How to Make 'Star Wars' Birthday Invitations
"Star Wars" is a popular birthday party theme, particularly for young boys. A "Star Wars" party begins with the invitation. Because "Star Wars" is such a popular theme, you can buy party supplies with "Star Wars" characters and ships on them, but this can be costly. It's much easier to create your own themed party invitations.

Select a free picture from a website or pull your own screen shot from a movie. Look for one that you can use for with a quote with a birthday theme. For instance, with a shot of Yoda you might add the caption, "When 900 years old, you reach ... Look as good, you will not."

Tips & Warnings
If you aren't adept at manipulating images, use the image you want for the front of the invitation and add a "Stars Wars"-type line inside the invitation.
Use free images whenever possible. The easiest way to get the images would be to use screen shots from a DVD of your favorite "Star Wars" movie.
