Another Monday is here again! I hope you all had a great weekend and had a chance to celebrate all of the wonderful Dads in your life! Dave and I spent the weekend out in Vancouver for our 11th wedding anniversary and the kids {and my parents} joined us out there on Sunday for Father’s Day. It was a great weekend but much too fast!!
Since I was away all weekend, I didn’t get a chance to take pictures of any of the organization projects that I have been working on {don’t worry – I still have more to come!} Instead, I thought I would get to posting the rest of Connor’s Star Wars party. If you missed the other posts, you can find them here, here, and here!
Today is all about one of my favorite parts of the party – the decorations!!
Considering that I am not really a huge Star Wars fan, I actually had a lot of fun decorating for this party. I used a black, silver, blue and green color scheme.
I used black wrapping paper on the wall behind the food table and added stars to it with a silver pen. I also wrapped old boxes with the black and houndstooth wrapping paper to elevate some of the food displays.
For the napkins, I found this super cute light saber napkin and cutlery holder idea over at Catch My Party {along with the free printable}. I used double sided tape to secure the handle together first and then folded up the napkin {pinching the end that I inserted into the handle}. Once it was all together, the cutlery just slipped right in.
I also used the R2-D2 cup idea from Catch My Party. I used an adhesive inkjet photo transfer paper that I purchased at Staples. It kind of has a cloth feel to it and it stuck on really well. I have even placed the cup in the dishwasher a few times and it still stayed on {although the color did fade a bit}
I always love making tissue poms and did some up in silver and black to hang above the table and to place on the hutch.
For the water bottles, I just cut some strips of blue glitter paper that were left over from the invitations, wrapped them around the water bottle and attached the storm trooper tags to the front {click here for the free download}.
If your child is anything like mine, you will have lots of little Star Wars men and that you can add to your table for a little extra decor!
And just in case you need a little reminder to stay calm during the party, I printed this out and placed it in a frame in front of the food table. How perfect can you get?
My Pinterest link to We Heart It {where I printed it out from} has been disabled. Apparently there is some “inappropriate” content on that site. Anyways, I can’t find the link to it there but did find this one.
Hopefully that gives you a few ideas if you are planning a Star Wars Party of your own!

Such a cute party, and those cups are amazing!!
Love it all! And I love that so much of the stuff you have here are very affordable ideas. I have a little Jedi (no really, his name is Jedidiah and we sometimes shorten it to Jedi). Fingers crossed when he gets a little older he will ask for a star wars party. Stopping by from Not Just a Housewife. Amanda @ http://www.the-cadence.com

Wow, you did an amazing job! Love the R2D2 cups and the lightsaber napkins. I wonder if I can turn my youngest boy into an avid Star Wars fan before his birthday in December, I want to do this party now!
How fun! I’m trying to get my girls into Star Wars so I can do something like this. Just kidding. Sort of. :o)
I am featuring your party today at Cox’s Corner! http://www.travisandjessicacox.com
I guess it is not completely following the movies there are so many aspects that were missed all i see is light sabers and r2d2. There is so much more to the star wars culture
