My wife was sweet enough to throw an 80’s themed party for me for my 40th birthday and it was a totally awesome experience. We paid extra attention to the small details and it paid off when the party rolled around. Many of out guest are talking about putting on there own 80’s themed party after ours went off without any major hiccups.
When it came to party favors we did some research on the internet and came across a few really neat ideas for 80’s themed party favors that would get smiles out of everybody.
- Mini Rubic’s Cube key chains – These have been around forever and we ordered several of them and just left them lying around on tables where people could play with them. It was kind of funny because every once in a while someone would come up and ask “is it alright if I mess this up because I don’t know how to solve it?”
- Cheap wayfarer sunglasses – They have cheap copies that you can order in all kinds of loud 80’s colors. You can order them in bulk also which will save you some money.
- Full size stand-ups – Hulk Hogan, Darth Vader there are several famous 80’s names that you can pick from. They also make for fun pictures at the party!
I would also like to add that it’s cool to have a prize for the coolest 80’s get-up at your party. Be sure to mention that on your party invitations as well. If you will splurge on a cool prize like a really nice bottle of booze or a restaurant gift card you might help motivate your invitee’s to work a bit harder on their costumes.
Fortunately, the internet has not only made planning things like this easier it has also made acquiring little things like these party favors a snap as well. If you want to throw an awesome 80’s party then it’s crucial that you take the extra time for the small details. This website was a big help to us during our 80’s party planning stages.
