    Star Wars Day, May 4th is a huge holiday for our family.  My daughter already has her R2D2 dress ready to wear for school and her Rey costume ready for after school.   I am sharing lots of ideas for you to celebrate May the 4th be With You or a Star Wars Party.  There are easy DIYs that you can make today and include in kid's lunch box tomorrow.  This year we have even more to celebrate with Star Wars Day since Solo: A Star Wars Story is coming out May 25th! Board the Millennium Falcon and journey to a galaxy far, far away in “Solo: A Star Wars Story,” an all-new adventure with the most beloved scoundrel in the galaxy—Han Solo. See all the details and the trailer below.

    Decor for Star Wars Party

    For parties I love using printables.  Sarah from All things with Purpose created these printables for the Epic Star Wars Party.  You can get them all here.

    The printables includes these adorable napkin light sabers.  They were such a hit and super easy to make.  See below.

    This pinata from Oriental Trading Company was a hit for decor and for a fun activity.  Star Wars Party Pinata

    Food for Star Wars Party

    We recently purchased this beverage dispenser and it is always a highlight at parties.  The kids love being able to serve themselves.  I love not having half full drinks all over the house.  This printable transformed the dispenser to a fun fueling station.  
    Star Wars Drinks

    How cute are these Star Wars napkins from Oriental Trading Company?  And these Star Wars cups are one of my favorites.  They originally come with juice we simply remove the labels so they fit into our party decor.

    Favors for Star Wars Party

    Our daughter recently started chewing gum and she is totally hooked so it was no surprise that she wanted to include gum balls in the party.  I wanted to avoid having my daughter and her cousins chewing gum during the party so we made them as favors.  I simply took these mini jars and super glued Star Wars Easter eggs onto the top of the jars.  We filled them with gum balls and added them to our bar cart.
