Lego & Star Wars!!

My co-worker and friend booked me well in advance for her son's 7th birthday party.  She wanted cupcakes that were customized to suit her Lego/Star Wars theme.  I was super excited to bring a smile to her son, Rylan's face in the form of sugary treats (see below), but at first, had no idea what a combination of Lego and Star Wars meant!  Well it didn't take long to find out!  With the help of her custom bingo cards I was well on my creative way.

I AM SOOO PROUD OF THIS DIY PARTY MOM!!  She has not planned many large parties for her son and this year she wanted to go all out for Rylan.  And that she did!!  As I mentioned, she created custom Lego/Star Wars bingo cards for everyone to play.  She actually has allowed me to share them for anyone to use. If you are interested, please email me at frostedandfabulous@gmail.com and I will send you the free download.  Super nice of her eh?!  She found it discouraging that there were not more free downloadable print games like this and expressed her want to share her custom made printables with "all the moms out there".  They are amazing and I am sure lots of moms or party planners will make excellent use of these.  Thank you Rizza!!

She had her uber-talented sister-in-law design the invites for the party.  You can check those out below also.

The lightsabers were made from Foam pipe insulation that was purchased from Rona (a local hardware store) for $.80!! Different colour duct tape allowed the kids to customize their own lightsabers and they even took them home! Instead of traditional loot bags each child brought home a cupcake, lightsaber and treats from the Darth Vader pinata!

The kids also played "Pin the Head on the C3P0".   What a fabulous idea!  Part of the activity was that the kids got to decorate their own C3P0 heads.  Each child wrote their name on the back and the winner of the game got Star Wars tattoos, stickers or a mini lightsaber.  The same prizes were used for the winner of the bingo games as well.

I think the party was a smashing hit!  What do you think?
