iCarly Party Ideas

Do your tweens love the latest show on Nickelodeon, iCarly? It’s one of the hippest, most tech-savvy TV shows around that combines acting with viewer content! Carly, the main character, produces her own web-based show called “iCarly” with her friends. She is smart and gets very good grades, is innovative with her webcast, and is famous, although she never lets it go to her head—all wonderful attributes for any tween/teen! This is a great show to build an innovative theme around for a 13th birthday party.

Check out these ideas:

A fun iCarly party invitation would be one that is tech-savvy! Send an e-mail invitation to your guests with a recorded message from the birthday kid. This invitation is eco-friendly, cutting edge, and fun … just like Carly!

iCarly partyware hasn’t been released yet, but you can buy bright and bold colored balloons, streamers, confetti, and more.

The main activity of your party will be creating your own webcast! Create a set for a show that the birthday kid and her guests will develop together, and provide them with a video camera. The show can combine dancing, singing, skits, discussing topics of interest, etc. Whatever the kids are interested in taping is the way to go! If you have time, the kids can try their hand at video editing and downloading/copying their show onto DVDs. (This may be a bit boring for the entire group, so this part can be done after the party if you want.) At the very least, play back the webcast either on the computer or piped through the TV for fun.

If your guests want to do something crafty, have them create clay sculptures like Carly’s brother Spencer likes to do. Any type of modeling clay can be used, and these masterpieces can be taken home as the party favor.

You can also find party inspiration from the latest episodes of iCarly:

• How long can your webcast go for? Carly tries to go for a full day. How long is yours?
• Spencer tries to help sell fudge to impress. Make a batch of your own birthday fudge!
• Carly, Sam, and Spencer love pie. Serve a favorite pie at your party.
• Spencer consults a magic meatball to make decisions. Make your own magical item, and have the guests ask it for advice.
• Put on your favorite dance videos and dance the party away like Carly and her friends do.
• Freddie and Sam make a bet that involves getting a tattoo on their faces. Apply temporary tattoos to your guests’ faces.
• Play a game of iCarly triva.

Serve any of your birthday kid’s favorite foods, such as pizza, nachos, or snack chips. Don’t forget the pie and fudge!

Send the guests home with a DVD of their webcast and the clay sculptures they created. If the DVDs are not ready when the guests depart, send them with the thank you notes as a great party memento!
