I know the day will come when my boys will say they want a Star Wars-themed birthday party. I'm extremely grateful that Marie over at Make and Takes has pulled together the coolest blueprint, a Star Wars birthday party 101, if you will.

From the invitations to party game activities, Marie has thought of everything to make one pretty awesome kid's party. The best part is that you can pick and choose ideas from her post that best fit your budget and craft level. (I don't think I'd be willing to make little Jedi robes for all the kids, but now I'm thinking about it!)

My two favorite ideas from her post are the Lightsaber Cake and the Yoda Sodas (pictured below).
