Out-of-this-World Space Theme Birthday Party
Get ready to LAUNCH a "spacial" theme birthday party that's out-of-this-world! For this party, there's one store you just have to visit - it's the ULTIMATE Space store with every imaginable space-related party item you've dreamed of. Here's another space theme party pack for you to compare with. Invitations Here's a cool idea for a space party invitation: Find a picture of a Space Shuttle, trace it onto card stock or construction paper and cut Space Shuttle-shaped invitations. Draw some of the shuttle details like windows and the NASA logo. Here is what you can write: "Your presence is requested to launch (kid's name) (*th) OUT OF THIS WORLD birthday party!!! Launch Date: (date), Launching site: (address), Lift-off time (time) and return to Earth (ending time - if there is one). RSVP to mother ship (phone #). It'll be a BLAST!!" Instead of Space Shuttles you can cut out stars, planets, aliens etc...
-- Coolest Kid Theme Birthday Party Ideas -- Decorations Here's an entire page full of great space pictures, posters, coloring pages, and all sorts of other imagery to help warm up your engines and give you a boost in creating your own homemade decorations. Start off by hanging some of these really cool inflatable space items around the party area and at the entrance to the house. It's a great idea to designate a SPACE ROOM! First you need to cover the windows with either black blankets or black plastic (like the gardening plastic used for flower beds). You can move the furniture away from the walls and cover them with white sheets for "moon rocks". You will need a Black Light Bulb to create the Space effect and you can also use green bulbs for an eerie green glow throughout the house. You'll need a whole bunch of inexpensive glow-in-the dark items to hang up in the SPACE room and to hand out to the little astronauts (the kids love'em!). Paint foam balls (using Glow-in-the-Dark Spray) and hang them from the ceiling with fishing wire so it looks like the planets are hanging in mid air. You can also paint rocks with the same glow-in-the-dark paint and disperse them throughout the space theme birthday party areas. Next, cut out planets, moons and stars from fluorescent poster boards. Punch holes in the planets and hang them from the ceiling. You can make alien heads by blowing up green balloons and drawing black ovular circles for the eyes and two dots for the nose. Then attach these to tables and chairs. For tablecloth, use scrunched-up aluminum foil to create a cool celestial look. You can also make flying saucers by stapling two plastic plates turned upside down and hang them from the ceiling as well. The floors can be covered with an assortment of balloons. Silver and white balloons would probably fit best into the space theme birthday party. Put glow in the dark items inside the balloons for an awesome effect! "Beam" yourself over" to a special astronaut costume page I've put together where you'll find some of the other cool astronaut costumes available and... if you're up to the challenge... you'll also find tips on making your very own astronaut costume!-- Coolest Kid Theme Birthday Party Ideas -- Icebreaker Activities When the kids arrive to your Space theme birthday party, have them prepare air packs (2 liter bottles taped together with duct tape straps). You can spray these with quick-drying silver spray paint. You can also have them decorate it with some color glow necklaces and other glow in the dark stickers to create an amazing effect in the Space room. *Alien GOO: To make the goo pour a one pound box of cornstarch, a cup and a half of cold water and a tablespoon of green food coloring in a big bowl. Then mix with your hands until the mixture is smooth. You can put a glob of alien goo in little plastic bags and give each kid one to play with (if the goo gets too dry, add a little more water). -- Coolest Kid Theme Birthday Party Ideas -- Food Ideas You can't have a space party without REAL space food! Cake:
A UFO cake is a great Space theme birthday party idea. Bake one large round cake for the bottom part and bake the top cake in a glass ovenproof bowl. You can use light blue frosting and add dot candy to look like lights and tootsie rolls as stars. To make an Earth, Sun and Moon cake bake three 9-inch round cakes. Frost one blue (ocean) with green (continents) for Earth, one yellow with swirls and one frosted white for the moon (you can also add a drop of black food coloring for a metallic color). Frost it extra thick and you can make realistic craters in the frosting by pressing in with different sized measuring spoons.
