How To Throw A Fabulous Fifties Party

The fifties were a time of great change. Rock ‘n’ Roll brought about a revolution in style, music and culture. The teenager was born and everyone was rocking. If poodles skirts, polka dots and jukeboxes are your thing, a fifties themed party could be perfect for your special occasion. Whether it be a birthday party, wedding or engagement; a fifties themed party is sure to impress.

The most important aspect of throwing a successful fifties party is surely the decoration. Aim to decorate your venue in the style of a fifties sock hop or prom. Think about the dance in Grease or the diner in Happy Days if you need inspiration. If you have access to a jukebox, this would be a great asset. Buy Cadillac shaped balloons, Elvis cut-outs, or cardboard records for a funky look.

Invitations are a great way of getting across the theme and style you are hoping for. Decorate invitations with fifties images such as vinyl records, jukeboxes, soda fountains and classic vintage cars to really get your guests in the mood.

You will probably want to provide food for your guests and fifties inspired food is very easy to make. Serve American style hamburgers and hotdogs with cherry sodas and root beer floats or apple pie for a fifties diner feel.

Music is an important part of creating a fifties atmosphere. Try finding a DJ who plays fifties music or you could even rent a jukebox for the occasion. If you want a live band, there are lots of groups who play fifties music. Some of them even impersonate fifties stars.

Finally, you will want to look the part. You can’t go wrong with a polka dot prom dress, puffball skirt or Capri pants. For the guys, tight blue jeans and leather jacket are a must have!
