a Death Star pinata out of a punch ball balloon (since it was a large sphere) and paper mache. I painted an old broom handle bright green and added a foam/duct tape handle to make a light saber pinata stick.
I printed thank you notes on small printable cardstock with a picture of Yoda and the words "Very generous you are." on the front. It was a great party.
