Star Wars Sleep Over Party- Invitations & Decorations

DETAILS

This party was for a 9 year old boy.

It was held in the winter.
We had a total of 8 boys spend the night.

INVITATIONS

We printed the invitations two to a page on cardstock.
The envelopes were each addressed to "Jedi (friend's name)"

DECORATIONS

We had a lot of Star Wars toys that we were able to incorporate around the house... books, action figures, masks/helmets, etc.

The kids' masks fit nicely on the stair banisters.

We picked Black, White & Yellow colored balloons to match the invitations.

Books

I found a Star Wars Subway Art print online that I framed and put on the foyer table, along with a sign-in sheet for parents to put their contact numbers for the night & any food allergies we should be aware of.

We stuck Star Wars quotes on the mirrors and photo frames through out the house.

Here are a few quotes that we used:

"The Force is strong with this one!"

"Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?"

"I am your father!"

"Happy Birthday, Jedi (Name)"

The Dining Room was set up for dinner & crafts...

Games took place in the family room...

The movie watching & sleeping would take place in the upstairs media room...

We made bunting that said "Happy Birthday Jedi (name)! May the Force Be With You!" and hung those from the exposed beams in the media room.  We also had some silver foil star decorations hanging down.

I bought two of the outer space table clothes- one for the dining room table, and one for the wall in the media room.


 I used it as a backdrop to take photos of them dressed up in their Jedi robes with their light sabers.

Another fun find were the Star Wars face masks! 

I found these online by Google image searching "Star Wars Masks".  I used elastic string (left over from the Scooby Doo party craft!) 

The boys had a lot of fun picking out the mask they wanted (I made sure to have plenty of duplicates on hand)
