subject: Try Having An Eighties Party For A Different Kind Of Theme [print this page] Invitations of this era might include Madonna and Michael Jackson type fashion trend ideas. Include a list of suggested clothing to wear to the party, plus ideas about how to style their hair for the party as well. Some guests might need pictures to know what was "in" during this decade, and to get some appropriate clothing together for the event. This is not the end of this process, while most of the guests will show up as requested, there will be a few who forget something or everything.
Time to get to work on the 80s party supplies to both help decorate the place, but also to have a few items on hand for those guests who arrive and forget things. Might as well knock off those few extra reserve items; hair pieces, clothing, shoes, etc. with the idea that creative solutions can be adapted to the plan as needed. After some of the essential details have been taken care of, it's time to start changing the decor of the party area for the eighties theme.
Having music from the 80s is a good start, but then select those big hair bands of the 80s to provide most of the music for the night. Optionally the 80s saw the introduction of music video television to the consumer, making this a great feature to show on the day of the party, if possible. While the music video's were popular during this time frame, today finding them might prove to more difficult then expected. Worth exploring regardless of what happens, but make sure to include music form the time.
Having completed this phase of the party, it is time to come back to the 80s party supplies and see what else till is needed. Begin with the decorating of the tables and the buffet area to match the theme of the party. Each table could decorated with items from specific bands, such as sheet music, a cd from them, etc. This will of course depend upon the number of tables being decorated. Next look at wall art that can be added, such as pictures of the bands or musicians, then toss in some banners that can be hung form the ceiling. Each step gets the room closer to being done, all because this being tracked on the party list.
