Choosing a 50s 60s 70s or 80s theme is fun as it gives opportunity for guests to dress in appropriate fancy dress. Decoration of the room could be appropriate for that decade as well as the music.
50s - rock and roll, fair ground themes, juke boxes
60s - flower power and vivid clashing colours
70s - glorious glam rock.....and lava lamps.....and Saturday night fever
80s - the age of Star Wars

there are many other themes such as Wild West, Hawaiian, Monsters and Ghouls, Gangsters and Molls, Pirates of the Caribbean.....the list is endless!

Ideas for Planning Your Party and Things to Consider

1. Venue: First point of call is finding a venue within your budget, easy access for the majority of your guests and available for the desired date of your party. Always check with the venue about times, especially availability for accessing the room prior to the start time in order to decorate it and prepare everything. You'll also need time at the end of the night.

Remember to check what facilities or essentials are available for your use such as tables and chairs, plates, cutlery and glasses. If your venue doesn't have a bar you may need to arrange an outside bar. Many of these will also provide glasses.

2. Invitations: Give as much notice as possible. Remember to include the date, time, last day for RSVP and most importantly directions or small map of how to get to the venue.
