Rock Star Limo Party

Want a kid’s birthday party idea that totally rocks? Rent a limousine to drive everyone around for a celebrity-style celebration! While this may seem costly, it can actually be less expensive than booking a venue like a gaming lounge or bowling alley. To truly, “party like a rock star,” give your event a musical theme like Hannah Montana or High School Musical.

Rock Star Treatment

I’ve been in more high-end limos for kid’s birthday parties than adult affairs! Sure, it’s a decadent idea for a kid’s party, but everyone always has a blast from the parent chaperones to the budding rocks stars.

Renting the Limo

Go for ultra-luxury and maximum room for your limo party by hiring a stretch SUV model. These models will cost more than the standard stretch, but it’s worth it!

Expect to pay an hourly rate, a 2-hour or more minimum with some companies, and 20% gratuity on top of all that. Ask the limo company a few things when considering them for hire:

• Client references

• The “back-up” plan if there’s car trouble

• Have they ever done a kid’s party before and what tips can they pass along

Guests will get a real taste of the glamorous life if the limo picks everyone up at their front door. Let parents know what their child’s anticipated pick-up time is and request that the parents come to your home to get their child when the party’s over.

Pimp Your Ride

Let everyone know about your party on wheels by decorating the limo. First, check with the limo company to see how far you can go with the bling. Then, go to town with these ideas to pimp your ride:

• Magnetic bumper stickers

• Window decals

• Car flag

• Cool throw pillows

• Music CDs or DVDs if your car has a player

Limo Gifts

Get the party started the second guests enter the limo by giving limo gifts (a.k.a. party favors) like these items:

 

• “VIP” or party theme dog tag necklaces

• Cool Temporary Tattoos

• Travel Games

• Sunglasses

• Grab bag of party favors

Mobile Munchies

A really fun idea for a limo party is to take the car through a fast food drive-thru. Imagine the look on patron’s faces and the laughs in the car.

This venture takes a little research, as your limo’s height and turn radius have to be taken into consideration. Ask the limo company for local suggestions and research this on your own as well.

Another idea is to snack in the limo and then eat a meal at the After-Party. Keep it simple with pizza delivery.

For drinks, pack a few small coolers with juice, soda, and bottled water for the guests to grab during the ride.

After-Party

What’s a rock star party without singing? After the limo drops everyone off at the party host’s home, let the musical theme really kick in with karaoke and cake.

Pick the music theme of the moment and go wild with plates, cups, and decorations in the karaoke room. Check out these party products for Hannah Montana, High School Musical, and American Idol.

Rent a karaoke machine with a couple of Hannah Montana Microphones or buy the equiment for your birthday rock star. Set everything up in advance so the kids can come right in and sing.

Props, such as inflatable guitars and instruments along with light-up boas and tinsel wigs, always add to the performances. And, don’t forget a selection of karaoke CDs.

The kids will be so hyped from the limo ride that you may have to insist that they pause for birthday cake and a group sing-along of “Happy Birthday.” Then give them back the microphone and let them wail!
