A few Friday nights ago was my lip sync battle themed 30th birthday party. To say it was fun would be an understatement. Of course in all the excitement I didn't take the time to take proper pictures of the set up (just me and my friends rocking it out), but I still wanted to share with you what I did to pull off this fun party.
First things first, most importantly you need music! What I did was have as many friends as possible give me the songs they planned to sing at the party and created a YouTube playlist but I also left it open for friends to sign up for songs the night of since many of them saw how much fun it was and wanted to participate.
I was lucky enough that I had a friend who was a DJ and I borrowed her equipment for the party BUT there are so many other options if you don't have DJ equipment or want to spend the money on a DJ. For example, speakers like this one project amazing sound as well and can be set up for Bluetooth so you can just use your phone!
The next important item on your list is props. You can't have a lip sync battle without microphones (I purchased a pack of
toy ones off of amazon) but you also need fun props for your lip-syncers and the crowd to have too. I went to the dollar store and just walked around and grabbed random items like bead necklaces, glow stick bracelets, glow stick clappers,
noisemakers, crowns ,
feather boas and so much more. I also purchased a 12 pack of sunglasses for everyone to grab while performing or taking pictures.
The biggest hits of the night were definitely the glow stick hand clappers I bought from the dollar store. If you can't find them, these would work out good too, since my friends just seem to like to make noise. I encouraged everyone to grab some kind of noisemaker at the start of the evening and made sure to make noise after each lip-syncer went so that everyone encouraged everyone else on.
Lastly, what's a party without party favors? Everyone got one of
these party favors, because everyone participated, those who chose not to lip sync got to be the judges to determine who won
the award that I bought for the winner, which wasn't the greatest of awards but it was still pretty fantastic.
Throw in some good food and drinks, fun friends, and good music and I promise you will have the best lip sync party ever!
