David Stark Designs

I saw this picture of a party and could not believe my eyes. It was unlike anything I had ever seen, and I needed to know more. Event planner David Stark is well known for his amazing design work, so I'm thrilled to see that my very first encounter with his work is in his new book David Stark Design which chronicles some of his greatest projects over the last several years...

The Indiana Jones Birthday Party!

I cannot believe that my son is SEVEN-YEARS-OLD!
I love planning parties, and this one was a blast!
Parker wanted an Indiana Jones Party...
so, we started with a classic lego invite.

The kids were divided into teams and then
had a timed Scavenger Hunt in the backyard.
Each team took off with their hats looking for
golden coins and the famous jewels!

This was the most delicious chocolate cake made by my
sweet sister-in-law Stephanie!!
She really went over the top and the
kids all went crazy!

Parker could not keep his hands off the cake!

The group photo with the
hats on!

All serious!

Loving the gigantic candles!

The kids loved their wax lips and mustaches!

And Turner had a great time carrying the whip
all afternoon!

Happy 7th Birthday Parker!

The Jedi Master turns SIX!

I ordered this amazing invite from http://www.princessandthepeas.com/
I LOVED it!
I was thinking of my own personal scrapbook when I ordered it!
I also received many compliments! (Thank you Princess and the Peas)

My mom and dad were able to come to Valpo for the party!!

Not only did they show up...but they were in COSTUME!

The cake was made by a friend from church, Diana Wright!
(Yes, she is starting a business...and I am trying to help!)...beware of black frosting!



My father, was the ultimate Villain!!
You should have seen the kids when he walked down the stairs to his theme song.

Each child was able to complete 'Jedi Training'...he let them each take about 4-5 swings, and then 'graciously' let them win by raising his arm and bowing his head.

Princess Leah was demonstrating the power of "God"

The handsome Jedi Knight, Shaun was using this as an opportunity to guide young lings to the 'Force of God'...

I made tunics for each child and the Princess called each by name for the presentation!

The youngest Jedi was 2 years old and was not able to complete the training..maybe next time.

The group picture!

The group picture PLUS the Death Star! The death star was a hit! We passed it around the circle to Star Wars music and when the music stopped, the child who was holding the Death Star gave their present to Parker.

We did take a moment to 'refuel' the Jedi's!

Each child was then presented with their own certificate of completion!

What an amazing memory! I truly LOVE to celebrate!!

We have had many parties and I LOVE the process of creating them!

Let me know if I can help you plan your next party!
