Julia's Fifth Birthday Party
Julia had a couple of unusual requests when planning her fifth birthday party. She wanted it at both McDonald's and a Princess Leia theme. McDonald's was easy...The Princess Leia theme, not so much. After a little research and some effort, I managed to pull together a wonderful Fifth Birthday for the Birthday Girl!
I simply took a black tablecloth and purchased some 'star' confetti and sprinkled across the tablecloth to help tie in the Star Wars theme. Julia picked out some 'Princess' themed party plates and napkins since the Star Wars themed party supplies we found lacked Princess Leia images. She was not on board with having a 'boys party!' Each girly guest received a handmade Princess Leia bun headband made from brown yarn, a plastic craft headband, and lots of hot glue and Julia's two boyfriends received a set of Yoda ears made from green felt, brown yarn, headband, and more hot glue! Julia just wanted simple cupcakes...I made them at home and sprinkled edible gold stars on top and put homemade 'Princess Leia' pokes in each one.
The Birthday Girl and her Guests
I saw another blog on a Princess Leia birthday party with a wonderful idea for a game...Pin the Bun on Princess Leia! A great neighbor sketched her out for me and the kids had fun being blindfolded while trying to pin Princess Leia's bun on her!
