You can get personalized space party invitations printed with the details of your party - launch time, shuttle bay, etc. These high quality space invitations then come pre-printed with all your details, saving lots of time and getting your party off to a very professional start. 

There are lots of space-themed invitations to choose, from, just click on one of the invitations above and you'll also be able to look at others. 

Note that the party tableware packs below also have matching party invitations (ones you fill in yourself) if you want your invitations to match your tableware and decorations. 

This Space Mission party pack is great for kids who love pretending to be an astronaut. Maybe they're getting a kids astronaut costume for their birthday?

Younger space enthusiasts will enjoy this bright cartoon style space-themed birthday party box. 

It features a cute silver, purple and blie rocket and all the party supplies match. 

Again you can choose which pack you want or buy items individually.

Another option we really like is this Space Shuttle themed party tableware from the Space Store. They have a whole range of matching party supplies including invitations and party bags. 

And if you have a child who loves space you're sure to find some really cool space themed gifts there too.

This inflatable solar system is a great way to decorate for a space party!

I always like decorations that you can keep and use after the party. A kid who loves space will really like this inflatable solar system in their bedroom or playroom afterwards. 

The set made in proportion and you get a really big Sun, 9 planets including Earth and also Earth's moon. 

The sun measures 3 feet across. Earth is 12", the moon is 8 inches. And the planets vary in size from the largest Jupiter at 22" down to Pluto at 8". What a great way to learn about the scale of the planets. 

Make sure a knowledgeable adult is on hand to give a tour of the solar system as one of the party activities. You can tell the kids they are astronauts and move them around the room giving them fun facts about the planets and giving a small prize to the first person to identify each planet.

An inflatable space shuttle in orbit over the party also works well, especially if you have the inflatable solar system hanging from the ceiling. 

This inflatable space shuttle is 20" long and is a good quality one which can be moved to a child's bedroom after the party if you keep it for display only. 

It also comes with historical and educational material.

And I just can't resist this cool inflatable astronaut. He makes a brilliant centerpiece for a space themed party. 

He's 2 feet tall and stands up. He's dressed for a space walk. 

Kids will love it if you have this astronaut out on the floor (He does come with a patch kit.)

Why not include him in a space obstacle course? Tell the kids their fellow astronaut has got into trouble on a space walk and they need to navigate an obstacle course of space junk to rescue him and bring him back to the shuttle.

And of course a space shuttle cookie cutter is a great way to make space-themed food. 

You can use it to make butter cookies and then add white frosting and pipe some detail on. 

Shuttle-shaped sandwiches are fun too.
