Need "Rock Star" b-day party food & game ideas
Adam's party is Saturday and he wants a "Rock N Roll" birthday. We got decorations & will set up a makeover station w/ fake tattoos, colored hairspray, etc. I ordered him a cake with a fondant Gene Simmons sitting on it. (He dressed as him for Halloween - this kid is not your avg. 3 year old.)
I'm at a loss for food. The party starts at 2, so people probably won't be hungry for a meal when they arrive, but it's all friends and family, so people could very well stay into dinner time and would need something more filling then. I'm going to get a tray of Chick-Fil-A nuggets and am blanking on anything else. It'd be great to think of something to fit the theme, but really I'm looking for heavy appetizers that I could order somewhere or easily make, I guess.
And, since it's going to be 42 freaking degrees and not warm enough for inflating out bouncy house, I need ideas to keep the kids busy too. Adam picked out a cheesy guitar trophy thing and wants to give it to "the winner." Of what, he has no idea. Any ideas for a game that would have a winner? There'll be 15 kids ranging from 1-7 here.
TIA

What about a dance contest or karaoke? It might be a little chaotic since the kids are kind of young, but I think that could make it fun and cute too.
I'm drawing a blank on food ideas...What about cookies (or other round foods) made to look like records or CDs?
Just a couple ideas....what about getting some various glitter, glue, crafty stuff and having kids decorate those cardboard stars (that are shiny gold or silver) I have seen them at Party City. You could put the kids names on them and they would look like the stars they put on musicians dressing rooms.
Kareoke or a dance party could be fun, perhaps an air guitar contest?
For foods maybe just get a start cookie cutter and make little star shaped finger sandwiches?
DH suggested letting them snort pixie sticks. Maybe when he's 4...
LOL This is hilarious!

Dawson's first birthday - at the zoo
DS went to a rock n roll party last year that was really fun. They did the tatoos, hair dye, etc too which the kids loved. The invites were a CD of the birthday boy's favorite songs and they played that at the party. Each of the kids got a blow up guitar and microphone and they made a stage to sing and dance on.
Tye-dyed or "autographed" t-shirts would be fun.
