Members of Generation X, those born between the mid-1960s and 1980, will have some significant birthdays this year! These people grew up in the 1980s counter-revolutionary era, surrounded by synth music, early computer technology, and Beetlejuice.’ These people will recall the Chornobyl disaster, the birth of the Simpsons, and the demise of the Berlin Wall. But, most importantly, they’ll remember the rocking era’s vibe and may want to celebrate with an 80s Theme Party! Whatever the occasion, a themed party is a great way to design a coherent and colorful celebration that your guests will never forget!<\/p>\n
To organize an 80’s theme party, incorporate as many 80’s nostalgic ideas and products as possible. Numerous entertaining ideas are available, from fancy dress to 80s bingo, to assist you in making your theme party unique and enjoyable. Here are a few things to consider to get you started.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Create customized invites to add some 80s magic before the party even starts. For example, if you have an old photo of yourself with a huge hairdo dressed in 80s clothing<\/a>, you could scan it and add it to the invite or print a few and glue them on. Make it colorful with retro patterns and motifs \u2013 you could even scan some images of iconic icons into the card.<\/p>\n The 1980s were full of eye-catching fashion trends. Please bring it back and have some fun with it by instituting a dress code for your retro event. Request that guests dress in their favorite 80s outfits. Expect a lot of legwarmers, neon, animal designs, and hot pink. Make a fancy dress code for your 80s party, challenge your guests to come dressed as their favorite 80s movie character, or create an 80s music-themed bash. On your party invitations, include information about your dress code.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When it comes to unforgettable 1980s hits<\/a>, the list is nearly endless. The best-selling albums in the 1980s were Madonna’s True Blue and Kylie Minogue’s self-titled album, while Wham! and Frankie Goes to Hollywood had the best-selling singles. So whether you’re planning a massive or small-scale 80’s themed party or corporate event, include some of the toe-tapping hits of arguably the most incredible music decade ever.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Pay attention to the details if you want to throw a genuinely tubular ’80s theme party. Yes, what your guests wear is crucial, but you must also transport them. If you keep yelling at your Google smart speaker to play your Spotify playlist, no one will feel like they’re back in the ’80s. Because the 1980s were a daring decade, your party decor should reflect that. First and foremost, gather as much neon as possible. Then, feel free to add some checkerboard and metallic accents to your neon. Finally, make your party even more memorable by providing vintage ’80s-inspired favors for your guests to take and enjoy throughout the night.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you want to organize a games night or have a few games placed about the party, you’re in for a treat. Numerous games from the 1980s are still popular today and are ideal for any party. You can keep it authentic by renting or borrowing classic video game consoles or choosing updated versions of today’s consoles. If everything else fails, there’s always 80s trivia or karaoke. Both concepts are sure to be highly successful since everyone likes to believe they know everything and are the best singer.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n In addition to speaking, attendees like attending parties to consume appetizers and drinks. Aside from heaping bowls with sweet snacks and goodies, numerous 1980s snack trends are still as fabulous as they were generations ago. Pop- Tarts, Pizza Rolls, Doritos, and microwave popcorn are possible snacks. All of these delectable treats were decade-defining classics in the 1980s.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Don\u2019t overthink your 80s celebration. You\u2019ll be doing everyone in your life a favor by brightening their day with vivid colors, music they haven\u2019t heard in years, and fun games. Keep the enthusiasm up and go large: the 1980s were all about going big and being anything but sedate.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hosting an 80s Themed Party Members of Generation X, those born between the mid-1960s and 1980, will have some significant birthdays this year!
