Ideas for 80s theme party?

Question

I'm having an 80s theme party for my birthday. Has any one got any good ideas for decorations, outfits, music.etc? Thanks x

Answer 1

have everyone dress up in 80's outfits and play 80's music and decorate with lots of lights and colors and 80's decorations.

Madonna and cindi lauper where very popular during that time period so that's some good music you could play.

Have fun!

hope i helped!

Answer 2

There are different types of 80's themes you can do, so it depends on how much you want to narrow it down. As Zemra said, there is the Madonna/Cyndi Lauper part, or you can do a glam-rock theme (think Poison and Motley Crue and Bon Jovi) or there is the Hip-Hop aspect such as Ton-Loc or MC Hammer. I think the Glam rock would be the most fun and then be sure to have tons of that type of music with lots of animal print decorations and stuff!

Answer 3

big shoulder pads, ra-ra skirts and leg warmers over your shoes. guys should wear pinstriped shirts and red braces.

Answer 4

Morrisons do a cheap 80's music cd for about 3.99, with lots of hits that you will just want to dance and sing!!!

Lots of party nibbles, plenty of booze!!!  Streamers some disco lights if you cant afford them cheap flashing christmas ones!!!

You can wear what you like flares, big shoes, ra ra, polka dots.  Just have fun!!!
