For my brother Will's twelfth birthday party, he wanted a Mandolorian theme. I have done many Star Wars birthday parties before, but since this was kind of a different theme and that was what he asked for, that is the theme I went with. I used a very metallic color scheme with gold and silver as well as browns, black and white. My grandparents got the amazing balloon and cake at our local Ingles. I threw this together the day of using whatever I had on hand along with supplies I picked up at Dollar Tree (the first time I went there since February!). The mini star balloons were from a pack I ordered on Amazon years ago and have used for lots of events since. The other stars (with helium) were from Dollar Tree, as well as the gold balloons and tablecloth. I painted the poster with the Mandolorian symbol and instead of "This is the way", I wrote "This is the 12th birthday." I made the wooden Yoda in a sculpture course, and it was actually a mess-up that I never finished (suffice it to say the weird hat-thing was not supposed to be there and the head is all wrong), but it matched and I wanted to get some use from it. I found an online printable for free Mandolorian cupcake toppers here that I printed onto gold and silver card-stock and made into a banner. I painted and taped on the light-saber handles to the bubble wands. For the other favors, I just stuck glow-sticks and pens with a wood design into Star Wars/Mandolorian packets I made with the same card-stock and drew on with pen. Those favors were from Dollar Tree, too.
Thank you for visiting! I look forward to sharing more with you soon!
