May The 4th Be With You
In a galaxy far far away......
Our kids grew up loving Star Wars, so what else could I do but host a party for the last movie premiere.
Rather then purchasing new I actually climbed into the attic and found all those treasures my children once had....did I mention they're now all in their 30's? Haha
Immediately at the door I wanted to get my guests into the party fun - I really wish it captured on film better but I used black and white balloons and streamers all falling from the ceiling. Like you're walking into a astro field.
The movie premier was a week before Christmas so I had that to work around but honestly I do not think anyone cared!
At the end of your journey you were greeted by no else but Darth Vader! LOL Another hit everyone loved taking pictures with him!
I loved the fact that some came with their own interpretation of a costume - it really was a fun afternoon!
Of course we were going to the movie!! Keeping the food simple was important but I still wanted it fun! And of course every party needs a signature cocktail for the grownups! :)
Yoda on my back.... if you said the word you had to wear yoda on your back. Simple but with this group it was a hilarious game!
No need of a cake, this time I simply made wookie cookies and packaged them so everyone could take them to go! Perfect for a movie snack. :)
No party is complete without something memorable. A dollar store find, these plastic light sabers and paper masks were a hit! It never amazes me how the simplest things make for a fun party.
I have to smile when I look back at this party such a fun day - simplicity at its best. It did take some time putting some of it together but it was so well worth it in the end.
Party ON!
