Party Recap

This was a fun party to plan. Luckily, i planned well in advance and it made finding the rockets and robots themed items a little easier.

Idea

Party Highlights

  • Activities / Games

    Our party was indoors so we had a sticker table (essentially it was a sheet of space stickers that you made into your own theme) and a space puzzle table. We also had 2 cardboard rocket ships that the kids could climb into, color and put stickers on.

  • Budget

    Alot of items were either clearance from Oriental Trading, Birthday Express, from Dollar Tree or from the $1 aisle at Michaels.

  • Party Favors

    The goodie bags included: free books about saving our 'planet' from the EPA, plastic space guns, space themed window clings, rocket or astronaut bubbles, and more candy!

  • What People Ate

    We ordered pizza, but i had the following available: cupcakes, marshmallow pops (super easy and they were a hit), rocket sugar cookies with royal icing, candies, chips and drinks.

  • What People Drank

    I offered Capri Sun (for the foil/space theme), coke/diet coke for the parents and water.

    My first try at rolling out cookies and using royal icing. I think they turned out great...and they were very tasty!
