June 1st will be here before you know it. It’s time to shift into gear for your Ice Road Truckers party. Questions to be considering now:
Hey fellow truckers... I contacted my local Albertsons and they agreed to make a sheet cake of snow and icy road and I will be putting a semi truck in the middle of it. Gonna be a white cake with yummy filling! Gonna put numbers in a bowl and then as guests come in, they are gonna draw one, hang on to it until the preview is over and we'll have a door prize drawing for all the cool things we got to share with everyone! Lots of good food, yummy cold slushies or drinks and awesome company!
Is everybody loving those great bumper stickers as much as me? I can't wait to pass them out!!! LOL
Weather is going to be beautiful, so we are moving the TV outside and gonna fire up the grill, grab some cold ones and watch the action!!!
swest72766.. We are grilling ribs too!! Guests are bringing side dishes. My whole family is so excited about this houseparty since we all watch Ice Road Truckers together. It is so nice to have a party ehrtr everyone (including the children) will participating. GO ICE ROAD TRUCKERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We have the goody bags made(gas cards,little wooden trucks that I made into flower pots,plus what we got from houseparty,etc.) and most of the food and menu bought and planned(frozen drinks,grilling ribs and steaks,with all the sides and snacks for watching the show),along with the decorations,everyone is getting more and more excited,I can't wait!
My guests are all bringing covered dishes. I put hot wheels semi trucks and ice tray molds (ice trays that make ice in cool shapes) in the goody bags. My daughter (16) is a born grilling prodigy, so she is grilling out the meat. If it doesn't rain, we're moving the tv outside, maybe to the bed of my truck like a backwards drive-in--movie in the truck instead of us watching from the bed of the truck lol
moverandshaker.. I watched the DVD this morning. I was surprised that we didn't get to see the first episode.. I am so anxious for the Ice Road Truckers next season to start. I am having a dinner party. Pork Tenderloin as the main course. I am serving Baked Alaska for dessert!
In my invitation, I told people to bring dishes related to the show - ice related things I plan to make snow cones for dessert. It's going to be fun!
WOOooWhOOooo..Were going out to a farm in Adams County.. We have farm parties out there twice a year.. so one is including this ice road truckers party...Were grillin' of coarse & were settin up the 52"plasma big screen in a truck.. it's just an old rusted up semi box that's been sittin out there for years..Who knows how long.. & were going to play the dvd over & over.. It'll be awesome..
Lots of Ice Cold Beer to go around! Finger foods and BBQ to go with it. We ha ve a good sized crowd all geared up for the premier.
Just got a brand new 37" Visio LCD...IRT is gonna look SWEET on it!
kornchic79.. your party sounds like fun!! We are doing a trivia game also, but we made questions based on the ice road. I started making ice road signs to put in the party room. (I got the info on the internet.. so the signs are copies of actual road signs seen on or near and ice road) I am making a cake that looks like a semi truck. It's going to be so big that I'm using my 8" cake pans for the wheels! All of my guests are bringing a dish.. while I will be serving appetizers.. nachos, chicken tenders, and of course, shrimp cooked on the grill with different sauces. We will have snowcones to eat while watching the DVD.
My guy drives semi so he will have his tractor home for guests to see and look over. We shall have brats and burgers and any goodies others will bring.
We are serving truck stop food- hot dogs, nachos, popcorn, twinkies, etc and of course we will also have sno-cones! Im thinking about putting signs out at the end of my road leading up to my house saying things like "Ice road starts here -->" "Danger: Icy conditions" and "Snow chains required" LOL
We are going to get small trucks for the kiddies ..i am making a semi truck cake and of course we will have ice rocky road cream.. truckers burger delights, icy cold hot wings, and various beverages....featuring ICE beer,icy drinks and the truckers fav coffee!!
We are going to serve BBQ chicken, drinks in our can cozies, and ice cream pie for dessert! Can't wait!
I just recieved my package!! WOOHHOO lots of goodies, but the t-shirt is too small so my daughter wants it LOL I guess she gets it now lol. Cant wait to watch the DVD
golden, I am hungry now, lol! I plan on serving up up BBQ ribs, terriyaki burgers with mushrooms, corn on the cob, macncheez, and potato salad. I have a ball that the kids can kick around and it makes homemade ice cream, so we will have some homemade strawberry ice cream afterwards! I am thinking about getting an ice cream cake as well. I am having t-shirts printed up to look like the ones we received in our kit. I am picking up toy trucks for all the little kids. I am getting a remote control semi as a door prize. A friend and I made up a trivia game to play before we watch the sneek peek. Whoever gets the most right gets a $50 gas gift card and a new cooler! I am getting my uncle to bring his semi over so the kids can climb around in there and have their pictures taken behind the wheel and get to go for a ride!

We will be having snowcones/Iceys/slushys. It is an Ice Road Truckers party after all. ;) This is always a hit and you can feel safe using it as an activity for kids old enough to pour from a gallon of milk. We let kids come up with their own flavor mixtures and shake them up. There is always a snow cone making table set up by the pool when we BBQ. I think the flavor concocting and mixing them up is as fun for the kids as eating them. This cheap and fun activity is always a winner. I posted my snow cone syrup recipe in the resource section. http://www.houseparty.com/resources/view/1941
