Purchase some dark-colored balloons and streamers. Intermingle colors like black, dark grey or navy blue with red, yellow or white. Fill the balloons with helium; use creative spy-themed weights, such as handcuffs, badges or magnifying glasses. Place the balloon clusters in the corners of the room. Weave the streamers throughout the party rooms.

Create a favor table near the front door or whatever entrance you are using for your party. Line the table with sunglasses for the adult chaperones, as well as each child if you would like. Take a photo of each guest as they walk in, using a digital camera that prints photos out in a small size; tape each picture to an adhesive label to make ID badges. This is a cheap and easy way to "decorate" your guests as they arrive. It's also likely to lighten the mood from the start.

Purchase pictures from the "Spy Kids" film franchise. These can be found at a local poster shop or through a movie memorabilia store. Purchase large manila folders. With a black marker, write "confidential," "top secret" or "destruct after reading." Hang these on the wall to break up the movie screen shots.
