Star Wars Party Ideas!

Add confetti and stickers for an out-of-this-galaxy invitation

It takes light-years to send a message through space, but your Star Wars Invitations will be ready in warp speed! Just write in the party details and add a Star Wars phrase like: "Invited you are. Celebrate Nick's 7th birthday, will you?" Sprinkle a little Star Wars Confetti inside the envelope for some extra intergalactic fun. The invitation becomes an official correspondence from Lord Vader once you seal it with a Star Wars Sticker on the envelope.

Send secret tattoo passes with your invitations

Sometimes it's not so easy to tell a Rebel from a Sith. Know what side your party guests are on by sending them Star Wars Tattoos inside your Star Wars Invitations. Tell Rebels to wear their tattos on their right arm and Siths on the left as a secret party pass. For a final Jedi touch, fill the envelopes with Confetti and seal them with a Sticker.

Attach a special favor to hand-delivered invites

If you're hand-delivering your Star Wars Invitations, here's a great way to give your party guests a hint at the fun that's in store. Punch a hole in the corner of the envelope and attach a Star Wars Force Ring with Red Curling Ribbon.

Send official Star Wars thank you notes

Make sure your guests know what a great adventure you had with them at your party with a Star Wars Thank You Note. Fill the envelope with Confetti and seal it with a Star Wars Sticker – this official seal will let them know that the Force is always with them!

Capture them on film with photo thank you notes

If Luke hadn't seen a hologram of Princess Leia, his Star Wars adventure might not have happened. A picture is a wonderful way to help your guests remember the adventure they had at your party. In your Star Wars Thank You Notes, add a picture of each guest with the birthday boy, the Darth Vader Life-Size Cutout or Yoda Life Size Cutout. Make sure you add some Confetti to your envelopes.

Practice lightsaber form with a Star Wars pinata!

Wielding a lightsaber takes practice, and what better way for your party guests to practice their form than with the pinata game? Start with a Darth Vader Pinata and fill it with loot any Star Wars fan will love like Star Wars Sharpeners, Star Glitter Bounce Balls, Star Wars Force Rings, Glow in the Dark Aliens, Creature Pop Ups and Kiddie Mix Candy. Cover their eyes with a Blindfold and let them take turns trying to break it open with a Pinata Bat. (With younger kids you might prefer using the pull strings to release the treats.) Hand out Star Wars Loot Bags so when the candy flies, the kids can use the Force to gather as much candy as possible. After the pinata game, they'll all love battling it out with toy Light Sabers.

Stick the blast on the ship with the Star Wars party game

The fate of the galaxy rests on the Rebel Alliance's ability to destroy the Death Star. Your young Jedi Knights must stick the blaster on the ship with the Star Wars Party Game. This game is great for indoor play and includes a game sheet that makes a cool party decoration and blast stickers for 12 players. If the other players watch the game wearing 3-D Glasses, the action will rocket out of this world.

Play the Jedi way with glowing lightsabers

Make a party activity as hot as the twin suns of Tatooine! Make sure to play this activity in a dark room and pass out Light Sabers to each child. Let the children play free-style with their lightsabers. You can also play the Star Wars theme song from the Birthday Hero Party Music CD for a background soundtrack. Keep the action going until the Galaxy is safe from the dark side!

Set up a Jedi favor station!

Everyone loves picking out their favorite toys, so why not set up an intergalactic toy favor station? Just fill the compartments of a Black Sectional Tray with goodies like Star Wars Force Rings, Laser Yo-Yos, Star Wars Erasers, Creature Pop Ups and Star Wars Sharpeners. Hand out Star Wars Loot Bags and let the kids pick out their favorites.

Award the best Jedi Knights with Star Wars prizes

After a tough battle and glorious victory, it feels great to get a reward! Pass out imperial prizes sure to please all the players like a Darth Vader Mask, Glow Wands, Hollywood Star Award, super cool Obi-Wan Kenobi Light Saber and Star Trophies, which are sure to make everyone feel like a winner.

Create far-out favors from reusable Star Wars cups!

Here's a super-easy way to create Star Wars favors they'll love in the reusable Star Wars Party Cup. Line it with Red Crinkle Cut Shred, then tuck in goodies like the Star Wars Memo Pad, Star Wars Pencils, matching Sharpeners, Erasers, Bounce Balls and Star Wars Force Rings. Add some sweetness with Kiddie Mix Candy, then slip the cup in a Clear Party Bag and tie the top closed with Yellow Curling Ribbon.

Create Death Star favors to shake up the galaxy!

The Death Star is a menacing spaceship of doom in the Star Wars movies. But you can transform the Death Star into a good thing by creating Death Star Favors from our spherical Favor Balls. Add a Star Wars Sticker to the front and line the ball with Paper Shred. Pack it with Star Wars Force Bounce Balls, Glow in the Dark Aliens, Creature Pop Ups, Star Wars Erasers and Memo Pads. Don't forget the sweet stuff to bring out the light side of the force! Wonka MixUps Candy is one of our customers' favorites. You can also make Star Wars favors from solid-color favor containers like Folding Favor Boxes and Favor Buckets, which are great for taller favors like Paddleballs and Star Wars Pencils.

Star Wars 3-D boxes make favors more fun!

Make sure the kids take home their 3-D Glasses – they make these Star Wars Favor Boxes look even more amazing! Fill the boxes with Star Wars cargo like Star Wars Force Rings, Crayons, Sharpeners, Erasers, fun Wooly Balls, Star Glitter Bounce Balls and Glow in the Dark Aliens. Don't forget to add some Kiddie Mix Candy to sweeten the deal!

Star Wars favor packs help you make favors in hyperdrive!

When a battle for the galaxy calls, sometimes you need a favor pack that's ready to go in two shakes of a lightsaber. The Star Wars Value Pack includes enough Jedi-friendly goodies for eight sets of favors. You can trust the Force that these favors are a cinch.

Turn the party room into a galaxy far, far away!

From Tatooine to the Death Star, every planet and scene in the Star Wars movies has a cool intergalactic look. So transform your party room into outer space! It's easy! Start with a Starry Night Room Roll. Guests will feel like they're floating in dark space, surrounded by stars! Hang it with Sticky Tack that goes up fast and comes down without marking the walls. Bring the look together by adding a Star Wars Force Banner, matching Dangling Cutout Decorations and White Honeycomb Balls. Add a Darth Vader Life Size Cutout and it'll be like having the Dark Lord preside over your party! To complete this look, check out our Star Wars party table decorating and balloon ideas below!

Create a Star Wars space-scape on your table!
