Catering Tips and Tricks - Party Theme Ideas

80s THEME PARTY

They seem like just yesterday, but the '80s are far enough in the past to be considered "retro." Narrow ties and big hair may have gone out of style, but you can bring them out of retirement one night for a great '80s themed party. With so many icons of the 1980s to choose from, your guests will have a blast coming as their favorite "Me First" generation hero!

Decoration & Music
Everyone remember something different about the '80s, so go with your favorite part of the decade when decorating. Whether you were into the power ballads or New Wave, you can decorate with pictures of your favorite stars and play all their music. What's more, everybody knows all the words to '80s songs--so karaoke is always a great option!

Meals
The 1980s were the era of junk food, so go nuts with all the great snacks you can find. But for your main courses, keep it lite! Low-fat diets were all the rage in the '80s, and companies cashed in on creating lite and low-fat varieties of their popular snacks. You can re-create this by making a healthy low-fat meal--or just poke fun at it by labeling everything on the table as "lite" foods!

Activities
The 1980's introduced the first home video game systems, so drag out an Atari or a NES for kids' entertainment. For adults, have everyone bring some pictures from the '80s! You can all have a grand old time laughing at the denim jackets, torn jeans, and crazy hairstyles you used to wear.
