Ok, so dds birthday is in October. Her theme is "party like a rockstar"
Her colors are pink, black, and silver.

She will want to invite children from her class. Should I send the invites to the school? Should it be coed, or just the girls?

How soon do I send out the invites? The invites will be a concert ticket with party info, and a trifold with a cd in the middle, with two "rockstar" photos of dd on the other sides. So, we will obviously bee enough time to take pictures.

I normally just do family parties, Because I am very awkward around other peoples children. She really wants to invite the kids from her school, though. So... Help!

I'd send them with her in her folder or whatever to give to her teacher to give to the students. That's what we do in prek anyway. Invite everyone! I would do at least 2 weeks if not a month in advance if possible. We had the party at a park, but it may be cool in october. i was nervous around the other parents too. it's a richer community and we just really dont have a lot of money, or as much as they do. or drive nice cars like they do (like escalades and such). dh and i are also at least 10 yrs younger than all the parents. a lil awkward but everyone is nice!

good luck! :)

Letting the teacher hand them out is a good idea. What about a jumper, do you think? Yay, or nay? I'm struggling to come up with good themed games that are coed.

We will be having a 4 ft tall pink and blak guitar piñata. I will be putting bedazzled shades, tattoos, rhinestone bracelets, guitar picks, an little knick knacks in the goody bags. My husband teaches music, and we will also be having a raffle for a guitar lesson with dh and dd (worth $50). What else can we do?

What is a jumper?

I love the pinata idea! And the raffle is great too! Honestly I think that is plenty. You could probably do musical chairs to rock n roll music

 I would call the school first and see their policy on invites. I know at my children's school you are not allowed to send birthday invites to school. You must buy a class directory and call the parents and everything.

I'd invite the entire class. Sounds like fun! My dd would love that.

Hi:


I would get pink, silver and black dye, white tee shirts and rubber bands and have each dye in a bucket so the kids can tye dye their shirts and take them home.  We did this at a camp and let the kids go at their own pace.  You might want to change up the colors as black could ruin the shirt.  Have fun
