Hand out light sabers with your invitations. This makes all the potential Jedi Knights super excited so that they ask their mothers when the party is multiple times a day. They also practice their Jedi moves constantly (and very seriously), and ask to "have a fun time at Justin's party" in their prayers. No joke.
Have Princess Leia greet them at the entrance to the Jedi Training Academy.
Feed them Galactic Pizza and Yoda Soda so they'll have lots of energy for their Jedi Training.
Have each Jedi complete a strenuous obstacle course and hone their light saber skills with balloons.
(Watch out for the hot lava!)
Enlist the help of some "bad guys" to kidnap princess Leia, then let then the newly trained Jedi Knights come to the rescue.
After vanquishing Darth Vader and his evil minions, send the victors off to destroy the Death Star and enjoy the spoils of battle.
(Enjoy the action shots below. If you had a child at the party, please try to ignore that having 12 children on the trampoline at one time is a clear violation of the manufacturer's recommendations. It should be noted that no children were [seriously] harmed in the making of these video clips.)
Yeah, I'm pretty sure you have the "coolest mom in the neighborhood" award in the bag this year. I know my kids talked about this party for days, both before and after. :)
