Use the Force Luke!!! You might not find the force here, but you will find the Ultimate Star Wars Party Theme Idea.
Now how would I know you are looking for the Ultimate Star Wars Party Theme Idea? The Force?
I don't think it was the force...probably google or MSN... :)
But back to the party...To get started on this journey, you are going to encounter ideas starting with the location, then the invitations and finally ending up at the Thank You Notes. So get ready and pay attention because you child's next party depends on it.
But before we get to far into our journey, here is a Star Wars Party Theme Idea for Party Packs. They include just about everything you need for your Ultimate Star Wars Theme Party!

Now it’s time to start planning the Ultimate Child Theme Party, but the first question to answer is where do you have it? There are so many options and picking the “right” one can be difficult for some people. Just remember, as long as your child’s family and friends are there, the location really doesn’t matter to them. So pick somewhere that is convenient and easy for you to setup and clean up in a minimal amount of time. Now keep reading for an Ultimate Star Wars Party Theme Idea.
* Luke's Home Planet: Now I know you are not planning on traveling to Luke's Planet for your child's party...or are you? Anyways...I know your child would just love his party if you brought Luke's Planet right into his own house. Now I know your probably thinking you don't have enough time or creativity to pull that off, but I am going to share with you the Ultimate Star Wars Party Theme Idea to help you transform your home into that planet. To get started, keep reading through the decorations, invitations, etc, and you will find more information on how easy it will be for you to make the transformation happen. But first, I would suggest checking out our selection of Clip Art and Coloring Pages. You will find a ton of information and pictures that I know you won't be able to use it all!!! Now, what are the benefits of having a party at your home? You might be thinking NO WAY!!! But wait, first I know you won’t forget any crucial party items at your home (e.g. piñata bat). Second, that reservation won’t get screwed up…because you are already there! Finally, you know where everything is, how convenient. Now don’t get me wrong, you do run the risk of damage and such, so be sure to weigh the benefits and risks and pick what’s best for you and your child!
* Big Day Out: An excellent Kid Theme Party Location is the local park. Now there are a lot of benefits of having the party outdoors...and I think the most obvious is the surroundings. You aren't at "your" home where something of "yours" could get broke. You have more opportunity to really decorate the area how "you" want. But to get started on selecting the "Ultimate Park", begin by making a list of all the local parks/water parks in the area and write down the key features of each one. For example, how much area is available? is there a playground? tennis court? trash can availability? bathrooms? covered areas? capacity of park? etc. You don’t want to show up at an overcrowded park, with no playground or bathrooms and it starts to rain. Spend some time in selecting the right park and I guarantee your party will run a lot smoother. Don't worry, you'll still be able to use a lot of the decorating ideas from this site, so don't stop here...keep reading for more kid theme party ideas!
*Star Trip: How about transporting the children on a spaceship down to a local establishment? Now why would you want to do that? Well, one great thing about renting an establishment is they sometimes provide you with invitations, discounts on food, a cake, etc. Make sure you find a decent place that provides you with enough stuff to balance out the rental cost. Don’t be afraid to ask for food discounts and other items, you will be surprised on what they will offer, but only if you ask! Also, ask if you can bring your own decorations...

Picking out, setting up and fine tuning the decorations can be a long tedious process. But, there is hope, because with a little planning and creativity, it will be one of the most rewarding experiences of the party. I have compiled a lot of Star Wars party theme idea that start with the outside decorations and finishes with the inside decorations. You can use all, some or none of the ideas, but no matter which kid theme party ideas you choose, they will help turn your party location into the Ultimate Party Location.
First, let's start with the outdoor decorations:
Attach a bouquet of helium filled balloons to a light post or mailbox so there will be no mistaking where the fun will be that day!
Put a sign out front of your house that says, "Star Wars Party Here!"
Here is an easy way to make a great birthday banner. Use a white vinyl shower liner and 10" black vinyl letters (you can purchase these from an officer supply store). On the banner you can write something like, Jedi Council or Star Wars Party. You can also let your children or guests draw Star Wars characters all over it.
Now, let’s move inside the party location and decorate…
Let’s start with the simple decorating. Tie helium balloons of different shades of yellow, gold, blue, green, etc. in clusters of 3 or 5 to the back of chairs or tucked into corners. Don't forget to tie a bunch of balloons to the birthday child’s chair. If you choose not to use helium, tie balloons to varying lengths of curling ribbon, and hang them from the ceiling or from light fixtures throughout the house.
Here is a great Ultimate Latex balloon for your party: Star Wars 36" Shaped Balloon.
Next, let’s move on to another simple, yet familiar decorating item, Streamers. Streamers offer an economical way to splash lots of color around the site of the party. Create a fun and colorful effect by draping rainbow colored metallic streamers from the center of the ceiling to the walls on each side of the room. The streamers can be twisted after they are anchored to a ceiling wall or table for a more dimensional look. Two different colored streamers can be placed back to back and twisted for a unique look. After you are done, it should look like a spiral rainbow above the room! They also look terrific hanging from doorframes or cascading vertically down walls. Streamers are an excellent Star Wars Party Theme Idea.
These great Glow Stars will be perfect for any room you might be showing a movie or playing laser tag.
Give the children the Ultimate Deluxe Glow Necklaces & Bracelets for the party activities.
Decorate the walls with this Glow Star Gossamer. Or use it for ties on the back of the chairs.
Don't forget this great Star Wars Honeycomb Party Decoration.
Tape posters or pictures of Star Wars characters to your party walls.
Clear out all toys and books, except for those related to Star Wars.
Make collages of different Star Wars characters to hang around the party area. Check out our Free Clipart Section for ideas.
I hope you can find a Star Wars Party Theme Idea you can use for your Ultimate Party!

