If you have more time on your hands, think about creating your own homemade birthday supplies (Space decorations, centerpieces, party favors, etc.).
You can start by finding lots of Space magazines - let your kids give you a hand and cut out all the space pictures (planets, comets, spaceships, etc.) and then use them as decoration around the party area, glue on the outside of cups and plates, on brown bags (as party favor bags), etc.
You can try contacting any NASA organization (check their website to see all of their centers), they have a lot of cool stuff they may give out for free - things like space stickers, cool space pictures, magnets, pins, etc.
Have a fun Space birthday party!
