Rock and Roll Birthday Party

1.7K Shares

My little bean is one year old. I have no idea where the time has gone. A one year old doesn’t have a ton of interests, so we had to sit and think about a good theme for his birthday party. One thing was for sure: the kid loves music. He claps and dances every time we play his favorite DVD, Trebellina (a music appreciation DVD for children – helps them read music and learn about different instruments… I highly recommend this one), so we thought that a rock n’ roll themed party would be fun! Gotta love Pinterest… I found so much inspiration through the site, which made planning a lot easier. Click here to see my planning and inspiration board for Sawyer’s Rock n’ Roll themed birthday party. In today’s post I’m sharing all the details from Sawyer’s rock and roll birthday, including rock star party supplies and decorations, rock and roll themed party food ideas, rock and roll party songs (I’ve got a great playlist for you!), rock and roll birthday party printables, rock n’ roll themed party favors, and more rock star birthday party ideas. You’ll want to save this post if you’re planning a rock n’ roll birthday theme or a School of Rock birthday party.

I always say that the event invitation should really set the tone for a party, as it is the first impression folks will have of your event. It is also an easy way to find a theme (colors, fonts, and patterns) that you can carry through your whole event to make it pretty and consistent. For the case of this party, I found a really pretty invitation from Printastic Design on Etsy that I used to inspire my party. I ended up creating the paper products on my own with Illustrator, and using my favorite online printer (the best prices I have found online, plus quick turnaround, and always great quality), UPrinting. But I loved this design on Etsy, especially the blue and green color scheme.

Rock and roll birthday decorations and rock star party supplies

rock star party supplies, decorations, and printables — *Party welcome sign. Fonts used:* *Ecuyer DAX*, *Sedona Script FLF*. *Links to the party printables are below.*

The party color scheme was blue and green, with imagery of electric guitars. Most of the party décor was in the form of signs and posters (see links to the printables at the end of this post).

rock star party supplies and decorations — *Keep Calm and Rock On posters in the party’s color scheme lined the hall.*

rock star party supplies (decorations for a rock and roll birthday) — *Inspired by* *this stone sign, I created a paper “It’s Only Rock n’ Roll But I Like It” sign for décor using the event colors and a free Circus or Carnival style font.*

Rock and roll themed party food ideas

rock and roll themed party food ideas — *Instead of buying custom water bottle labels, I used a trick I saw on Pinterest of using patterned duct tape around the bottles, then stickers I printed with some of the party theme.*

rock and roll birthday party food — Homemade Rice Krispies Treat Pops. Popsicle sticks and ribbon came from the craft store. I followed the usual recipe for the Rice Krispies Treats, then cut them into cubes using a pizza cutter. After inserting the sticks, I dipped them into melted blue candy coating (also from the craft store), then dipped into sprinkles. I let chill overnight so the treats and the candy coating could set. These were a big hit, and were much easier to make than cake pops.

rock star party supplies — DIY toppers were easy to make. I purchased guitar die-cuts in the party’s color scheme from eBay (you can make them yourself if you have a Cricut), added a white star punch, then hot glued them to toothpicks. Voila!
