Star Wars {Dark Side} Theme Party

Any time the King Pea hears one of my friends' kids wanting to have a party that involves ANYTHING geek, he wants a part of it. When we were asked to help with a scavenger hunt, King Pea dived head in and even made me learn how to use my iMovie to make a holographic image video in a....yes....Star Wars Theme. He made a video to introduce the scavenger hunt, then went around to different businesses asking if they would hold a package for Chick Pea to pick up. He learned how to make his own lightsaber and then broke the pieces apart and had her get the boxes to rebuild it. He etched out the Sith creed on her handle and hand dipped it to make it marbleized. It is a fully functioning lightsaber built for a true Star Wars fan.

First, I'm going to show you the places where they had to pick up the clues. Chick Pea's friends had a blast figuring out King Peas' riddles. We want to give a HUGE shout out and Thank you to the businesses that allowed these tweens to invade their space this past Summer: Movie Tavern, More Fun Comics and Games, and Barnes and Noble. Our little city is so awesome at allowing things like this. Sweet and Sugar even got involved. King Pea dressed them up, made signs for them to hold, all while they waited to see the birthday girl. One guy thought they needed money...and gave Sweet Pea $20. Wow.


The birthday girl's mom was needing a place to hold the party so we did it at our house. I decorated in the "dark side" colors, put together components to make lightsabers and froze Death Star ice cubes. Here's the "setup". The girls made their own lightsabers with glow sticks and they had some other cute little things from Chick Pea's mom. A Darth Vader head filled with candy and

The birthday girl enjoyed her play time, cupcakes made by Solomon's Porch team, and her newly put together lightsaber!


In the Sith language, this is the thank you tag More Peas, Please made for the girls.
