The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Party!

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy Party! Today is my birthday--My 42nd birthday as a matter of fact! I just had to take advantage of my age, since it is the answer to life, the universe and everything. This quick party is easy to just throw together with free printables and simple supplies for a meaningful birthday to celebrate the ultimate age, forty-two.

Leave me a comment if you are a sci-fi nerd that loves parties like this! If you or a geeky loved one are nearing that magic 42 birthday, this party is a total shew in. It's simple to set up! “Space,” it says, “is big. Really big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mindbogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way d...
