Throw an 80's Theme Party
So you want to host an 80's theme party--like,
oh my gosh, how totally tubular! Whether you enjoyed the 80's the first time around
or you just like living the retro-life, a well planned 80's party is sure to be
a hit.
The DJ
|
The first step in planning any successful theme party is to choose a good DJ. Never
under-estimate the DJ's ability to make or break your party. RetroDJtoGo will be
your not-so-silent force behind the scenes who is not only playing the right music
at the right time, but who is also choreographing the timing of all the evening's
events ensuring your party will be a hit.

The Attire
|
Encourage your guests to dress in their 80's best. You may even consider having
a costume contest to encourage everyone to really get into the spirit of the 80's
style. If you or any guests are in need of inspiration for costumes, just head to
your local video store and pick up a copy of a classic 80's movie such as
Sixteen Candles or Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
Enjoy a movie you likely haven't seen in a long time and take notes on what to wear.
Once you are inspired, head to the local thrift shops to piece together your outfit.
Break out your Member's Only Jacket, tease your hair or pull it into a side
pony-tail, and invite 100 of your closest friends to do the same! Make it
clear on the invite you must come in 80's gear or you are not allowed to enter.
No 80's party would be complete without some trinkets from the decade. Glitter makeup,
eye liner, plastic jelly bracelets, bubble gum and cheap sunglasses are perfect
favors that can be left on a table for guests to pick up and use immediately to
enhance their costumes. Don't forget the Aqua Net!

For the Ultimate 80's Theme Party - Make
it a Club 6400 Party
It began at the corner of Richmond Ave and Unity Dr. This was the location
