9. Host a Lightyear-themed party 

Is your child more of a Buzz Lightyear fan? Take their party to infinity and beyond with a Lightyear-themed party! You could include cues from the upcoming Lightyear movie, pay homage to the Buzz Lightyear of Star Command cartoon, or stick to the movie timeline. 

No matter how you choose to tackle the theming, hosting at a spacey Peerspace venue, like the Outer Space Place, can make the occasion even more memorable. It’s a Philadelphia apartment that is literally wall-to-wall space-themed!
