Star Wars Themed Party

It happened. We blinked and she was all of a sudden five years old. Sweet Pea is no longer a toddler. She's done with Pre-K and is officially in Kindergarten. It's hard to believe that these past 4 years have flown by that fast. It seems like yesterday we were cleaning up from her Mermaid Themed Party. But alas, that was over a year ago. She has grown to continue to love mermaids but also loves her Star Wars. She is King Pea's daughter FOR SURE. She loves BB-8 and got to meet Chewbacca a few months ago at Disneyland.

Sweet Pea knew she wanted a Star Wars themed party because it was a tradition her sister started. When Sugar Pea turned 5, you may remember her party that was Star Wars Themed as well. It's something that makes King Pea super proud: Daughter's who love the same things he grew up with.

All of the photography was done by none other than Aish; Photography who recently went with us to Disneyland! The amazing staff with Solomon's Porch helped bring my vision to life too!

Here's her invitation made by us: More Peas, Please. The back was a new design for us. It was totally worth the literal blood, sweat, and tears. Plus the boys that were invited totally LOVED it.


King Pea is quite the artist. He drew these banners we had hanging up. Our kitchy style of decorating led to us showing off our collection of Star Wars memorabilia. Each table had something from our home: kid toys, King Pea's books, his toys, my brother's toys, our christmas tree topper (Yoda), etc. Here's the menus and signs we made. The signing of the blessing tags were in the shape of Millennium Falcons. The clip art can be found on Etsy at ClipArtopia


Here's a peek at the food. My awesome neighbor made these cookies for us because she's just great like that! The middle of our main table had helmets on it with the lightsaber we got Sugar Pea when she was 2. We used NV Cupcakes to make these awesome cake pops. Chewbacca was chocolate and the droids were all vanilla. They were super adorable and TASTY! The cake was what Sweet Pea blew her candles out with. She never ate it, but I sure did!


We brought back Ray with Blue Collar Balloons to make the kids their very own lightsaber. I called ahead of time and asked him to make the handles. He went a step further and added little lights in them. This saved time (the line was LONG - there were 100 people at this party) so that each child could pick their own blade color. Sugar Pea dressed as Leia while Sweet was {of course} BB-8. The gift bag personalization totally gets me every time. The same cookie maker, decorates bags like this. We also played a game: stick the bun on Leia. We had some winners and it was super cute!


Of course we had a huge family photo at the end. This little blaster balloon was a perfect edition.


The painting in the background is what King Pea worked so hard to do and the girls are showing how they stood as models for him. We printed it through Nations Photo Lab and it turned out GREAT!
