Space Party – The right colors
The magical effect of the combination of blue and purple is what is so special about the decoration at the space party. You've probably seen a photo of a galaxy and been fascinated by the variety and combination of colors. The two colors mentioned are the basis, but you are welcome to expand the decoration with others: black, turquoise, gray, pink or yellow and beige, but metallic tones such as silver and gold are also ideal. Don't forget a little glitter to symbolize the stars.
And you can then use these colors as you wishGalaxy makeup, as well as for decoration, but also for the desserts. With food coloring you can easily get the desired effect for the space party. Here are a few space party ideas for the food, the invitation card and homemade space party decorations.
Space party invitation
The colors already mentioned should also appear in the invitation. Furthermore, stickers in the shape of stars, planets or the moon can be used to design the galactic invitation card. You can spray a little spray adhesive here and there and add glitter. Despite the distinctive space theme, don't forget to mention the theme so all guests know what to expect. It goes without saying that the date, time and location should also be noted.
Space party food
The snacks should not only fill you up, but also serve as decoration on the table or buffet. And the best way to do that is to...galactic colors for the dessertsand more specifically choose for toppings, creams and the like. Here are a few options that are guaranteed to be a big hit at the space theme party.
Ice cream for the space party for children and adults
Whether it's a party for adults or a children's birthday party with a space theme, ice cream is guaranteed to be a hit. And the beautiful choice of colors makes the ice cream even more appetizing. Just choose yoursFavorite ice cream recipe, which you just color, or our suggestion. This is how delicious ice cream is made:
- 500 g confectionery cream (or whipped cream)
- 225g sweetened condensed milk
- 1 tbsp Vanilla extract
- any food coloring
- optional edible glitter
Beat the cream with a mixer until stiff. Then add the condensed milk and vanilla and mix all the ingredients together well again. Then divide the cream into several bowls and color them in the desired colors. Then combine them in a larger baking pan. The colors should blend well with each other. Just be careful not to over mix them. If you want, you can sprinkle glitter on top and then freeze the vanilla cream for the space party.
Galactic jelly for a space birthday
- blue Jell-O mix (or clear gelatin, any flavoring and blue food coloring)
- Sprinkles and edible decorations in star and ball shapes, glitter, etc
Prepare the blue Jell-O according to package instructions. If you can't find blue jelly, you can also use gelatine and color it yourself and add flavor to it. Divide the finished pudding into several glasses or bowls, decorate it with the edible decorations and place it in the refrigerator to set.
Marble glaze for donuts and other pastries
- 200g powdered sugar
- 4 tbsp milk
- 1 dash of vanilla paste
- Food coloring in any color
- edible glitter as desired
Mix the powdered sugar, milk and vanilla paste together well. The finished glaze should not be too solid, but not too runny either. If necessary, add a little more milk or powdered sugar. Divide the glaze into several bowls and color them in the desired colors. You can add glitter to some (or all) of the colors (or sprinkle glitter over the still wet glaze at the end).
Now put a little of each color in a deep plate, mix them roughly with a stick and dip the pastry into it. Set it aside to harden and continue with the rest.
Space birthday decorations and craft ideas
Alone withBalloonsYou can kill two birds with one stone: On the one hand, you can use them to implement the color theme throughout the room. On the other hand, they can symbolize the planets or stars, especially if you choose round instead of oval models. There are also great balloons in alternative shapes such as stars or with suitable motifs (planets, astronauts, rockets, etc.). You can also make great things with themCreate balloon garlands.
Garlands and curtains for the space party for a child's birthday
Would you like to make your own space party decorations? Then make garlands, for example, by gluing paper stars or planets to string. If you hang such garlands vertically, you will get a beautiful curtain that you can hang in front of a wall. By the way, tinsel is also suitable as a theme party decoration.Everything that sparkles glittersand shines can be used for decoration.
Decoration rocket
Especially if the party decoration space is intended for a child's birthday, the rocket should not be missing. There are great printable templates online that you can use to make the rockets in advance and then use them as decorations at the party. But you can also make a few rockets with the children during the celebration itself. Here's an idea:
You need:
- Kitchen paper roll
- Cardboard or tissue or crepe paper
- colored paper
- Glue
- Scissors
- Paint brush
- Acrylic paint
- optional: glitter, paper stars, stickers etc.
Paint the roll any color you like and make a cone out of the paper and glue it to one of the ends of the roll. You can then make “legs” out of the cardboard, which you first paint and then attach to the rocket by cutting into the roll. The craft project becomes even easier if, instead of using the legs, you simply fold tissue paper lengthwise several times, put it in the roll and fluff it up slightly.
Make an astronaut
Especially if the space birthday is celebrated with children, activities are needed at some point so that they don't get bored. A few craft projects are a great idea. And since it's a space party, the crafts of course have to match the theme. AAstronaut is a great idea. How about this idea: Draw a man with a helmet on a piece of paper and then design it with cut-out elements made of self-adhesive foam rubber.
You can also cut a rectangular hole out of a paper plate and then use it as a mask (astronaut helmet). Another option can be found in the video below.
Wall design to match the motto
If you want to highlight the wall behind the buffet or create a photo wall in front of which everyone can have their photo taken, you can redesign a white sheet for this purpose. Whether you use textile or acrylic paint for this is up to you. Dilute the colors sufficiently well so that they can then be applied in spots to the sheet and create even transitions.
Finally, you can use a brush to add splashes of white or light yellow for stars. You don't need to dilute the paint for this. You can also paint planets, the moon or other cosmic elements such as shooting stars. Alternatively, you can use a black or dark blue sheet and some neon colors that glow in the dark.
Minimalist and monochrome in black and white
We said that blue and purple are the main colors, but that doesn't mean you can't use your own interpretations of space for space party decorations. This idea in black and white, for example, looks very elegant and attractive and is suitable for both a space party for children and a galactic party for adults.
Celebrate galactic birthdays with Two the Moon parties
You can use puns to make the theme, decoration or cake even more interesting and original. In particular, the Two-the-Moon birthday party, which is often chosen for children's 2nd birthdays, can be implemented in this way. Here the English word “to” is replaced by “two”. Since both words sound the same, this creates a funny play on words. Or how about this:
- You are out of this world!
- Love youtwothe Moon and back (I/we love you to the moon and back)
- You are simply galactic!
- You are my/our universe!
