Invitations

Keep your eye on the sky with these fun invitation ideas!

• Kids will love helping with this idea! Use black cardstock. Fold it in half and cover the outside with glitter to create a dark night and glittering stars.
• Inside, use chalk or a silver marker to write "BLAST OFF! (Name) is heading off on his (age) trip around the sun!" Add date, time, and party location.
• Craft a rocket ship out of construction paper, using markers or crayons for detail. Attach it to black or deep blue cardstock with a short spring. When the recipient pulls the card out of the envelope, the ship will bounce around above the surface of the card. Write "Mission: (Name)'s Birthday!" on the front with chalk or a silver marker. Inside, write "We're launching a birthday party on (date) at (time). Be at our pad (address) for blast off!"
• Take a picture of your little pilot in an Astronaut Costume and put it on the front of a card. On the inside add the following: (Name) has been selected for Mission (age) and you have been chosen for the crew! Be prepared for launch by (time) sharp on (date). Please be prompt when arriving at (location). We look forward to having you on the team!"

Decorations

Start with these space boy birthday party ideas! Welcome guests at the driveway with a T-minus countdown. Closer to the road, write a large "10" with sidewalk chalk. Space out the remaining 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1 all the way to the door. On the door, finish off with an explosive "Blast Off!" sign and they won't be able to get through the door fast enough!

Inside, cover the walls in navy or black. Sheets, large rolls of paper, or plastic tablecloths are all superb wall coverings. Use construction paper to create stars, the sun, the moon, and earth as viewed from space. Jupiter, with its large storm, and Saturn with the famous rings, are easily recognized additions to the spacescape. If you have access to a black light, you'll witness a powerful display when you cut the lights. White stars will pop right off the backdrop to a chorus of oohs and aahs from your guests.

An Inflatable Space Explorer is a striking addition to your space! Kids up to 75 pounds can sit on this 55" machine, or hang it from the ceiling for an eye-catching display.

Alternatively, gather a collection of cardboard boxes and get out of the way! When you need great boy birthday party ideas, you can't beat a building project! Provide lots of tape, paper, washable paint, and stand by with scissors if you have a younger crowd (boxes can be hard to cut, so supervise closely). If you have a lot of boxes, divide kids into teams to see who can build the best rocket ship. The results are sure to be an impressive addition to your party décor!

A Rocket Play Tent is one of the exceptional boy birthday party ideas to occupy kids, especially those too young to build their own! Easy way to occupy guests during transitional time, plus an exciting way to set the scene!

Balloons and streamers are perfect boy birthday party ideas, and it's easy to use them to fit your Space party theme. Hang yellow balloons for the sun and stars. A white or blue balloon with a tail made of streamers make for an impressive comet (remember, a comet's tail always faces away from the sun!). And, of course, a line of gray balloons makes for an impressive asteroid belt, or hang them in singles as wayward meteors.

When you need space party ideas for a boy birthday party, turn to the Space Mission party supplies. This kit comes with everything you need for table settings for eight guests, including placemats, plates, cups, napkins, cutlery, balloons, silver table cover, streamers, and more. Additional supplies are available.

Costumes

You'll need boxes of all sizes for this space party activity. Provide plenty so kids can make their own space suits! Have scissors, packing tape, and aluminum foil on hand as future astronauts fit boxes around their bodies and limbs to create fun, clunky space suits. Once assembled, wrap boxes in foil for an out-of-this-world costume experience!

Food

When astronauts get thirsty, they don't always go straight for Tang! Try one of these thirst-quenching treats as your boy birthday party ideas.

• Lemonade – Astronauts really do drink lemonade in space! Let kids mix their own powder if they'd like, and offer round "asteroid ice" for the fun of it!
• Capri-sun drinks – The technology for this silver packaged drink actually came from space!
• Galactic juice – Start with a fruit drink of your choice. Use food coloring in ice trays to make ice cubes in several colors, and then add them to the drink. The funky colors will make every cup unique, but will not affect the flavor.

When tummies start to rumble like the roar of jet engines, have some of these treats on hand!

• Flying Saucer Pizza – One of the classic boy birthday party ideas, it's also a favorite!
• Moon Pies – This retro treat will bring a smile to parents and kids alike!
• Martian-mallows – Kids love marshmallows, so serve them up as snacks!
• Patriotic Fruit Tray – Show off that American pride with astronaut favorites such as red strawberries, white apple slices, and blue berries!
• Freeze Dried Ice Cream – Kids won't believe that this is real ice cream! Actual astronaut food right to your table!

Try one of these space boy birthday party ideas when it's time for cake!

• Give them the sun or the moon! Assemble a two layer round cake and cover it with bright yellow for the sun, or messy, pocked gray for the moon.
• Bake a sheet cake. Slice the cooled cake in half length wise, and place the pieces together end to end. Cut two triangles off of one end to make a point for a nose cone, and move the cut pieces to the bottom of the rocket as tail fins. Ice white, using black for the nose cone and tailfin accents. Add details and the letters USA to the body of the aircraft.
• Feeling ambitious? Start with a sheet cake and decorate it with the sun and planets, much as you would in elementary school. Start with the sun at one end, then move to Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. (Pluto has been downgraded to a dwarf planet, and is therefore no longer officially in the roster). Draw the portion of the orbit that is visible on the cake with white icing. Use a dark background for the best effect.

Party Favors

When you need boy birthday party ideas to send your space party guests off with a blast, try this! Space Mission favor boxes look like real rocket ships! Easy to assemble, they include a glow star and a glow stick, a space glider, a spacecraft lollipop, and a sticker sheet. Throw in Pop Rocks Candy – an explosive treat that delivers a blast of giggles right to your mouth!

Thank You Notes

Be sure to thank all of the co-pilots and crew who made your space party special!

Take pictures during party activities, making sure that you have at least one of each guest. Use an 8x5"x11" piece of paper to create an official-looking certificate. Put a picture at the top, and follow that with the words "Special thanks to Lt. (guest name) for your participation in Mission (birthday boy's name) Birthday the (age). Flight status: successful." Add a personal note to thank them for their gift, and you've created a prestigious keepsake!
