Green Alien Party Foods:
Take me to your eaters! Here are some other food ideas from the party galaxy:
- Flying saucer candy, right.
- The adorable green alien cupcake idea, left, comes from Wilton, as does the
green Martian cake, right. Just click on the cakes for the full recipe instructions.
- Create flying saucer cake plates. Decorate the rim of plastic silver plates with
button candies to give a flying saucer appearance. The little candies look like
glowing lights. Use Wilton Sparkle Gel as the edible glue to hold candies. Allow
to dry overnight as the gel takes time to dry. If you can't find classic button
candies, try colorful M&Ms.
- Green nachos (it's a bit repulsive for adults yet wildly entertaining for kids if you
add a hint of green to your nacho dip).
- More fun green food ideas:
- Green Alien Mocktail
- Lime Jello (call it Alien Slime).
- Mint Chip ice-cream
- Marshmallows (just marshmallows with a funny name). If you make home
made marshmallows, add green food coloring to your recipe.
- Use green Easter egg dye to color eggs green, then draw alien faces
- Other celestial food ideas:
- Milky way and Mars chocolate bars
- Starburst fruit chews
- Moon pies

Green Alien Party
How to have a space birthday party for kids that's out of this world
Greetings earthlings! A green alien party for kids will surely cause speculation about
what really happened in Roswell, New Mexico in 1947. So don't just plan an alien party
or a space party, plan a green alien party!
From green slime to glow sticks, green lava lamps and green libations, your
extraterrestrial exchange will be remembered for years to come by kids and adults
alike. But above all, think green! Green alien goo and green alien party favors that
glow will help make this a space birthday party to remember, as will the six-foot tall
green alien inflatable, left. When you go green, you'll have a martian party that's out
of this world.
Here's how to have a close encounter of the birthday kind with a green alien party for
kids. Incidentally, it's also the coolest Halloween party in all the galaxy. This is all
about a green alien party:
- Turn your martian party into an alien convention: Hand kids a name tag with their
funny alien name and planet of origin. For the name, just spell kids name
backwards: Mike becomes "Ekim" of Jupiter, Sabrina becomes "Anirbas" from
Mars, and so on. Group families from same planet or create new planet names.
If you run out of planets (Earth, Jupiter, Mercury, Venus, Moon, Earth, Uranus,
Neptune, and Pluto), just reverse the letters or mix them up (for example Earth
becomes "Htrea" Threa," "Thera," or "Rathe"). For the alien party favors, hand
kids a bag and they can earn the favors by visiting each booth at the alien
convention. Each booth can be a space party carnival! The rubber ducks, left,
are perfect for a space theme party.
- Decorate party goers. The Alien Area 51 costume, top right, is clever, but all you
need is some green makeup, and funny accessories like the green alien
sunglasses or a green wig to convey your party theme. Even the boys will have
fun with this idea. For a Martian party, give everyone alien antenna boppers or
wrap an alien baby inflatable around kids arms. Dab kids with IGlow body gel
with parents permission first as some kids have hyper sensitive skin, and offer
to paint kids fingernails green. As evening sets hand out the glow stick
necklaces, bracelets and glasses. (Remember, the boys will love this too!) Here
are some ideas on how to make green alien costumes.
- Get gooey with an alien operation. It's squeamish and giggly fun when you invite
kids to feel alien body parts. Start with a large inflatable alien, as pictured top
left, and place it on a table within kids reach. Nestle bowls of creepy
concoctions for guests to "examine" by touch, such as peeled grapes for eyes,
lime gelatin for alien blood, licorice ropes for alien intestines, cooked spaghetti
noodles dyed green for alien brains, and a water balloon heart. Finally, drape a
white or green plastic table sheet over the "examination area" and cut slits for
each of the bowls. Now you're ready for kids to "examine."
- Come in for a crash landing. Section off a crash scene to create your own Area
51. For the crash site debris, use an old baby seat, vacuum pieces, a hose, and
other finds around the house or found in a thrift store. Wrap items in aluminum
foil or spray paint them to give a metallic appearance. Look also for UFO
inflatable pool toys or boat tow inflates because every alien party needs a flying
saucer. Give the scene an eerie look with dry ice or a fog machine, or a green
flashing light, pictured right which is only effective at night. Then tape off the
area with caution tape, or use a hula hoop to section off a smaller site. And be
sure to post an AREA 51 door sign, left.
- Make easy flying saucer favors. Start with two plastic silver plates for each kid.
Lay flat a variety of small green alien favors, such as a retro squirt gun, alien
bendable figurines and squishy ones, or the green alien parachutist, pictured
left, or green candies. Staple the plates together at opposite sides with the
goodies inside. Position a green alien passenger inside a short clear plastic cup
or domed lid from a convenience store or coffee shop and glue with a clear
drying glue on top. You can collect lids from your Starbucks Frappucino or ask
your barista for extras. Save one lid for the alien birthday cake too! Decorate
with button candies or other small colorful candies that you glue with icing gel
for lights, such as Necco wafers.

- Use a black marker to draw alien eyes on green latex balloons. Note: sometimes the

M&Ms, green apple Jelly beans, green Tootsie Rolls, green licorice twists and
more. You can also create mini edible aliens from Wilton Black Sparkle Gel on
green Jordan almonds. See our green party foods store.
