the Tablescape & Decor
The party decor features navy and white farmhouse inspired details with galvanized steel accents, farmhouse lighting, and tiered tray decor. We dressed the table in a white hemstitch linen tablecloth and accented it with a 3-inch wide navy ribbon down the center of the table for just a hint of color.
We used simple place settings in navy and white. Royal Norfolk blue and white dinner plates from Dollar Tree paired with basic white salad plates sat atop a round blue placemat and galvanized steel charger. We formed mini lightsabers using blue cotton rolled napkins and a simple silver napkin ring. Ours are no longer available, but these are similar. Simple pilsner glasses held our Sparkling Lightsaber drinks.
For our centerpiece we decorated a rustic white tiered tray with a Tie Star Fighter and a Kom’rkClass Gaunlet Fighter. We tucked in some trailing greenery, some rustic grapevine balls, a string of wooden beads, and a DIY Star Wars framed print.
We decorated our dessert table with a navy tablecloth and rustic wooden crates. We displayed our droids from Droid Depot in Galaxy’s Edge along with a Lightsaber and some more plants and grapevine balls.
One of my favorite elements of the decor was the lighting. We draped our outdoor patio Edison lights loosely over the dessert table and hung a large lantern over the dessert table. I wasn’t able to find a Death Star lantern, but love how this hanging lantern looked. We purchased it from Wal-Mart for under $8.
The Menu
Our menu was inspired by our favorite Star Wars characters and icons. The treats are all simple to create and so much fun to serve. Get our recipes below.
Sparkling Lightsaber
This drink is requires just three ingredients but is so delicious and fun to serve. Blueberry syrup combined with limeade and ice creates a beautiful ombre effect that’s out of this world. The drinks are garnished with your choice of mini lightsaber decorations or light blue rock candy sticks. Get our simple recipe here.
Millennium Falcon Pizza
The Millennium Falcon is absolutely iconic and pizza is the ultimate movie night snack so we decided to combine the two into this simple and fun character pizza. Get our easy and delicious Millennium Falcon Pizza recipe here.
Yoda Veggie Platter
Yoda is one of our absolute favorite Star Wars characters so we represented him with this fresh veggie platter. We arranged broccoli in the shape of his face and sculpted cucumbers and olives to create his eyes and mouth. We filled in the negative space with purple cauliflower and served it with a side of dill dip.
R2D2 Popcorn
These custom R2D2 popcorn bags were so fun to use. We created an R2D2 print sized perfectly for a popcorn bag. We cut it out and pasted it to the front of a blue and white polka dotted popcorn bag. Then we trimmed the top of the bag to follow the silhouette of our favorite droid and filled the bags with buttery popcorn. Get our free printable here.

White Chocolate StormTroopers
The iconic Storm Troopers just had to have a seat at our table. We found a set of fabulous Star Wars candy molds on Amazon and had a lot of fun creating these using candy melts. Get your own set of molds here. The set includes a Stormtrooper, Darth Vader, X-Wing Fighter, Millennium Falcon, R2-D2, Han Solo, Boba Fett, and Death Star. This was our favorite find for this party. We highly recommend it for fellow Star Wars fans.

This delicious Star Wars Wookie Cookie is a Disney fan favorite for good reason and the great news is it’s easy to create at home! All you need are some chewy oatmeal cookies, a Hershey chocolate bar, a white icing pen, and whipped cream. Get our recipe here.
