How to Throw a Rad 80’s Themed Party

Your hair is in a side ponytail and your spandex are in place. Seems like you’re all ready for your 80’s themed party!

Before you send out the invites however, check out a few essentials you’ll need to ensure that your 80’s soiree, is the freshest yet.

Dress with the 80’s theme

80's Theme

 

Who wants to attend a retro party in clothes from the 21st century? If your guests are truly lovers of the decade, they’ll be dying to dig up their favorite neon apparel and dust off those legwarmers to assemble their most favorite 80’s getup.

From jazzercise fans to 80’s glam, you’ll be able to enjoy all of the looks of the decade and perhaps hold a contest for best 80’s garb!

Cue the 80’s music

You can’t relive the 80’s without your favorite tunes! From Michael Jackson and Madonna, to Whitney Houston and Prince, there’s no question as to what your party playlist should consist of.

Bring some of your most beloved music icons back with a killer 80’s DJ that has all of your favorite songs from that decade. This will take some of the pressure off of you to throw together a rad 80’s playlist (phew!) and also allow your guests to request their favorite artists of that time.

Plan the perfect 80’s games and activities

The goal of your party should be to send your guests back in time for the night, and what better way to do so then with nostalgia?

Who knows their 80’s tunes the best?

Have a contest to see who can match the popular 80’s songs with the appropriate artists or have a lip-sync battle.

Host an old-fashioned dance-off

Maybe even throw a moonwalk competition in there to get everyone up and moving.

Arcade games and pinball machines
