How to Host a Music-Themed Ice Cream Party

Ice Creams are all about fun, laughter, and celebrations! They are a reflection of life’s sweetest moments that we wish to cherish in the form of our favorite memories, and do you know what else feels the same way? That’s right, music. If ice cream is what melts our hearts, then music is what it dances to through the rhythm of life. Just like there are songs you can pair with the special moments of your life, ice cream can go perfectly well with any celebration. So today, we decided to make a special blend just for you- what happens when ice cream, music, and an occasion for celebration come together?- A Party like never before!

If this is the inspiration that you were looking for to host a music-themed, out-of-the-world ice cream party in the windy streets of Chicago, we are here to help! In this blog, we will guide you through every step of the process to consider when planning a music-themed party with the best ice cream in Chicago IL.

Beginning with 'The List'

‘The List’ comes first—the guest list—the one around which all of your decisions will revolve. Once you have an event to start planning for, the first step you should take is to clarify how many guests you are inviting and approximately how many guests and family members you are expecting at your event. Consider whether there are any particular preferences among your guests that you need to talk to your ice cream truck vendor about. Divide the list based on adults and children. This will clarify numerous things, like the venue and the budget.

Plan Out A Budget

Once you know how many guests you have to leave awestruck with the best musical party in the city, get on with the main stuff. You will only know how much you can afford to spend on the various parts of the party if you plan a proper budget. Therefore, you must create a budget and divide it according to the various aspects of the event. For instance, create separate budget plans for the venue, ice cream vendor, music system or live band/artist, decorations, etc. After you are done assigning your budget according to your needs, you will have more freedom and clarity about your planning.

Decide A Theme

Music is a huge theme that can have many sub-themes depending upon the mood and style you are willing to go for. What genre or time will you pick up for your celebration? Will it be the classic Rock ‘n Roll, Disco Dancers, Underground Hip-Hop, or do you want to vibe with the more popular songs currently trending on reels? Are you Swiftie, a stan, or a metalhead? What musical genre will be the core of your party? Perhaps you love to listen to the sweet old Summer of 69’ or dance to the chill with a beer with your friends while listening to Hotel California, or maybe you wanna ditch all that and dance like crazy to the favorite mixes of your local DJ.

Make A Playlist

So, now that you have a theme, you either have to make a playlist or contact a live musician to play at your event. Making a playlist will help you get everything in order while you can focus on the other aspects of the party.  If you’re opting for live music, make sure to coordinate with the band or DJ so that their setlist matches the mood you want to create for different moments of the event. Don’t forget to include popular sing-alongs or nostalgic hits that everyone knows, as these can help you create a fun, exciting, and lively event.

Book Your Ice Cream Truck Chicago IL

With the music all set and ready, we need to progress to the next part of the party— Booking an ice cream truck. Big Bros Ice Cream has been serving the streets of Chicago and nearby suburbs with delicious, premium-quality ice creams. When it comes to events, we prepare our truck thoroughly, ensure quality checks on all our products and make sure we have enough to serve up all of your guests with yummy treats all throughout the event.

Well, now the ice cream and music are both set, it’s time to decide on a venue and use the magic of decorations to bring your theme to life. Use decorations that go with your musical theme and taste.  You could go back in time to the ’90s era, where grunge ruled the airwaves and oversized flannels were the trend, or take it even further to the swinging ’50s, where guests could jive to the beats in classic poodle skirts and leather jackets. Whatever you choose, remember to have a lot of fun! Make sure you make all the bookings a few months before the event so that there are no last-minute rush or booking issues.
