Hey guys! I hope you have all been having a great week! Although it has been a short week with the holiday on Monday, I am still ready for the weekend!
Today I am continuing on with Part 2 of my Star Wars Party series {you can catch the first post HERE} and talking about one of my favorite topics – FOOD!!!
Today I am continuing on with Part 2 of my Star Wars Party series {you can catch the first post HERE} and talking about one of my favorite topics – FOOD!!!
As we all know, little Jedi’s tend to be hungry folk. All of that battling can be hard work. I tried to keep the food fun while still slipping in a few relatively healthy food choices. Here is what we served up…
One of Connor’s favorite lunch time foods is grilled cheese sandwiches. With the help of these sandwich cutters from Williams Sonoma, Dave made up these Spaceship Sandwiches while the rest of us were out playing some games. The kids all gobbled them up and had fun blasting away at the ships.

Since Jedi’s love their light sabers, I made up some fruit sabers. Surprisingly, most of these were quickly gobbled up too!
In keeping with the healthy food, I did have a plate of Vadar Veggies but I must say I did have quite a bit of this left over. What can I say? I tried.
We also had a few little treats on the table to tide the Jedis over until birthday cake time. Their favorite was the TIE fighter cookies.
They are made from the 100 calorie Oreo wafer cookie packs, mini marshamallows, and some white chocolate to stick it all together. They were a yummy little biteful!
We also had some Death Star donuts {in chocolate since that is Connor’s favorite!}

So the big food hit of the party was definitely the Yoda Soda. I pretty much do a version of this punch at every kids party that I have. It is quick, easy, and all the kids seem to love it. Just scoop out some frozen yogurt {in the color of your choice} and add Sprite.
My favorite is raspberry frozen yogurt but I didn’t think my little Jedi’s would be too happy with a pink drink. Since Connor does not like lime flavor, I ended up using vanilla frozen yogurt and some neon food coloring to tint it green. Yoda would be proud.
In addition to the Yoda Soda, I also had some Galatic Water on the table {and outside where the little Jedi’s were playing}

I just took the regular water labels off the water, wrapped them with some glitter paper {that was left over from the light saber invitations} and added the Storm Trooper tag.
I purchased a Star Wars digital kit from Natalie’s Little Corner of the World and used it for the above water labels and food label tags. You can also find some links to some free kits here. Due to a lack of time, I didn’t get as much done with the digital kit as I had hoped, but I am sure there will be many more Star Wars uses in the future!Here are the food labels that I printed up {you can download them HERE}
I just trimmed them with a paper cutter, attached them to some of the blue glitter paper with double sided tape and then added that to some folded white cardstock. We also had some of Connor’s Star Wars men out on the table guarding the food.
Now I am sure you are asking “Where is the cake?” There are so many fun Star Wars cake and cupcake ideas that I actually saved it for the next post. Head on over HERE to get some great Star Wars birthday cake ideas.

Super cute party!
WOW!!! Excellent ideas! I love it!! I had to Pin this! LOVE the Wookie Cookies! LOL
Creative way to do the food for a Star Wars party. I especially love the light sabers. Great work.
What a great job!
Adorable party! I’m not trying to be a nitpicky jerk, but it’s Vader, not Vadar. Just saying. 🙂
Nice creativity! .I think you can use more chocolate in your dishes for kids because they like more star wars characters :).You can also get more dessert ideas.
My 3 year old son recently developed a passion for Star Wars – I’ll have to incorporate some of these ideas into his party. Looks fun.
Also – I love that you posted this on the 35th anniversary of the release of Star Wars a New Hope. Happy coincidence?
Really great ideas, but the Star Wars nerd in me wants to tell you about the spelling of Vader…
Some other ideas for super serious nerds:
Mon Calamari Cakes (tuna salad between crackers)
Wedge Antilles (little sandwiches cut into triangles with a Rogue Squadron emblem on a toothpick)
Cad Bane-anas (Chocolate covered bananas
Thanks for the printables! I used some of them for my son’s party. I linked to you on my blog at http://www.larciebird.blogspot.com
Yay! I’m glad you were able to use them! I’ll have to check out your party – hope your son had a great time!
I just stumbled on this post while looking for ideas for my son’s Star Wars party in a few weeks time. I love the Yoda Soda – how could any kid resist a drink that colour? Thanks for sharing!
Yes, that is always a favorite recipe around here! We just change up the color for different holidays. 😉
great work! how can i download the prinatbales
You just have to click where it says “download here” to get the document from Google Drive. It seems to work best if you are using Chrome for your browser and often doesn’t work with Internet Explorer. Once you have downloaded them you can save them to your computer and print as you would like. Hope that helps!
Adorable ideas!!! Truly!!!
