American Idol’s Back!

We’re huge American Idol fans at our house! So we were glued to the TV for the premiere last night. I’m so excited to see the new Idol hopefuls in a few weeks. I’m a bigger fan of the singing and voting portion of the show, than I am of the auditions.

I put together some American Idol birthday party ideas, to help you plan  if you have an Idol fan at your house.
American Idol Party Supplies
are easy to find, and it wouldn’t be hard to entertain the kids with an American Idol themed party. Just give them some clothes to dress up in, set up a stage with streamers, or silvery fringe. Start up the karaoke machine, or a microphone and CD player and let them sing the night away.

You can also play Idol trivia, ask questions about past Idol hopefuls, watch a popular Idol episode, or just let them show off their American Idol outfits.

Purchase American Idol invitations or make your own. If you decide to make your own American Idol invite, use a star shaped stencil to cut out card-stock stars. You can either cut out large stars and make it your invitation and write the party details right on the star. Or cut out smaller stars to stick on a larger square card-stock invitation. Add some glitter, or use glitter pens for a little extra star power.

A sample American Idol invitation message might be, “You could be the next American Idol. Please come to “Your Child’s Name’s” open auditions, on “party date” and finish your party details.

Cupcakes would be a really simple alternative to birthday cake, you can decorate them with a star. If you’d rather decorate a cake use American Idol Mini Light-up Guitars as toppers, and you can also give them out as favors.

I have a lens with more American Idol party supplies, and ideas.
