"Looking for coolest Tony Hawk party ideas?
We've got it ALL here!"

Teen boys aren't the easiest crowd to please, but with plenty of good food and a theme like Tony Hawk as your guide, you can throw a party that they'll flip their boards for.

Invitations

Get skaters to the party on time with one of these teenage party ideas for invitations.

• On black cardstock, paint a rough version of "It's off the hook!" on the front. On the back, invite guests to "Jam with Tony Hawk at an awesome skateboard party!" List date, time, and location.
• If you have pictures of the guests, or can discretely take them before the party, make copies of a picture of a skateboarder in action and cut out guests' faces to cover the heads on the pictures. Attach to cardstock and write "Catch some air at a Tony Hawk Boom Boom HuckJam party!" Scrawl time, date, and location across the bottom.
• Cut out a skateboard shape from cardstock. Draw the Boom Boom HuckJam logo on the front, and then add the party time, date, and location on the back in graffiti or urban-style print.

Decorations

Announce your party with a Tony Hawk's boom boom huckjam personalized birthday banner. With two lines of 21 characters each, the list of possibilities is nearly endless. To reuse banner in the future, consider a generic message such as "Skate Party."

Cover the walls with bulletin board paper that looks like a brick or concrete wall. Use spray paint to write the boys' names on the wall in graffiti style. If you're artistic, try to recreate the Boom Boom HuckJam logo on the "wall" put it on a separately on a black background with white spray paint. (Note: You may want to do the spray painting outdoors if possible. Allow paint to dry before bringing paper indoors).

Scatter Tony Hawk Foam Hand around the room, attaching them to the walls or using them as table center pieces. Send them home after the party as fun keepsakes. Accent the décor with matching red, black, and white balloons.

You may not be able to put a real ramp in the party room, but a giant cardboard version will be almost as fun. Build it ahead of time, or let guests put these teenage party ideas into action. Create several large sheets of cardboard by disassembling appliance boxes. For the upright part of the ramp, tape the cardboard to the edge of a table or window ledge. Trace and cut the sides out and put them in place, taping the ramp down to create the curve. Repeat on the other side for a half pipe. Let Tony Hawk party guests decorate with paint or wide tip markers.

For the table, purchase Tony Hawk Party Supplies with the Boom Boom HuckJam theme on them.

Choose from 7" or 9" plates, cups, napkins, and placemats. Solid color coordinating party ware is also available, including cutlery, divided dinner plates, and table covers. Add a Tony Hawk party centerpiece for the finishing touch.

To keep the boys entertained while they eat, consider playing Tony Hawk's Boom Boom HuckJam North America Tour DVD.

Costumes

A good skater won't go far without his board, so get the creative juices flowing with a little board design with these boy's teenage party ideas. Have a piece of thin, flexible luan plywood (available from home improvement stores) cut into the shape of a skateboard deck on hand for each teen. (Cardboard would also work as an alternative).

Before the party, spray it with primer and allow it to dry. Set out paint, paintbrushes, and stickers for the boys to design, paint, and decorate their boards with. Take pictures of them posing with the finished product.

Food

Teenage boys need a lot of drink to wash down all of the food they'll eat! Consider these teenage party ideas:

• Bottled sports drinks -- Chill them on ice in coolers if possible.
• Tony Hawk sports bottle – With a big 25 oz capacity, these water bottles will make anything seem cool!

Serve up some serious grindage with these teenage party ideas.

• Pizza – You can't go wrong with a giant pie (or three). Don't expect leftovers in a hungry crowd!
• Nachos – Pile them high with salsa, cheese, olives, jalapenos, sour cream, and chicken or beef.
• Party Subs – These three or four foot long sandwiches are perfect for the boys! Order them from a sandwich shop or deli, or make your own.
• Chicken wings – Serve hot wings with a cool buffalo dipping sauce.

When the food runs out, there's always cake! Try one of these skater-inspired designs.

• Cupcakes are fast and easy when you top each one with a Wheel Yo-Yo. Simple place one on top of store-bought or homemade cupcakes and serve.
• Feature a skateboarder at your Tony Hawk party with a Tony Hawk boom boom huckjam cake toppers set. Bake a sheet cake or layer cake and ice in party theme colors of red, black, and white. Place the skateboard ramp and skater cake topper on the cake.
• This is a cake that even a novice can easily take on! Begin with a sheet cake and cover it with white icing. Next, use a toothpick to sketch out a skateboard outline, and then fill it in completely with black icing. After that, use a flat tip with a decorator bag to draw the Tony Hawk Boom Boom HuckJam logo on the surface of the board. Next, use a large round tip to add the 3D trucks and wheels. Finally, switch to red icing to add the trim around the edges of the cake.

Party Favors

Tony Hawk's Boom Boom HuckJam favor boxes are full of teenage party ideas that skaters will love! Each easy-to-assemble box comes complete with a glo stick, Pop Rocks, a laser spinner, skateboard key chain, and tattoo. The Boom Boom HuckJam sticker sheets, included with the favor boxes, are the perfect addition to the skateboard decks the boys made. Sticker sheets are available separately, so it'll be easy to have enough for everyone.

Thank You Notes

Score big with pictures of the guys with their self-designed skateboards! Stick to the party colors and use red or black cardstock to attach the picture, either in a folded card or on a sheet picture frame style. Accent the picture with a Boom Boom HuckJam sticker. Use puff paint to scrawl each boy's name across the border graffiti-style and let dry before delivering to guests.
