Totally 80s Party Supplies

What did the 80s mean to you? Do you remember the neon colors, the outrageous styles, and the totally 80s music? Bring all of these great symbols of the 1980s into your 80s party decorations! Here are some suggestions to get you started:

• Buy tableware/paper goods in neon colors.

• Put a boom box on the table as your centerpiece, surrounded by some cassette tapes from the 80s.

• Scatter some 80s candies such as Pop Rocks, candy necklaces, Reese's Pieces, and Fun Dip on your party table.

• Display VHS tapes

• If guests still have some 80s memorabilia, ask them to bring their favorite thing from the 80s and set up a "remember the 80s" table.

• Hang up 80s movie posters

• Play 80s music

80s Theme Party Activities

• Purchase some tag board so that guests can post their pictures from the 80s during the party. Have everyone vote on the funniest photo, and also for the person that has changed the least.

• Set up a table for guests to display their 80s memorabilia items. This will serve as a fun walk down memory lane for your friends.

• Have guests vote on best costumes. Categories could include best 80s movie star, best 80s rocker, and best Madonna look-a-like.

• Journey, Madonna, Def Leppard, Huey Lewis, Duran Duran...Can you say Karaoke?

• Watch a favorite 80s movies or 80s TV show

• Have a break dance contest
