Introduction and Party Invitations

Kids are often fascinated with outer space, space ships, and new worlds to explore beyond our own. Is it any wonder why so many children dream of being an astronaut when they grow up? A great party theme for both boys and girls is outer space. It brings these new worlds right to their own front door as they celebrate their birthdays.

Send your guests a spaceship invitation. Using heavy card stock, cut out spherical shapes in different colors, and have your astronaut birthday child decorate the front with stickers and craft items. On the reverse side, write all of your party details.

Alternatively, purchase packets of Pop Rocks^® candies, and use a ribbon to attach a small invitation card to each packet that provides all of the party details.

Use thematic space language on your invitation:

Blast off for a birthday full of out-of-this-world outer space fun!
