Son wants everyone dressed in black for his Star Wars party - Too much to ask of others?

[Anonymous]

I plan to put it in the invitation "Please wear black to join in the fun" but will other parents hate the idea?

This will be annoying. Most everyone has a black top or shirt, but not bottoms. Does your son expect parents to buy black clothing to come to your son's party?

Maybe if you want to buy outfits for everyone, to easily put on at the party? But I think it's over the top and kind of obnoxious.

I don't see the issue.

I think it's over the top, too. If anything, put something that along the lines of, "feel free to wear your favorite Star Wars outfit".

[Anonymous]

Kind of a bother. Why black? Could they not wear other Star Wars costumes if they have them?

[Anonymous]

Ugh, bad enough when brides start requesting guests wear specific colors. Don't do it.

If the invite is obvious that it is a Star Wars party kids will probably want to wear a shirt if they own one.

I wouldn't do it. Even if everyone does own a black outfit not everyone will remember to wear it to your party and then that will be an issue too. Keep is simple.

Let your son do all black (Luke? Vadar?)

Put on the invitation "Jedi and Sith, join in the fun by wearing your favorite Star Wars costumes or Ts"

Most boys will have something Star Wars in their wardrobe, if only a character T.

Or if your son is set on black, pick up some cheap black Ts from Walmart or Michaels and make an iron on star wars logo for the front to give as party favors.

No, don't mention it in the off chance a kid doesn't have a tshirt.

That Is silly. If they want to do a Star Wars theme party and he doesn't have a shirt, cheap Star Wars Ts are easy enough to pick up. Or he can wear all black. Or carry a light saber.

Rare is the boy who does not have anything Star Wars.

OP, this is a fun idea. The vast majority of parents are not the crazy fun sucking anti happiness dcum moms.

Most people will have a lot of fun with this theme, especially the kids.

Have some of your own kid's costumes/Star Wars stuff on hand to share if a kid comes without.

And ignore the anti fun crowd here.

I would put "Star Wars or black attire suggested." and leave it at that.

Those who are interested in joining can find something. Those who can't or don't want to can still come to celebrate your son's birthday in whatever they wear.

Nobody's saying the party plans won't be "fun" - just that it's a PITA.

OP, the best thing to do would include something like this on the invitation: "feel free to wear a star wars shirt! We'll have extras on hand so everyone can join in the fun."

And then buy enough cheap shirts/clothing for all the kids to wear should anyone forget or not have a shirt. The burden of having a fun party should be on you and your son - not on other kids or parents complying with specific requests.

If you tell your son no to this idea what will his reaction be?

Is he always this controlling or i this a one off?

[Anonymous]

if you do mention it on the invitations, please don't use the word "attire" as suggested above. that would be more inappropriate than the suggestion of wearing black. oh my.
