Adult Star Wars Party

My husband is always awesome to me, so I use his birthdays to show him how amazing he is, in return.  He's a Star Wars nut and always has been, so I wanted to make his birthday memorable this last November.

In summary, I did this:

Threw a surprise party, invited his nerd friends and they trained as Jedis.
Ordered him a custom Jedi Robe.
Special planning details for the event.
Shaped an Adult Party from a child's party.
Made lots of geeks happy, especially mine.
Also included - Star Wars Cheesecake ( Pimp Stormtrooper Cheesecake)
Williams Sonoma Star Wars Cookies
:)

Step 1: Venue

Basically, I lucked out.  I found a fencing studio (Southern California), and they offered a children's Star Wars birthday party package at their fencing studio.  So really, you need to try for fencing studios in your area to see if they can mold a class for your event.  Amazingly, my studio had the basis down for the whole idea.  Our teacher was dressed as Anakin and he was very fluent in the ways of the force and made easy choreography for the guys to learn.

It really was a work-out, so my tip is to bring an ice chest with ice and bottled water.  That was a real life saver and everyone was glad that I did!  They will need to rehydrate between all the combat battles!

You can ask the guys to bring their own light sabers or if the studio has them, they can just use them for the class.  But, chances are, if you're reading my party idea, you already own one, or you will go buy one as an excuse if you ever throw this party.  Hahah. :D

My husband is a Star Wars nut, too! I can't wait till his next big birthday so I can use some of this stuff for his birthday (we have a fencing school nearby, and we know some of the instructors).

Translated message I get when trying to view the youtube video:
"This video contains material from SME, who has blocked it in your coutry for copyright reasons" :(
I have no idea what "SME" is :S

[Neme^]

Its prop Sony Music Entartainment. Same thing here, blocked. :/ But cool stuff, perfect wife. :)

[kristylynn84]

Sorry about that! It might be because of the Star Wars music. :(

Now THAT looks like a great birthday. Not much I can add beyond what others have.

Do you have an equally inclined sister perhaps?

[doxsys]

What I want to know is who got to play Leia in her slave bikini? And where are the pics? :)

I agree with everyone else though -- You win the Superwife of the Year award!