The colors of the party should be pretty simple. I would stick with yellow, black, white, green, yellow, etc. After you have selected the party theme colors, decide on whether you will use either printed or solid color party tableware.
Here are some great Star Wars Party Theme Idea Tableware.
* Star Wars Dessert Plate
* Star Wars Dinner Plate
* Star Wars Luncheon Napkin
* Star Wars Dessert Napkin
* Star Wars Hot/Cold Cup
* Star Wars Drink Bottle
* Star Wars Jointed Banner
* Star Wars Blowouts
Going solo on your party theme? Can’t find any party theme tableware you like? Then take a look at the silverware, plates, napkins, etc in solid colors. You’re guaranteed to find a color that matches your Star Wars Party Theme Idea.

Trying to keep the guests attention until the party starts isn't an easy task. But with these Star Wars party theme ideas listed below you won't have any problems!
Let those who’ve arrived early play with Bubbles while they wait for the other guests to arrive.
Don’t forget to check out the great collection of coloring pages I have compiled. A coloring activity is a great way to keep the children occupied until the party starts. Plus, you can send their pictures home in their goody bag.
A simple game of Darth, Darth, Vader (i.e. duck, duck, goose) is a great ice breaker activity. You can keep adding children to the circle as they arrive. I have yet to find a child who doesn't like this game, it’s a classic!!!
Freeze Dance is another great game to get kids acquainted. The game doesn't require a certain number of kids, so they can join in as they arrive. Play the Star Wars Theme Song as the kids dance. If you stop the music, they must freeze. If they don’t freeze, they are out. The game restarts after all the children have been eliminated except one. Kids love to dance and play games, which makes this an Ultimate Star Wars Party Theme Idea.
Have the children decorate a large birthday banner in honor of your child that says, “Happy Birthday, Name”. You can get a large roll of paper from a store like Target. Give the children crayons, stickers, and other such items to use.
Story time with puppet show: Make the puppets by printing characters off web sites & laminating them. Attach to Popsicle sticks.
Set out as many Star Wars toys as your child has. This way the children could have a choice between playing with toys or doing an activity.
Have Star Wars playing on your TV as the guests are arriving. This will definitely keep them entertained until all the guests have arrived.

Picking out the perfect food, refreshments, treats and cake should be a fun experience. Think of clever names for each item that relates back to the Star Wars Theme. Pick out a Star Wars Party Theme idea or two to get started:
Star Wars Party Theme Idea for Food:
* Light Sabres - cocktail sausages with strips of either carrot or cucmber pushed in length-wise
* Crackers in the shape of stars
* Long Pretzels
* Padawan Pizzas - Provide the children with enough ingredients to create their very own pizza
* Galaxy Cookies - Make the entire solar system: stars, moon, and planet shaped cookies
* Tusken Raider Taters - Make your favorite tater tots!
* Boba Fett-uccine - Will be a party favorite
* Wookiee Cookies - Make your favorite chocolate chip cookies
Star Wars Party Theme Idea for Refreshments:
* Colored Kool-Aid - Start by making a pitcher of Blue Kool-Aid. Next, make red and yellow ice cubes with food coloring. Then the kids can add a red ice cube into their kool-aid and it will turn purple or they can add a yellow ice cube and it will turn green.
* Blue Bubbly Planet - To make the blue bubbly planet you will need lime sherbert, sprite and blue food coloring.
* You can serve the drinks that children love, such as, Capri Suns, Kool-Aid Koolers, Kool-Aid Jammers, boxed juice, etc.
Star Wars Party Theme Idea for Cake:
Deciding on whether you are going to make or buy the Ultimate cake is a tough decision. It mainly depends on how much time you have and how many guests are coming. I would suggest for a smaller party, you try and make that Ultimate cake. But if there is going to be a large number of guests, maybe a large cake made by the baker would be the best decision. It’s up to you, but here is a Star Wars Party Theme Idea for making an Ultimate Star Wars cake.
* Star Wars Party Theme Cake #1: Order a cake with black icing and ask for stars and planets to be drawn onto it. Then, on top put some Star Wars action figures.
* Star Wars Party Theme Cake #2: This is an R2D2 cake. Bake a 2 layer cake and a cake in a bowl. Stack the 2 layer cake and then place the bowl upside down on the layers. Cover it all with white icing. Then cut up blue fruit roll ups into rectangular shapes and stick them onto the icing in the proper positions to make his face and head. Use black icing for highlighting and to make his camera eye on his head. For his probe, ice 3 lifesavers together and have them sticking out. Put yellow fruit roll ups around the bottom to show he is in his pod.
* Star Wars Party Theme Cake #3: Make a 4' long light saber cake using simple rectangles. The handle is Chocolate and the blade Vanilla.
* Cake Decorating Items *
* Star Wars Darth Vader Battle Cake Topper
* Star Wars Yoda & Light Up Saber
* Star Wars Cupcake Decorating Kit
