Answer 2

Definitely do a 50s theme.  You can find 45 rpm records and string them up with ribbon to hang from the ceiling.  The party good stores have a lot of 50s themed products - plates, cups, cutouts, etc.  You can hand them around the room.  Be great if you could dress in the poodle skirt costume.

Find CDs with 50s music to play during the party.  Serve simple food.  Also, "Grease" was taken place in the 50s, so you could do a them from that movie.

I have listed several websites you may want to look at that gives ideas for themes and food.

I know you mom would certainly be thrilled with a 50s party.  Let's go to the sock hop!!!!!
