Hip Hop Club Party

A Hip Hop party is all about the music!  Create your own Hip Hop club with this party theme and you've got the perfect Sweet 16, Bar or Bat Mitzvah, birthday party or other special event party!  

Hip Hop Party Invitations

Invite everyone to your club with special backstage access with a personalized backstage pass invitation.  Backstage passes are now available laminated with a black lanyard, so your guests can wear them to the big event!  We will also include a white padded envelope to mail these special passes! 

Or, use a fabulous custom Hip Hop theme caricature invitation your guests will love.  Have the celebrant standing on stage at the club, surrounded by people dancing.  Or, have them as the bouncer at the entrance to the club.  The possibilities are endless with this one of a kind invitation.  (You can then use the art for a great centerpiece for your party)

Hip Hop Party Decorations

Greet your guests with a lifesize cutout of the guest of honor dressed in Hip Hop gear.  Give everyone a personalized camera to take pictures of themselves standing next to the cutout.  It will make a great favor!

Give each guest who enters a sequin hat or pimp hat to wear at the party.  You'll get great pictures with them in their hip hop gear!

A great sign in for this area is a graffiti wall.  Put out Sharpie markers in as many colors as you can find and a large piece of foamcore for everyone to sign.  Make sure it has the celebrant's name on it somewhere in big handwriting.

Hang a sign by the doors with the club name and "No Entry without Backstage Passes!"  Hopefully your guests remembered their invitations!  Have someone (big!) man the door wearing a dark suit, sunglasses and holding a list of everyone who was invited.  You could even rent velvet ropes and have your bouncer stop people every once in a while as a joke.  Or, have a lifesize cutout of a bouncer with a speech bubble greeting your guests.

This party is best with a DJ or someone great to play the music.  If you've hired a DJ, see if they can bring a large screen to play videos during the party.  Along with music videos, many are able to have a live feed of the party action showing on the screens during the party.  People will love seeing themselves dancing on the big screen!  The screen is a fun add on and doubles as cool decor! 

For a larger party, hire a lighting company or ask your DJ about special lighting for the party.  Turn the lights down and wash the walls in color.  It will really enhance the club feel.  Want to go really crazy?  Have them change out the lights for black lights and watch as everything white in the room glows. 

For an old school look, hang old records from the ceiling.  You can get them in bulk at many thrift stores for little money.

Centerpieces and Table Decorations

The Show Daddy and Bling Hats make great, easy centerpieces with balloons coming out of the tops.  We love a centerpiece that can be used as a donation at the end of the party.  How about getting boom box radios for each table and donating them to a local special needs home?  You can tie balloons off the top of the radios.  They'll look very "hip" on the table!

If you're ready to go all out, talk to a local party supply rental company about glow tables.  They are new and very cool and your guests will go NUTS for them! 

Bling necklaces or silver chain necklaces make great napkin rings.  And, you know these won't get tossed!  Put a different one at each place and I bet your guests will choose their seat based on the necklace they like the best!  Too much?  Put a glow bracelet around all the napkins and the room with light up!

A club theme party is obviously NOT a sit down party.  You can forget the centerpieces and larger tables and have high top tables around the room.  Have food stations or a buffet and let your guests eat whenever and wherever they want!  They might be so busy dancing, that they forget to eat! 

Hip Hop Party Games

Dance Contest - Your DJ can lead this game.  Have them play classics like Grandmaster Flash and LL Cool J and more current hip hop music.  As your guests "break it down," the DJ can tap people on the shoulder and ask them to sit down.  That last man (or woman!) dancing, wins!

Lip sync/Karaoke Contest - Sing or lip sync (mouth the words along with the music) to your favorite Hip Hop tunes. Prize goes to the best act.

Hip Hop Party Favors

The perfect Hip Hop party favor is a personalized CD complete with 8-10 songs of your choice and a personalized CD cover. 

No Hip Hop party is complete without the following. You don't have to do it all, but you have to do some. 

• Glow jewelry-- Glow jewelry will light up your guests and your party!
• Inflatable Microphones--for anyone who wants to do their best Hip Hop imitation.
• Gold & Silver Grillz - great fun!

So, bust a move and gather all your friends for a great Hip Hop dance party.
