Star Wars Party Decorations – Printable Birthday Banner in Lightsaber Colors!

DIY Star Wars Free Printable Birthday Banner Bunting

I’ve gotten a number of questions asking about my free printable Star Wars birthday banner hanging above my easy homemade BB-8 birthday cake at Elise’s Star Wars birthday party. I made the printable Star Wars birthday banner for Elise’s Return of the Birthday Star Wars party – and now it’s yours

Star Wars is a battle between The Dark and The Light …but a birthday party still has to feel like a party, you know? I designed a Lightsaber Color Theme — green, blue, purple and red, plus yellow because, well I like yellow. We’ve got green for Yoda, BB-8 and Qui Gon, blue for Luke, R2D2 and Jedi Anakin, Purple for Mace Windu, Chewie, Han, Lando and Ewoks, Red for Vader, Jabba and Boba Fett, and yellow for Leia, C3PO and Padme.

I used ASTROBRIGHTS Papers (affiliate link) for all of them because I love the brightness of their paper. I use their paper a lot and I highly recommend it.

To the character banners, I added a personalized galaxy “Elise is VI” sign inspired by the Star Wars opening credits. You can personalize and print this sign from my etsy store. I love this sign because it feels like the movie but is personalized for the birthday kid.

My printable Star Wars birthday banner comes with lots of characters using icons from Freepik made by flaticon. I know, I know, the only Force Awakens character is BB-8. We actually held this Star Wars birthday party in October 2016 so we only included BB-8. I may add Rey, Finn, Poe and Kylo Ren in the future.

Did I mention that my free printable banner includes free printable cupcake toppers too? You can use them to make some treats to go along with your easy homemade BB-8 birthday cake.

Next, purchase my personalized name sign banner at my etsy store that comes on a star-filled galaxy background (NOTE: It’s kind of hard to see the stars in my photos but they look great in person at the party). You can use this sign as many times as you like for all your birthday party signs – for this birthday banner, to make a front-door sign, signs for party games, you name it.

Hi, I know I am late coming to this party, but any chance you have added the Force Awakens Characters? Thanks!

Hi Caitlin, I have BB-8 if that helps? Also, I have Star Wars stair risers that you could do for Force Awakens, and a super easy BB-8 birthday cake, and the personalized Name sign. Hope that helps. I also have a good pinterest board for a Star Wars party - I love pinterest - have a great party

Thank you so much for all of these ideas! I love this banner!! Though I would love so much to have some of the Force Awakens characters on there. I couldn't even find them on the flaticon website. I'm either not looking correctly (very possible) or they've been taken down :(.

Hi Lauren, I'm so glad that you like it! I didn't see any new Force Awakens characters either. Maybe by the time the next movie comes out I'll draw some myself!
