Get ready to blast off into a fun birthday adventure in space for your child's birthday party.

Step 1: Kids Party Invitations

For invitations you want to send out something fitting of the space theme for your child's birthday party such as a "captains log" or a blast off invite. Be sure to include all the information necessary on the card. Such as birthday party start and finish time. Birthday party address and directions. Your phone numbers just in case a guest is lost and can't find the venue.


Step 2: Kids Party Decorations

If your event is indoors, you may want to hang wallpaper of a black sky with stars and maybe some flying spaceships and astronauts, If your event is outdoors, you may want to make fake space shuttles out of cardboard boxes, you can also purchase balloons to fit your theme.


Step 3: Kids Party Activities

As always, try to have planned activities for the kids. Making astronaut helmets for themselves or each other is a fun activity. Have a blast off area were they can play with toy rockets and space action figures.


Step 4: Kids Party Games

For games try to think of ideas to match the party such as a blast off game were the kids slingshot foam rockets with their names on them and whoever reaches the farthest wins. Another party game is a moon explorers scavenger hunt. in this game, the kids will try to find all the different kinds of moon rocks in your party galaxy. These would be normal rocks that you would have painted in different colors. Hide them all over your party area. You may even chart them and give them names or powers. The possibilities are endless.


Step 5: Kids Party Food

Of course everyone is eventually going to be hungry, including your guest aliens.given out as space rations and the juice can be given out as extra fuel.


Step 6: Kids party Entertainment

For entertainment you may want to have a space shuttle or moon walk jumpy house. Jungle Joe can also beam up all your guests to the fun zone and make your party truly unforgettable.


Step 7: Kids Party Cake

It's finally time for the space captain (birthday child) to blow out the candles and for every member of the space crew to enjoy some birthday cake.A good suggestion for the cake would be a space shuttle or moon shaped cake with astronauts or small space ships on top.

Step 8: Kids party Favors

Party favors or goodie bags are a great way to close the party and send all your little guests home happy. For party favors , you could stuff your space decorated bags with space toys. Or give out a jet pack that the child can use even after the party has long passed.

If your kids are fond of animals, then you can arrange for a garden jungle safari theme to celebrate their birthday. This multipurpose birthday theme appeals to kids of all ages, and these types of themes are worth remembering.

Here are some things you can arrange for in a jungle themed party to make it more interesting.

You can ask your birthday guests to join you in the Jungle Safari Walk. Those guests who arrive late can also join in. You can decorate the walls and the floors with the pictures of animals and while music is on, make the kids walk around over top of the animals. And when the music stops make everyone shift to the animal space. In order to add more fun to it, draw the animal’s name and say it loud. Whoever is positioned on that animal has to quit and try to continue it till only one child remains.

Try to adapt that classic story of “The Tail on the Donkey in the birthday party. Paste the image of a tree on a large cardboard. Then cut images of bananas out of paper and place a piece of tape on the backside of all. Blindfold all the kids and let them put their banana on the cardboard. Whoever is able to get their banana wins a prize.

Paste images of animals in the safari cap. Make the kids imitate the animals in front of the group of kids and make the other kids know what animal they are. You can have kids attempt to sketch the animal as well.

You can hide small plastic jungle animals and make the kids search those wild animals while on their way to the safari and tell them to get one of each species. Make the party theme as interesting as possible. You can also arrange a game of shoot out to add to that party theme. You can have the kids enjoy shooting the animals with a toy arrow.

Do whatever you can to turn your birthday party into an event worth remembering; don't just let it pass you by. Celebrate your birthday with the people you love. Just go for it - and have a really happening happy birthday!
