Gather the Squad with Cheerleading Invitations

Hosting a cheerleading theme party is a perfect and fun idea for a group of cheerful young girls! If the guest-of-honor is a cheerleader, this is a natural pick for her party. But even is she is not, she and her friends are sure to love this fun theme! 

A cute idea for invitations would be to give everyone a small, inexpensive megaphone with a computer-generated sticker on the side stating the details of the party and telling the guests to bring the megaphone with them that day for some winning spirit! Our megaphones can even be custom printed with your party details!

Make your own invitations out of heavy paper, detailing your party information. Then, glue clusters of metallic shred to the invitations to look like pom pons.

Be sure to send your invitations out 3-4 weeks in advance and expect about 25% of your invitations to R.S.V.P. as regrets. Check out all of our cheerleading party tips!

“Go! Fight! Win!” Cheerleading Party Decorations!

Give your party guests a cheerful welcome with a Hoop it Up Entrance! Set it up right outside your home or inside a large room. (It is not weather-resistant.) It will instantly get all the girls in the mood to cheer! 

Pom Poms are an easy way to create the cheerleading idea by hanging them or simply having them sit on the floor. Their presence will be a sure hit! 

If you don’t want to buy real pom pons, you can make your own using crepe streamers. Cut many strips of about 14 inches long and tie them together in the middle with a small piece of string. Pull and fluff the streamers to make them fluffy like pom pons. 

Hang pennants around the party area for a splash of color. You choose from our variety of pennants, or make your own out of construction paper. Cut the paper into long triangles and write the names of each guest on them. Glue them onto a small dowel rod and use them as adorable placecards on your party table.

Don’t forget about balloons! They are a simple but effective way to create a festive atmosphere for any occasion or any theme. Choose the birthday girl’s favorite colors for your balloons, fill them with helium, and tie them on each chair.

You could buy several styrofoam letters and spray paint them in vibrant colors. Arrange the letters to state “GO, FIGHT, WIN” and “GO TEAM” and hang them on the wall.

Cover your tables with our paper tablecovers and jazz them up by writing randomly all over them with a paint pen. Use words like “Let’s Go” and “Victory” to fit your theme.

On the table, be sure to have some metallic shred lying in different piles of coordinating bright colors to look like a bunch of pom pons. If your party guests all go to the same school, use the local school’s colors to pull the theme together.

Fun Activities for a Cheerleading Party

Ideally for your cheerleading party, your activity will be cheerleading. See if a local squad or just a few memebers can come over and teach you how to cheer. Practice easy stunts, cheers and dance routines.

Another option is to watch a cheerleading movie, such as Bring it On. Plus, there are plenty of fun party games to play!

Chubby Bunny.
All you need is marshmallows and several willing victims…uh, contestants. Each contestant stuffs a marshmallow in his/her mouth and says “Chubby Bunny” (you could have them say something else - like “Go Panthers!”). They repeat this until only one person is left who can actually say the slogan with all the marshmallows in his/her mouth!

The Knot
Stand in a small circle, shoulder to shoulder and close your eyes. First, everyone reaches in their left hand and grabs someone elses hand. Then, still holding left hands, repeat with right hands. Now everyone will be holding hands with two other people (if both hands you’re holding belong to the same person that’s okay too.) Open your eyes. Try to unravel the knot you’ve created by holding hands so that everyone will be standing in an untwisted circle, holding hands. This is a good team builder and a challenging, but fun game.

Murder
Everyone sits in a circle. Choose one person to be a detective and another to be the killer. Make sure the detective is out of sight and ear-shot when you choose the killer. When the detective returns, the killer starts killing others by winking to victims. If you are a subtle killer the detective will have a hard time figuring it out. Take turns being the detective and the killer.
