I found this fabulous site—houseparty.com—where you can sign up and "apply" to host a number of different featured parties. As I perused the list a few months ago, a Star Wars party caught my eye. My boys luuuuuv Star Wars, and this seemed right up their alley. So I was excited to get the news that I was chosen as one of the lucky hosts!
So the boys each invited some friends, and a couple weeks before the party our "party pack" arrived from Cartoon Network (the party sponsor). WOW! I knew they'd be sending some "party favors" but I didn't really think it would be anything too great. After all, this was all free! So you can imagine my surprise and the boys' excitement when we opened our box and saw not only posters, masks, stickers, glow sticks, and temporary tattoos for the guests, but also a nice Clone mask, Yoda bag, balloons, AND Clone Wars light saber, that I know costs over $20 retail! OH! AND a DVD of the premiere episode (and the bonus second episode) of Star Wars: The Clone Wars series on Cartoon Network, which will air on Friday, October 3!
We had our party on Friday night, and it was a hit. The kids played for a while and then we fired up the DVD and they watched while munching on popcorn, pretzels, and M&Ms, along with "light saber" Twizzlers.
I was thrilled with this experience and would recommend hosting a "houseparty" to anyone!
The Force was definitely with us!

Looks like they had a great time!
I signed up for houseparty, but I swear, it's like an act of congress to be accepted with them, lol. I really wanted to do the Barbie party, but was turned down. I've tried several other parties, but got turned down for all of them. I gave up.
Sorry you didn't have a good experience, Amy! Maybe I just had beginner's luck! :)
Looks like everyone had a blast!
