Geek has never been so chic and delicious!
So my husband and I are (obviously) big Star Wars fans, so when the new Old Republic MMO came out, he really got into it.
His birthday party fell on May 4th, which happens to be international Star Wars day, you know, because "May the fourth be with you" (don't judge me :P), so I thought what better birthday present than having a shamelessly geeky Star Wars themed birthday dinner with the urban family?
Nothing, that's what!
So with that in mind, I set about to create a sweet and savoury table that combines my husband's favourite dishes, dorky Star Wars puns, and my firm belief that everything, even a silly sci-fi theme, can be chic and elegant while still being fun!
My awesome friends and fantabulous wedding photographers Nora & Chris took photos! Some dishes are missing because by then we had eaten them all. Oops! ^^
Refreshments:
Qui Gon Jinn lemonade
Java the Hutt Espresso Station
