Outer Space Theme Party Ideas

Space shuttle invitations. You can find a space shuttle picture online. Now trace the image to your paper - or even print many copies of the shuttle and use them as the "cover" of your invitation. For the inside, your presence is requested to launch (kid's name) 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!!"

Black light - glow in the dark items will show very well if you can light the room with a black light bulb. Use special glow in the dark paints - not "neon color" paint, it won't work in the black light. You can paint rocks, Styrofoam balls, or a poster. Flourescent colored poster board will show up well in the light as well. If you can only use one light, have it directed at your main decoration to get the most "bang." Home Depot, Wal Mart and other home stores have black light bulbs that you can replace in your standard lights for the event. Halloween is probably the easiest time to find standard-type black light bulbs.

DON'T THROW AWAY THE PARTY DECORATIONS! - Save money and do something your guests will LOVE! GIVE AWAY your party decorations! Use space posters (see below for inexpensive resources) to hang around your party area. Allow the winners of different games to choose which poster they'll get to walk away with at the conclusion to the party! Combine decorations with party prizes!

Orbiting planets - blow up round balloons and hang them with ribbon or thread from the ceiling. You can draw on the balloons to make them look more like planets. Or, you can cover styrofoam balls

Movie posters are easy decorations. They cover up lots of wall space, and they are good party favors after the party. Or, if your guest of honor REALLY likes the movies you have selected, give them to him or her after the event. Online stores have movie posters, there are poster stores in many shopping centers, you can check out their clearance section for the best deals. Again, check with your local video store and see if they have extra posters available. They often sell posters, too, but free is always better.

Movie soundtrack background. Gather soundtracks from different space themed movies and play them during your event. Even if the music isn't very loud, it will still influence the feel of the party. You can collect and burn your own CD to play, or check out various soundtracks at the library and just play them regularly. Consider setting up a stereo near the entry way for the first 15 minutes of the party to add a dynamic welcome to your event! Movies to consider: Star Wars, Star Trek, Alien, 2001: A Space Odyssey… Also, check composers like John Williams (he wrote most of the Star Wars theme music) and even classical music - Holst's The Planets are pieces written specifically to represent the planets in our solar system.

Make Aliens. Provide toilet paper tubes, pipe cleaners, glue, tape, construction paper, beads or jewels…anything you have around the house that is safe. Let the kids' imagination go wild and put together anything they want. Then have everyone explain what their alien can do - maybe it has eight legs so it can swim fast.
