It's A Party-ful Life!

• Decorate in mostly black and white and some pink... Use black posterboard and cut out silhouettes of  'sock-hoppers', sunglasses, classic cars, guitars, soda pop bottles, and musical notes.

• Tie bunches of pink and hot pink balloons at the tie of the balloon and hang from the corners of the ceiling.

• Obtain any old classic car memorabilia, fabulous 50's music, and old diner memorabilia and use to display throughout the room.

• Rent a juke box

• Serve deluxe hamburgers and fries in a vintage style basket, milkshakes (complete with whipped cream and a cherry on top!), Coca-cola, and rootbeer floats

• Hand out swag bags with fuzzy dice, black plastic sunglasses or cat eye glasses for the ladies, any fun Elvis memorabilia, Bubble Gum Cigarettes, and a Matchbox classic car

• Have friends, that have classic cars, drive them over to proudly display on your front lawn...(have your own car cruise!) 

• Play 50s trivia! see http://www.fiftiesweb.com/fifties.htm for great ideas

• Play lively 50's music and have a sock hop! Or even play 50's Karaoke! What fun!

• Have a dance contest just like on Grease

• Ask guests to dress 50's style: shop vintage or second hand stores for saddle shoes, bobby socks, poodle skirts, cuffed jeans and leather jackets...

• TIP:rent or buy a copy of Grease for more inspiration...
