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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
