The events that would most represent the 50's would be the end of the war and the boom of the economy. The people started to party and the celebrations were brought into the works like crazy to celebrate the comeback from the Great Depression and finally that the war was over. Also in the fifties, a whole new age of specific activities such as "dancing and partying" became a whole new desire and fad. Right down to the famous poodle skirts that would swing and toss while dancing all of it was in celebrating the spirit of American Freedom. And like a lot of people, they would like to relive that glorious time. To bring it back to the fore.
If you are one of those people, here is a few helping ideas to help you with the decor you need to accomplish your party:
Jukebox, Rock and Roll Cd's (Albums), Paper Crepe Convertibles: If a jukebox is to be found, it would add the perfect mood to the room. The fifties were all about music and dancing and the jukebox had a huge roll to play in this era. Another thing to help bring back the fifties, is adding the top "rock 'n roll" songs in that jukebox. Also another good idea is on the walls, tape the top music albums that were famous in this decade. Tape famous music artist posters also. Have music records as decorations hung from the ceiling or hung on the wall. Some convertibles made out of paper crepe would be nice too, since the fifties were all about the "convertible".
Poodle Skirts: When seen on the spot, the poodle skirts will always be classified as coming from the "fifties" decade. The poodle skirt is legendary and will always be a classic clothing item for centuries to come. They have always been east to place because like the eighties hair do's, there is NO mistake about that classification. So, in coordination with your party, either have them as decorations or as a costume "must" for your guests and you.
Disco Ball: Although the Disco Ball was engineered before this time, it became a novelty at parties in the fifties and sixties. When the lights were low, you could have this ball shine such color over the entire room. It added a magnificence to the room and made the feel of the room coordinate with the specific songs that were played for dancing. If it was a slow song, it added a calmness of spirit. If it was a rock and roll song, it made the room that much more "Rock and Rollin' ". A very good addition to your party decorations.
Ice Cream Cones and Root Beer Floats: For a food and drink, of course you could have your specific entrees of your choice, but ice cream cones and some root beer floats would add some more fifty feels. And not just as a treat, but as decorations as well. Find some ice cream cone and soda float decorations to help with your decor also.
There are of course more fifties decorations, such as the dinnerware for your guests to have their food and treats on. But also, with just a little creativity, you will have more ideas for your party which will make your party exactly how you want it. Games of your choosing and other decorations would make your party unique and also make it a very memorable one for your guests. So, with all of this, you have a start of what and how to make the fifties come back again, with FULL strength.
