News: 80s Party Decorations Stories
|
We LOVE to receive great 80s party stories
like this one. Thanks so much, Maria, for sharing your ideas and
pictures. We are sure other visitors
can get some great ideas when planning their own 80s party from what Maria did.
I need to thank you for your AWESOME
website! You proved to be an invaluable resource for me when I threw my
party in August 2008. First off, as far as decorating goes, I scoured
various websites for 80’s posters. I also asked friends to dig up any
records and memorabilia. As you can see from the pictures, they did not
disappoint! I found a working record player in my in-laws attic, and set
that up in my den along with all of the LP’s that were found. Guests
brought any pics of themselves in the 80’s that I posted on an easel as
well as high school yearbooks. I had on hand Transformers, Kabangers,
Chucky dolls, Care Bears, you name it! Of course Aqua Net and Aussie
Sprunch Spray was in the powder room for the girls. |

Food and
snacks were cheeseballs, Razzles, Fun Dip, and Reeses Pieces. My costume was a
combination of Mandee and Claire’s for accessories. My husband was
ICEMAN from Top Gun. Many guests had luck with vintage shops and their
own ingenuity. We set up a TV outside so that guests could watch their
favorite 80’s movies, Sixteen Candles, St. Elmo’s Fire, The Breakfast
Club, etc. Oh, THE MUSIC. I am a fan of ALL 80’s music, so my iPod
playlist had everything from The Police to R.E.M. to Metallica. Can’t wait for this year’s party!
Keep up the good work! Maria –
