A celestial-themed party already feels magical, but adding interactive party favors like fortune tellers and decision spinners brings that “written in the stars” vibe straight to your guests’ hands. After a special request for the designs from my Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash, these printable favors are now available as free downloads for your next moon-and-stars celebration.

Celestial party favors as free printables
During my 40th birthday party, the celestial theme was all about the moon, stars, and the future, so it only felt right to create favors that helped guests “discover” what might be ahead. The fortune teller (a classic cootie catcher from the 90s) and the celestial decision spinner both doubled as decor, activities, and take-home gifts.
These printables were originally designed for the Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash, so if you’d like to see how they looked in action on the tables and favor displays, you can visit the original post here: Celestial Themed 40th Birthday Bash on A Well Crafted Party. The same designs will work beautifully for a 40th birthday, New Year’s Eve, celestial wedding, or even a Twinkle Twinkle Little Star birthday for little ones.
How to use these free celestial printables
Once downloaded, you can print the fortune teller and spinner at home or through a local print shop, depending on how many guests you’re hosting and how polished you’d like them to look. For a sturdy, party-ready feel, print both designs on a white glossy paper. A heavier weight coverstock would be best for the Magic Spinner fortune teller, I used a 14 pt. cardstock. For the fortune teller I used a 100 lb weight paper.
These celestial printables are for personal use only and are meant as a free resource to help you celebrate well without adding extra design work to your plate. Please do not resell, redistribute, or host the files elsewhere; instead, link back to the printable post or tag @jennibost when sharing.
Printing and folding the 10×10 celestial fortune teller
The fortune teller is designed as a 10×10 inch square so it has enough space for starry details and clear, easy-to-read fortunes. Printing it at the intended size keeps the folds crisp but still large enough for adults and kids alike to use comfortably at a party.
10X10 Fortune Teller:
- Click to download the 10X10 Fortune Teller PDF free fortune teller printable. Save the file to your printer and print on a large-format home printer or through an online or local printer.
- To print at 10X10 size: Most home printers won’t print at the 10×10 size. Mine doesn’t! I ordered my prints from Uprinting.com but any local printer would be able to print these at actual 10X10 size. You can print single sided if you want a white background or print double sided to have the celestial print on the other side. My print order: Size: 10″ x 10″, Paper Type: 100 lb. Paper Gloss, Folding: None, Printed Side: Front and Back, Bundling: None
- If you do have a large format printer then print actual size on a glossy 11X17 cardstock*.
8X8 Fortune Teller:
- Click to download the 8X8 Fortune Teller PDF free fortune teller printable. Save the file to your printer and print on your home printer or
- To print at 8X8 size: Print at actual side and double sided on 8.5X11 glossy paper*. You may have to adjust your printer settings to get the image to line up. You can print single sided if you want a white background or print double sided to have the celestial print on the other side.
To fold the fortune teller (cootie catcher):
- Start with the printed square facing design-side down on a flat surface.
- Fold each corner into the center so all four points meet in the middle, creating a smaller square, then crease each fold firmly with your fingernail or a bone folder*. (I highly recommend a bone folder to keep the print looking good!)
- Flip the paper over so the folded flaps are now face down, and again fold each corner into the center, forming an even smaller square.
- With the folded side up, fold the square in half horizontally, crease well, then unfold and fold in half vertically, creasing again.
- Slip your thumbs and index fingers under the four inner flaps from the underside and gently push inward to pop the fortune teller into shape, adjusting the creases so it opens and closes smoothly.
Printing and assembling the 7×9 celestial decision spinner
The celestial decision wheel spinner is designed at 7×9 inches so it can sit nicely on a plate, favor table, or bar as both decor and an interactive activity. Guests can ask the spinner a question and spin to “see” what the stars suggest they do next—whether that’s dance, grab dessert, or snap a photo!
To print the 7×9 celestial spinner (celestial decision wheel):
- Download the Free Celestial Fortune Teller Spinner PDF and save to your computer
- Print on 14 pt glossy cardstock* to keep the spinner sturdy as guests use it.
- In your printer dialog, choose “Actual Size” so the spinner remains at 7×9 inches, and avoid “Fit to Page” to prevent distortion.
- Allow the ink to dry fully before cutting so dark blues and blacks don’t smudge over the stars and text.
To assemble the spinner:
- Carefully cut out the spinner shape along the outer border lines with scissors or a craft knife and cutting mat.
- Using a small hole punch, awl, or sharp craft tool, create a small hole in the exact center of the middle star on the spinner design.
- Attach a ready-made plastic or metal spinner arrow* through the center hole, following the hardware instructions (often a small brad or screw-style fastener).
- If using a brad, place the arrow on top, insert the brad through the arrow and the center hole, then spread the brad prongs flat on the back so the arrow can spin freely without wobbling.
For best results, test the spinner before the party to make sure the arrow glides smoothly around the circle and clearly points to each celestial prompt or decision.
Bringing the celestial theme together
At the original party, the fortune tellers and spinners joined glowing moon lights*, strands of star fairy lights*, and personalized star ornaments to create layered, starry table settings. You can pair these printables with other celestial touches—like metallic star garlands, dark blue linens, or twinkle lights—to create a cohesive look without overwhelming your decor.
To see how the fortune tellers and spinners fit into the full event, including decor, favors, and entertainment, head over to the Celestial Themed Party post and use it as a blueprint for your own moon-and-stars celebration. Whether you are planning a milestone birthday, New Year’s Eve party, or cosmic-inspired wedding, these free printables are ready to help your guests feel like fortune really does favor them.
