No matter the age of the birthday boy, this party rocks.
If you are looking for a birthday party theme that is a little more hardcore than a couple of candles on a cake, a rock 'n' roll bash might be right up your alley. Regardless of whether you are planning a party for a teenager, a tween or an adult, a rock 'n' roll theme offers possibilities that are sure to please the guests.
Invitations
Invitations set the tone for your party and get your guests excited about attending. For a rock 'n' roll party there are a couple of really cool ways to ask people to come. A classic idea is to print up invitations that look like concert tickets. A variety of stationery suppliers, both brick-and-mortar and online have pre-made templates that you can use to plug in the information and rock on.
Another way to invite people to a rock 'n' roll birthday is to paint a funny face on a rock and attach it to a regular invitation that says, "Now you've got your rock, so let's roll." These invitations will need to be hand delivered.
Decorations
Decorating for a rock 'n' roll birthday party really depends on the age group that will be attending. Rock 'n' roll means different things to different generations. If the guest of honor came of age in the 1950s or 1960s, then having a replica of a jukebox is a good place to start. Paint paper plates black to look like records, and hang them from the ceiling. Make sure you have a dance floor.
If your birthday boy is younger, get inflatable microphones, guitars and posters. Posters of the birthday girl's favorite bands are another nice touch, as are black, dark purple and silver balloons.
Activities
Rock Band is a very popular, interactive game.
Consider having a TV with a gaming console hooked up and have the Rock Band game for guests to play. There are many versions of the game, so you can please the different generations of rock 'n' roll enthusiasts. .
Another way to entertain your guests is to have each one decorate his own concert T-shirt. Supply fabric markers and set your guests loose. Be sure to get pictures of the final products.
Favors
No rocker's look would be complete without dark sunglasses, so give each guest a pair of slick shades. Put together a mix of the birthday girl's favorite songs and burn them on CDs. Label them with the party girl's name and send one home with each guest.
