"Glee" Teen Party

My daughter and I love watching Glee together, so when it came time to plan her 13th birthday party, Glee was her clear choice. Our first order of business was making plain invitations look party specific. We decided to splatter the front of some paper invitations with watercolors, so it looked like slushie splatter. Purple, Orange, and Red looked convincingly like Grape, Orange and Cherry slushie stains. So cute. These were a big hit and everyone came to the party!

Another big hit was the Glee inspired food... cafeteria style! Served in aluminum baking trays.
Rachel Berry Salad - berry/fruit cup
Tots - tater tots
Cheerios - Cheerio/marshmallow crispy treats
Grilled "Cheesus" - grilled cheese sandwiches
Bread Stix - garlic bread sticks
Veggies - we needed something healthy... carrot & celery sicks
Big Quench - grape slushies (Rachel's favorite) I made these in my ice cream maker using a mixture of grape Kool-aid, lemonade and Sierra Mist
Puck's Cupcakes - vanilla with red frosting

For decorations, we used the red & white WMHS school colors and decorated the dining room (a.k.a. the cafeteria) with streamers and poster board pennants. Party Activities were a Glee photo booth, Glee quiz and Wii karaoke. Red slushie party cups... perfect favors for the big Teen birthday! Complete with microphone, glow-in-the-dark stars, glee gum, sour patch kids, whistle, and chocolate favors.
