Star Wars Kids Party Ideas ~ Printable Star Wars Party Labels
I’m sharing my oldest son’s 5th Birthday Star Wars Party!
I purchased both my boys a Star Wars costume. It was 8 months before Halloween so I figured I would definitely get my moneys worth out of these costumes!
I served hamburgers, fruit tray, chex mix party mix, chips, and drinks. Pretty standard party food, but I wanted to have those cute Star Wars Food Labels. We had Hans Burgers, Jedi Mix, Yoda Soda, and a Wookie Cookie!
I made these fun labels. You can print and use them at your next Star Wars Party!
Free For Personal Use Only: Click on Picture and Save or Print!
I used these labels to make centerpieces. Just tape them to a toothpick and place inside a balloon weight.
For the cakes I bought them from the grocery store. We had them write Wookie Cookie on it and placed one of my son’s toy Chewbacca on it! I love Cookie Cakes and have them at every party!
My father in law and brother in law were both just as excited about the Star Wars theme party! They actually volunteered and paid to rent costumes! They are awesome and I didn’t ask how much they cost to rent. I’m guessing $50-$75. I had the Star Wars theme music playing when they made their entrance!
We had so much fun playing with the Darth Vader and Chewbacca mask!
For party favors I bought Star Wars Coloring books and other Star Wars merchandise from the dollar store and dollar bins from Target. I also printed and cut out these free mask from http://starwarsblog.starwars.com! No longer on there but you can get them here now Geek Mom Mashup.
The party was a huge success and lots of fun!
Wordless Wednesday- Getting Ready for Father’s Day
Making blueberry Muffins.
Printer was out of color ink. We used black ink and colored them! I think it actually came out more cute this way!
Had great answers for Questionnaire!
FYI- almost impossible to hand print a 2 month old baby. Let’s just say my husband had to help with his own gift. Haha!

Gluten Free Strawberry Cake
My husband loves strawberry cake and for some reason they do not make a Strawberry Gluten Free Cake Mix. I prefer baking to be as simple as possible so I am primarily a cake box baker, so I had to improvise! I bought Pamela’s Vanilla Cake Mix and added fresh strawberries to the mix. I pretty much followed the instructions from the package with a few changes.
This turns out perfect and delicious!
Ingredients:
1 vanilla cake mix
3 large eggs
1/2 cup oil
1/2 cup of water (calls for 2/3 but with liquid from strawberries I reduced it)
8 strawberries pureed
Optional 1/4 teaspoon almond flavoring
Optional few drops of red food coloring to make it pretty
Baking Directions:
Cook at 325° for 25-30 minutes or until toothpick comes out clean.
Let cool and add a gluten free icing (most icing are gluten free) I prefer vanilla for this cake. Then top with fresh cut strawberries!
