Ever since the kids' first birthday, I get excited to plan their party! I loved their parties when they were little. The excitement on their faces with family and friends all around and when the open their gifts and eat their cake! I loved picking out the theme with their help of course!! I used to make the cakes to go with the theme for example on year for Nathan's birthday, I made a dinosaur cake. I loved that cake, it was fun to make. I wish I had a digital pic of it to show y'all! My most recent cake I made was for Alexis' 10th birthday. It was a 'pinspiration' of course!! She had her party at the local gym and their indoor pool so went with a Luau theme. How many times can I write 'their' in this post?
The Luau Cake! Easy and Fun to make!
Well my Nathan will be turning 9 years old at the end of this month. He has asked for a Star Wars themed party this year. So what do I do?? Turn to Pinterest for help!! I've been pinning crazy lately and found a lots of great ideas!!!
I found these free printable invites. Printed and mailed out!
Name changed of course
His request was for hamburgers and a cookie cake. Done, I can do that! I found great ideas for the foods to be served like Darth Vader Taters ( tater tots), Jar Jar Links in a Blanket (pigs in a blanket), Leia Buns (pecan pinwheels) and more. I am excited to plan this party and I'm not even a big Star Wars fan. But what we do for our babies right!! I will be taking lots of pictures and will have a blog post on this hope to be fabulous Star Wars party!!
Hey, Tara! How was your son's birthday party? Did it go according to your plan? Well, I hope so. You haven't blogged about it. I'd like to see how you put into reality all your creative plans. I'm pretty sure you did your best to make this day very special for him. I'll be looking forward to seeing your post about it. :) -Nita Digirolamo
