Ever thought of adopting a retro theme for your next party? Fantasy themes are slightly overused Cheap Daryl Worle Jersey , and you could use a breather from those bloated getups your friends keep on dreaming up. If you'd rather not see another Princess Leia or Elvis impersonation, then you should keep your next theme intact; keep it focused on the 70's or the 80's. Yes, it's still a cliché if people come in as hippies or punks, but at least you'll have a recurring theme going this time. Instead of a free-for-all, come-as-you-please party Cheap James Bradberry Jersey , you'll actually have an event where everyone is on the same page.
A Roaring 70's Theme
The roaring 70's is pretty straightforward: set up a disco party. The 70's still has some of the flower power vibe of the 60's, so there's enough variety to go around. You can even split the venue into two themes, the difference indicated by photo op walls or booths. The early 70's was marked by hippie culture and the Beatles, while the latter half of the decade is known for John Travolta, afro wigs Cheap Harrison Butker Jersey , and Saturday Night Fever. You can ask guests to dress up with either theme in mind. Set up hookahs for fruit and tobacco drags, mini bars for margaritas and tequila shots. The costumes are easy enough to find for most of your guest, since they'll probably have their parents’ vintage wardrobes lying neglected in a closet or up in the attic.
80's Pop and Punk
The 80's is a different affair, what with the popularity of eye makeup, spray net Cheap Daeshon Hall Jersey , crazy hair, and leg warmers. This is the MTV generation of The Culture Club, Madonna, Wham, and Cindy Lauper Cheap Taylor Moton Jersey , so make sure everyone goes all out. The assortment of possible costumes varies from punk to pop culture as well, and it's better if you let people come as they please. You can set up rooms in your house like they were scenes from an 80's music video or movie; the detention room of The Breakfast Club, or a room inspired by the comic panes and transitions of A-ha's 'Take Me'. Let your retro imagination run wild and keep the details unique. It doesn't really matter if you have eight different variations of Madonna in your party, familiarity is the key and it should reinforce your theme.
Moderate Your Party Liquor
Note that you have to keep your party discreet and moderated if you're serving liquor, though. Beer kegs and liquor shots are staple fare of grownup parties Cheap Curtis Samuel Jersey , but you still have to ensure everyone keeps their faculties intact for the trip back home. Request that they designate drivers for carpools so you don't have to hustle around calling for cabs. The least you can do is have an overnight party and invite people to sleep over. Moderate your liquor servings or hire a bartender to keep everyone's intake in check.
Notes on Costumes and Decor
Your guest's costumes may be pegged down to the detail, and your guests will either wear heirlooms or bought outfits at the party shop. You'll still have to cover for the decorations and props, though. You can visit Parties Online if you're looking for the small details to complete your 70's or 80's party.
