Rock Star Party

Rock and roll your way into these fantastic rock star party ideas. Who doesn’t grow up idolizing rock stars and want to be one? They live a glamorous lifestyle of fashion, music, and travel. Why not live your dream and become a rock star yourself by creating a rock and roll theme at your next event.

Rock Star Party Invitations

Use empty CD cases and make custom pictures of a rock concert or you with your friends. Have an iconic phrase for the title of the album on the front. Make sure to include your rock star party information.

Make one night only concert tickets with details of your party. This can be done using a computer and then printed onto tick printer paper. To add an extra touch to make them shiny, you could laminate the tickets and cut them out.

Create a backstage pass (either these could be made at home or bought). These can be made on cardstock paper and place inside a carrying case with the neck strap.

Make a guitar shaped birthday invitation on the computer. Find one with a fun shape like a star body with guitar handle and then cut out in that shape.
