May the 4th Be with You

If you're a Star Wars fan, you're not alone in the galaxy. May the fourth (as in "May the Force be with you") has become a regular celebration among Jedis and Stormtroopers alike. It's a favorite with children, too, but why should they have all the fun?

If you want to throw a good Star Wars party for grown ups, here are a few ideas for you, plus a free party planning sheet to download.


Of course, we use the term "grown ups" here loosely. Star Wars tends to bring out the kid in all of us.

Refreshments are a must at any party. Besides the usual Yoda Soda and Wookie Cookies, you could opt for some more savory food. BB-8 pancakes, lightsaber grapes on a skewer, and Death Star meatballs could be yummy. 

"Grown up" activities could include a costume contest, build-your-own-lightsaber activity (followed by a duel, of course), and a Star Wars trivia game like this one from Amazon. Or you could just make up your own trivia game.


If you need tips for decorations, the internet has a Bantha-load of ideas on how to make your party room look amazing.

 As for the guest list, that's up to you. But we suggest not inviting any Sith. They are kind of downers. If your leanings are to the Dark Side, we suggest you plan a party for the day after May the Fourth. The Revenge of the Fifth.
