Star Wars party

Owen's birthday party was supposed to be back in December, but we had to postpone it due to sickness.  We picked a new day in January.  These were the original invitations, a cute idea found on Pinterest,  It extends like a light saber.  We sent out 12 invitations - Owen wanted more guests, but we had to have a limit!  Ten of his friends were able to come, so with our 5, we had 15 kids running around.  It was pretty crazy!  Alex got out the megaphone once...


Most of the party fun was running around with light sabers, hitting things and each other.  They also did a little bit of bowling and shooting nerf guns at the targets on the board below.  

Captured a little bit of the chaos:


Owen requested a storm trooper helmet cake and specifically this version.  He was really particular about what he wanted.  I did my best to put together a helmet.  



I forgot to take a picture of the foam light sabers, which were the most popular thing they got to take home.  I also made each of them a simple robe, but not many of them actually wanted to wear it.  The girls didn't want to wear the princess Leia buns either.  Oh well.  I think they liked the fruit snacks and popcorn.


It seems like everyone had a good time.  Owen had fun, so it was a success!

After the party, they discovered the LED balloons were pretty fun to play with in the dark.  I hadn't seen these kind of balloons before.  They were pretty cool.
