80s Party Decorations
Eighties theme party decorations should be fun and outlandish – sort of like the 80s themselves. Depending on your event size and venue, you may choose to do a little or a lot, but the 80s party decoration ideas here should be a killer start – fur sure!
Balloons
The easiest (and cheapest) was to take any venue from blah to bodacious is balloons. For eighties theme party decorations, you’ll want to choose some uniquely 80s color combinations. Here are a few:
| - Red, yellow, turquoise - Pink, yellow, turquoise - Pink, white, lavender - Lavender, peach, gray |

Cassette Tape Centerpiece & Table Decor
Many of the 80s party favor ideas featured on that page are great starting points for fabulous 80s-inspired centerpieces. For example, you can put that box (or two) of old cassette tapes to a good use. Not only does it make a great a period-piece, but serves as a musical treat for the eyes. Accent with carnations and baby’s breath (just like those junior high school corsages) and your table will be magically transported back to 1980-whatever.
For the perfect 80s party table (for food, drinks, favors), you'll want a pastel colored table cloth or something bright that ties through with your balloon colors.
Wall Décor
Round out your 80s party decorations with posters and LP covers from the era. They can readily be had on ebay. In addition, you can cut out big colored geometric shapes to hang on the walls.
Ambiance
To further set the mood, you can play classic 80s movies with the sound off on any TVs in the party area. Some great movies to use in this way include:
- Footloose
- Sixteen Candles
- Breakfast Club
- Valley Girl
- Ferris Beuller’s Day Off
- Karate Kid
