Every girl under the age of 12 loves Hannah Montana and would love to have a Hannah Montana themed birthday party. Why not go a step further and have a Hannah Montana rock star party? The Invitations – You can buy ready-made invitations at a reasonable cost from sites like mine, or you can choose to make your own. If you choose store-bought invitations, you can personalize them by writing on the envelope “Rock stars Only” and filling the invitation with gold star confetti. Choose a shape – don’t be boring and use a rectangle! Make a template of a microphone or guitar shape. Write “Rock the Stage at ___’s House Party” followed by all the details on the back. Glitter pens are a must for these guests! Another great idea is to buy a pack of blank CDs. They come in packs of 12 for around $10. With your guidance, have your child design their own cover using rock and roll clip art, images of stars, and a phrase like “One Night Only.” Photocopy as many as you need with your party details on the back, and replace the generic insert with your custom cover.

Burn your 3 favorite Hannah/Miley songs onto blank discs; Don’t worry, it’s totally legal as it’s for personal use and not for resale. Decorations: Hang tons of balloons and streamers in Hannah Montana colors (purple/pink) or go for metallic colors like silver and gold with posters of pop stars and rock bands all over the room. Write the name of each of your guests on yellow or gold stars and hang them from the ceiling. Request your guests to come dressed as their favorite music celebrity, but still provide a “vanity” filled with everything needed to look glammed up: glitter, tattoos, hair color, makeup, hairspray, and stick-on jewels. Create a stage area with plenty of inflatable guitars and microphones available where your guests can sing, do karaoke, or play “Air Guitar.” You know guys will do this! To make a stage, simply hang some strings in one corner of a room from one side to the other and hang sheets. Voila – a stage! Decorate your stage area with twinkling Christmas lights – as many as you can find! Crafts: Design your own concert t-shirt. Have a simple t-shirt for each guest that attends the party. Using fabric paint, stamps, or jewelry glue, have children write “Rock Star” on the front or back of the t-shirt. Further decorate with fabric trims you find at your local craft store. This can be your take home gift or part of the loot bag. Party Games: Play “Pass the Mic”: Pass an inflatable microphone in a circle with seated guests.

Play Hannah/Miley music mixed with some of the top 40. When the music stops, the child with the microphone in hand must sing the next line. If not, they are removed. If you have a creative group, divide guests into 2 teams and ask them to make a 30 second music video. Give each team a CD player with some CDs and 20 minutes to create. Then record your performances and play back your “music videos.” Hilarious! What a memory that will be! Menu: Concert Food – Chicken fingers and fries served in large plastic stadium type cups. Hot dogs served in aluminum foil. Popcorn and nachos served in individual bags (cut brown lunch bags) and plenty of soft drinks. Instead of cake, or as a topping, make a rock star toast. Offer all guests a plastic 7-up glass of champagne or sparkling water. Have everyone sing “Happy Birthday” and then cheer “Here’s to ___” and then the clink of glasses. Then treat yourself to your child’s favorite dessert!
