Star Wars Party


Jaxon's Birthday party was a BLAST, no but seriously... I even had fun!  I can still hear the theme music playing in my mind... or maybe it is just Jaxon who hums it every second of the day ;). This post has a lot of pictures so just stick with me as I break it down. At the end I will have all my amazing vendors so you can create this yourself.



If you follow my blog you know I am a stickler for the details. It all starts with the invitations that Jaxon hand delivered. This made it fun for him and it set the theme. When kids came to the door he would take off his mask and say, " guys guys it's just me Jaxon." As if they thought it was the real deal ha ha.






 At the front of the house I displayed this sign to help indicate which house it was. 



THE CAKE:
the cake topper made by Cake Freak. She can make ANYTHING and she can ship any where in the USA. I had a vision and knew I wanted this to be the main focus of my display. She was able to create it and ship it to me! Seriously this gal has more talent in her pinky when it comes to cake than I will EVER have! 


WOOKIE COOKIES!

 I created these with grasshopper cookies, black sprinkles, mini chocolate chips and white frosting. I melted some wilton melting chocolate and with a tooth pick drew lines to create "fur" like lines to create his face. They turned out cute I think, or at least the two girls at the party who didn't know a thing about star wars thought these "critters were cute."  



YODA SODA! 
Plastic cups dipped in green melting chocolate and then quickly into a shallow dish filled with green sprinkles.  I repeated this twice to get me the desired thickness of sprinkles. Top with a cute straw from Bake it pretty and you are good to go.




PADAWAN POPCORN

For the activities: I presented to the kids that we had to train to become Jedi Masters so we can defeat the dark side and take down Darth Vader. I let them know Darth Vader was coming to take Jaxon's presents and we had to be prepared to save them.

First up,we did a light saber training where I was the Jedi master who taught them how to activate and deactivate their light saber. I basically recreated the Jedi Training from Disneyland. This is where we also dressed them in their Jedi robes. 

*** helpful hint... I buy a thrift store bed sheet to make my jedi robes. for 2 dollars you get yards of fabric that would otherwise be expensive. 





Next they had to fight the storm troopers. I created an obstacle course using hula hoops and telling them they had to jump through each galaxy (hula hoops) and through the milky way (the tunnel) to enter into the home of the storm troopers (the bounce house and white balloons that my friend drew storm trooper faces on). 



 


After a lot of fun fighting the storm troopers, we headed to the Intergalactic Photo Booth. I created this by using a clothing rack stand, a table cloth, and a shear overlay fabric purchased at Joann's.

Instead of putting them on regular sticks I chose to use cute paper straws from Bake It Pretty



The Fourth station to help us prepare to fight Darth Vader was to learn how to build a fighter ship. I made individual boxes from Gygi's filled with legos for each kid. With their imagination they built their ships and colored their Star Wars coloring sheets.





The Last station was to practice fighting Darth Vader (the piñata).  I gave each kid their personalized sack to collect their candy in. I did this because I know after they get their candy they may set their sack down and then cry that someone took their candy. These are just white lunch sacks purchased at target and then with a sharpie my friend and I drew on storm trooper faces. 







Mini light sabers and candy I used to fill the piñata. Remember it is all about the details!



OH NO WHATS THAT????? .... astroids just fell from the sky. Hurry kids collect as many as you can as fast as you can!!! go... go... go...!



While they were hunting around the yard for "astroids" (tin foil balls), I had my Darth Vader get ready to appear and fight the Jedi trainees. The music changed to evil music and Darth appeared and the Jedi's attacked!







Once they took down Darth Vader, each guest got a personalized certificate they could take home along with their light saber, jedi robe, and a candy light saber.




THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE PARTY WAS MY DARTH VADER (my brother in law) IS A DJ. HE HAD STAR WARS THEME MUSIC PLAYING IN THE BACK GROUND FOR THE WHOLE PARTY. IT REALLY SET THE TONE! THE KIDS HAD A BLAST AND MOST IMPORTANTLY  MY SON IS STILL TALKING ABOUT IT!

  2. A 30-year-old man who came to witness a wedding ended up as the bridegroom in a kind gesture as the bridegroom-to-be failed to turn up to tie the knot on Wednesday.



    Ponradha, 23, daughter of Palpandi of Lakshmimanagaram near Arumuganeri in Kanyakumari district was betrothed to(与……订婚) be married to Sithiraivelu, 35, son of Jayaraman of Lakshmipuram in Kayalpattinam of the same district. The wedding was to be held on Wednesday and arrangements were on in full swing(全力进行中) in the bride's hometown.



    They had prepared to welcome the bridegroom on Tuesday evening and were awaiting his arrival when they were informed that he had gone missing. Sithiraivelu's family had claimed to the bride's family that Sitharaivelu had a quarrel with them on Monday and walked out of their home. Though they had been expecting him to come back as usual, he did not return, they had further said. Hearing this, the bride's family went into a frenzy(狂怒), as a stopped marriage would affect the girl's future.



    The news spread around the town of Lakshmimanagaram like a wildfire when Sivakumar, a relative of the bride who had come to take part in the wedding, agreed to marry Ponradha after his relatives persuaded him to do so. The wedding then took place as per(按照) the schedule, much to the relief of the family. The other guests who had come there also congratulated and appreciated Sivakumar for his timely gesture.
