Viva El Vader Star Wars Birthday Fiesta

My son is a huge Star Wars fan and wanted to incorporate a fiesta theme. I started by creating the "Viva El Vader" invitation with my son's help. He wanted Darth Vader wearing a sombrero on his invitation. I included some festive fonts as well as designs to give a sugar skull vibe.

My son's Lego Darth Vader and Storm Trooper served as the centerpieces of the buffet wearing doll size sombreros from Amazon. Fiesta party decor such as table runners, mini piñatas, and maracas added to the Mexican theme.

I created a welcome sign, party favor sign, and dessert table signs to match the invitation. I put together a large balloon garland from Blush Balloon Party on Etsy to go over the door to the backyard. I also assembled a balloon garland from Amazon to go with the welcome sign.

This was such a fun, unique party to style and design. I couldn't have done it without my "creative director" son leading the way with his fun ideas!
