Nowadays theme parties in a
great trend. If you want to feel special to a person then always consider the
personality of that person before deciding the theme because you want them to
feel special on their big day! A Blast from the Past theme can be an
entertaining way to celebrate iconic elements of decades past. You can relive
some of your own past memories of days gone by or discover a whole new era for
the first time.
1930's
Party Ideas
The 1930's are considered
the Golden Age of Hollywood, so celebrate in style by having a theme-related
party. Invite your friends and family to a 1930’s Roll Back the Prices Party.
Ask friends to come in 1930’s costumes and provide classic 1930’s snacks and
appetizers. Invite guests to dress up as their favorite 1930’s actor or actress
and decorate the party room with period movie posters and gold glitter stars.
Play a game of Price is Right where you ask guests to guess the actual price of
common items in the 1930’s. Winners can receive a period-related prize such as
a Duke Ellington CD or a collection of Charlie Chan episodes on DVD. Show your
support for the beauty of the 1930's and recreate this mysteriously lovely
decade at your Halloween or Cocktail Party! If you can find real antique pieces
from the 1930's theme, that is even better. That means that your 1930's theme
party would be truly authentic, and no doubt you would want to re-use your
party supplies over and over for future parties and holidays.
1940's
Party Ideas
Wow! What a fun party theme.
This theme is my favorite as I love all the vintage clothes and the style worn
by all the guests. The 1940’s are a rich era for party inspiration. Your guests
should be encouraged to dress in period if possible in jacket and tie or
military uniform for the men's and swing dresses, WAC or Red Cross uniforms, or
a smart trouser set for the women, or how about have guests come dressed as a
favorite celebrity of that era, or a character from one of the many films that
came out during that time. And with the soft 1940's music the party will go
great and that would be big fun!
1950’s
Party Ideas
The Decade parties are also
great ideas for 50th and 60th birthdays. If it is a 50th birthday party, you
may plan for a fabulous fifties (1950's) themed party and for a 60th birthday,
have a psychedelic sixties party.
Ask your guests to dress in decade appropriate
clothing. For decoration you may use movie posters, guitars, roller skates, vintage
home appliances and colors associated with the particular decade. You could
even play games like Hula Hoop. The most important aspect of a decade party is
the music. You should have mix CD's with songs just from that decade playing.
You could even consider having a Karaoke machine with songs from a particular
period.
1960’s
Party Ideas
The 1960′s represented a
time of change, introducing a whole new culture that was centered on taking
political action in order to fight for the rights of everyone as well as
enjoying the freedom of being an individual. Additionally, the 1960′s began to
introduce new ways of eating food by making them convenient, rock n’ roll music
was expanding and becoming more accepted and thus popular, and the hippie
generation began as everyone celebrated the end of the war and thus focused on
the importance of a peaceful nation. Imagine how fun an Accent Wall will be for
your guests as they get to view the many highlights of the 1960′s, making it a
great addition to a 1960′s party.
Clothing style and the music of the 1960′s era were quite special! The clothes can be a Tie-Dye, Plaid Shirts/Pants, Mini Skirts, Hot Pants, Velvet Pants, Turtlenecks, A-Line Dresses, Shirt Waist Dresses with Leather Boots, Go-Go Boots, and Patent Leather Heels. Yes the music should be rock n’ roll music. For food and drinks just select the 1960′s menu.
