With an outstanding 30 million viewers during its season premier, American Idol has become a nationwide craze. Some of the most dedicated fans tune in for every episode, gossip about the contestants, and simply put, live and breathe all things American Idol. So why not give those fanatics what they truly want for their birthday, an American Idol birthday party!

Invitations

The invitations are the first preview of the party that your guests will see. First impressions matter, so make sure your invitations are fun, creative, pleasant to the eye, and give away a few sneak peeks of the party. It is your choice to buy or make the invitations. If you make the invitations you can make them with paper and markers, or make them on the computer using a program like Microsoft Publisher. If you make them on the computer make sure you add pictures from the internet to make it more interesting. If you want to buy the invitations you can head towards your nearest party supply store or look online.

Decorations

A very important part of a party is the decorations. You could compare this to the exterior look of something, it is one of the first judgments made, and can set the mood of a party right off the bat. There are numerous different kinds of American Idol themed decorations available online and in party supply stores. Many different balloons are available with the theme. Also, there are flag banners and huge inflatable American Idol microphones available online through buycostumes.com and many other sites to help excite your visitors and press on the theme. If you cannot find any themed decorations, stick with the light blue and silver color scheme.

Party Games

The party game you should focus on the most is a karaoke game. You will want to give the participants numbers, like the show. Provide fun accessories and have them come up singly or in duets which will help for the uncomfortable contestants. To make sure no one leaves feeling bad, do not let anyone be judged negatively, do not allow children to judge another children or remove the judging all together. Also, allowing lip syncing is a good idea to provide comfort to the nervous contestants. Make sure everyone has fun!

More fun games would include Rock Band, and other musical games. The Nintendo Wii is a great game console for parties and creates a lot of enjoyment in all age groups. Other good activities are to watch a recorded episode, schedule the party in sync with the American Idol showing to watch a live episode or finale, and the numerous American Idol board and DVD games.

Have Fun!
