1980's birthday party ideas?

Question

hi..we are throwing my best friend a 1980's bday party...we have a few good ideas but we are having a very hard time w/ decorations...any ideas would be appreciated...music is pretty much taken care of..and it will be held in a bar not a club so we can't run movies or anything like that..HELP please

thanks

Answer 1

Check out 'I love the 80's' on VH1 website.  Get decorations from Party City or Party America or similar party supply store.  I too would suggest neon colors.  How about giant record decorations, music notes, and lots of streamers?  How about giving guests accessories....bangle bracelets for women, etc...If you're going to have a table, get a fun tablecloth at a party store...they should have something you can use.  How about putting Etch a Sketch's, rubik's cubes (like suggestion from person below), Lite Brite that says "1980's" or something like that.  You could always get mini posters of 80's movies and frame them and put them on the tables.

Answer 2

Hope these help.

Answer 3

Neon decorations as neon colors were "so cool."

Posters of stars and musicians from the 80's (depending of course on whether your friend is male or female)

You should definitely have Rubik's cubes on hand (maybe the center pieces).

Have fun!
