A Rock Star party leaves the door open to many movies that can be played at the event. It can have the atmosphere of a rock concert, with colored lights occasionally flashing, and a sort of bleacher effect set up in the media room for the teens or tweens to view the movies that are chosen.

There are rock operas that can be a choice, but they are generally rated for older teens, such as “Tommy,” “Quadraphenia,” or “The Wall.” So be sure to have the appropriate movies for the right age teens.

If you encourage your guests to dress as rock stars to your party, you might find that they can be quite the fashionistas. They might surprise you with garb they would not otherwise wear, and that in itself can be very entertaining for all. Be sure to take lots of pictures. You might even have several items of clothing for those who do not participate in this, such as hippie headbands, glittery t-shirts, lacy gloves, big hoop earrings, or other costume accessories. Have a box for them to choose what they would like to add to their outfits. Include some wigs, and you will have a great time even before the movie action starts.

Although buckets of popcorn would be a great idea for the movie event, buckets of chicken might also be smart. Teenagers get hungry, and the more they have in the way of an assortment of good foods, the happier they will be.

If you have a karaoke machine, you can have a contest using rock songs. Don’t be surprised if you discover a few hams among your bunch of friends. As a party favor item, a fake microphone for each would be great. You might even include inexpensive flutes, play guitars, and drums, and see what kind of jam session occurs. There are lots of ways to make your rock star party really rock.
