The Fly Into Summer theme is unique and gives party goers something to talk about — check out the cool vintage maps. It's also a theme that won't break the bank. Kristen Toy shows us how she threw this boy bash on a budget by using items she already had or could pick up on the cheap. Get inspired by her high flying dessert table at Spaceships and Laser Beams.
