I need any ideas for an 80's prom birthday party.?

Question

I am throwing an 80's prom party for my best friend who is turning 30, I need decorating ideas, and any other ideas you might have.

Answer 1

You should have a vote for prom king and queen and then announce it at the end of the night. That would be a blast. You should also have someone "spiking" the punch. The music is a no brainer. Pick a really great theme that would have been a prom theme in the 80s.... like... I dont know, I was 10 in the 80s, but I am sure you can ask someone what their prom theme was back then!

Answer 2

How about a Disco theme ?  or Punk ?

What were you guys into in the 80's ??

Answer 4

I have an 80s party every year and they are so fun!!!!

well...you need everyone to dress up in 80s style- have a contest for best dressed during the party, have all the guests vote for their favorite and have a special prize for the winner (maybe two just in case of a tie) like a good 80s movie like Goonies, Top Gun, 16 Candles..whatever!

play 80s trivia- they have a Trivial Pursuit 80s edition and I've seen lots of other ones in the stores like DVD ones.

play all 80s music- download a bunch or go to Best Buy, they have mix CDs of all the hits form the 80s. you could even burn a mix of her favs to give out as party favors to the guests- make a cool cover about it being her "Like Totally 80s Birthday Bash!" or whatever!

have a 80s dance off competition or break dancing competition

have a 80s karaoke contest

get posters of 80s movies or big hair bands of the 80s to use as decorations. get neon balloons and streamers to decorate. maybe some cardboard cut outs of 80s movie characters. make big cardboard Rubiks cubes as decorations...maybe a balloon drop towards the end of the party like they'd do at a prom.

you could have the guests bring a picture of themselves form the 80s- most dorkiest picture gets a special prize maybe- you pick the winner. put them all up on a 80s wall of shame for all the party go-ers to admire!

you can get a cake made of some type of 80s character like My Little Pony or She-Ra or even Pac Man or something.

ohhh....maybe you can find some type of old video games to play like Pacman , they have those ones that plug right into a TV....anything from the old Atari games..or maybe some old board games you could have out at different tables to keep people entertained.

Have a great party!!!
