Planning you Star Wars Party
You don't need the powers of "the force" to host a memorable party, but time,planning and the ideas in this guide will help. If possible, 4-6 weeks is the perfect no-stress time line. Begin with Star Wars party supplies. Then, use this birthday guide to prepare your Star Wars party games and activities.
Star Wars Partyware from Birthday In a Box
Build a Star Wars party box with everything you need for a fabulous party or purchase a la carte items.
STAR WARS PARTY GAMES AND ACTIVITIES
Star Wars Badges
Get your guests in the spirit of the latest Star Wars saga with this
fun craft project. Before the party, cut out badges from construction paper. Provide the kids with Star Wars stickers, extra paper, glue,
scissors, glitter, markers, crayons, magazine pictures, etc., and encourage creative expression. During the party, hand out extra badges as favors while playing games. When giving out the badges, honor the kids with special awards, i.e., Best Yoda Impression, Best Team Player, Most Infectious Giggle, or Biggest Smile.
Asteroid Hunt
Purchase small treats or gifts and wrap them in aluminum foil.
Hide them in a sandbox, around the house or in the yard.
At the party, let the children dig in the sand, or search throughout
your “planet” to find their “moon rocks.” The kids will love the excitement of opening their rocks and finding treasures!
Light Saber Training Course
Before the party make some light sabers with foam pipe insulation or
skinny swimming "noodles". Wrap 4-6 inches from the end with colored electrical tape to make a handle. One red, one black, blue etc.
To play, divide the kids into teams to go through a challenge course.
Each team will get one "Light Saber". Create tasks for each potential
Jedi to accomplish (not too hard) with the light saber in hand.
For example:
Hit ping pong balls with the light saber
Crawl under a chair tunnel, go down a slide,
Roll under a tarp
Pop bubbles with the light saber -- you get the idea.
Alien Face Painting
Purchase a set of face paints and give each guest a unique alien “look.”
Let each child make up an alien name for himself or create a few of your own and let the kids draw names randomly. Use movie names or your own, such as “Zork,” “Murblap,” or “Gondar.”

Don't forget that's it's easy to adapt traditional party games
to suit the needs of your theme.
Pin the Saber on Yoda
Anakin May I? or Princess Amadalla May I?
(play like Mother May I?)
STAR WARS PARTY FAVORS
Make your own party favors by filling plastic party cups decorated with Star Wars Stickers. Write each guests name with glitter glue and fill with glow in the dark items, flashlights, glow-balls, small Star Wars toys and treats. Save time with complete Star Wars party favor kits, an easy and special way to say "thank you for coming to my party!"
