  Is your teen ready to be the next American Idol?

  
  
  

  

  
  
  Let me tell you what I know about the show.

  It debuted on June 11, 2002, and it has since become one of the most popular shows on television. The show seeks to discover the best singer in the country through a series of nationwide auditions.

  The outcomes of the later stages of this competition are determined by public voting by phone. The format features four judges who give critiques of the contestants' performances.

  Okay, so we're clear on the shows purpose?

  Let's do it!
  
  This is what you will need: Choose what works for your type of party and budget.

  Entryway

  You may want to make an American Idol sign and hang it in the doorway of the room where the party is going to be or at the front door.

  Also at the front door you can have a life size cut-out of host Ryan Seacrest.

  If you'd like, a fun idea is to hand out press passes that say:

  Welcome to American Idol

  Hosted by Ryan Seacrest

  and starring your next American Idol...(Your teen's name)
  
  Your place cards can be ballots, if your child will be competing for the spot, put all the contestant's names on the ballot, if not, every box should be your teens name!

  If you will be having a buffet, highly recommended, put the ballots out on a table with a sign that says, vote for your next Idol here!
