question of the week:"I was hoping to get some advice and suggestions for a Rock Star themed baby shower. Both parents love music- my daughter-in-law used to sing in a high school music group and my son used to play heavy metal rock in a band as well. Their baby boy is due May 29 and his room is also decorated in a Rock Star theme. Do you have any suggestions for the shower and invitation? How should I word the invite? Thank you for your help! -Susan"

You could also tell guests to bring a CD of their favorite rock and roll songs for the baby...
I'm working on a Rockstar 13th Birthday Party and I checked out Bridget's idea. Very cool!!
ReplyDeleteNot sure if any of my ideas will work for a baby shower...but you can check them out at www.personallyyouparties.blogspot.com if you want to.
I love this theme idea for a baby shower though...how fun and different!
Some of this may seem corny but take what you like.
ReplyDeleteYou could have a table covered in small pebbles (rocks) and stars hanging from above.
Rock wrapping paper etc..
Play rock songs throughout the shower that include the word baby.
Everyone donate to name a real star after the baby.
Have the shower underneath the starry sky.
Make record album bowls for the food.
Everyone bring a onesie that they decorate after their favorite band.
Give a gift of lullabies that rock stars have actually recorded.
Use rock star photos as babies for a game.
That is a start.

This would be so fun! These are the ones off the top of my head...
ReplyDelete* Play Guitar Hero or Rock Band
* Use old records as art and/or center pieces (you can get them for nothing at Goodwill), if you get ones the parents really love you could get record frames and gift them to the parents afterwards
* Give the mother to be a list of rock stars that were born around her due date (you could even make this in to some sort of game)
* You could have something that says "Rock-A-Bye Baby" (you could use this on the invite)
* Have everyone at the party write down their favorite "rock star" memory of the mother or have them write down their favorite songs or a song that reminds them of the mother
* They have toy microphones at the Dollar Store, you could use those in the decor
* Play music trivia
* Use rock candy
* Have guests pose for pictures with the mother to be wearing sunglasses (looking like rockstars)
Such great ideas!
ReplyDeleteFor a similarly themed party for my son, I used these ipod socks as favors. I put a candy bar in each one and designed a paper sleeve to wrap around it with a birthday message/thank you for the guests. Of course, I cannot find a photo right now, but here is a link to the ipod socks, very inexpensive! http://www.amazon.com/Beanie-Socks-Phones-players-SanDisk/dp/B000KFYD9E/ref=pd_lpo_k2_dp_k2a_1_img?pf_rd_p=304485601&pf_rd_s=lpo-top-stripe-2&pf_rd_t=201&pf_rd_i=B0006JMX14&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=1JRCWS1KBF9FWEWYHQPE
This silhouette was created for a boy with a rock themed nursery. This could also easily become an invite, party decor: http://pumpkinpetunia.bigcartel.com/product/guitar-personalized-silhouette-8x10-print

Invitation should look like a poster/flyer for a concert. CD with rockabye baby lullaby songs as the favor.
ReplyDeleteI did a table recently with a "You Rock!" theme.

I design invitations and printed some baby announcements for a client that was in a band, in the style of a CD... You can see the example on my website http://www.tasharaedesigns.com/baby3.html
ReplyDelete(bottom of the page) I can customize and personalize the designs too!
