Would you like to get out of the routine for a weekend and propose to your friends a special plan, one of those that are not forgotten? Taking advantage of the fact that the fashion and style of the 80s return to the present day, why not organize a party for friends where you can fill your house with colors, partying, optimism and music ?
An eighties party will guarantee a night of fun and good times to remember. If the idea encourages you, get to work! The first thing to do is turn the living room of your house into a space with retro airs.
Eighties decoration
- An original decoration will guarantee the success of the party. Living rooms with an eighties vibe are the latest in ‘living’ trends today, so it will be easy for you to find a typical (and cheap) table lamp or rug from those memorable years.
- For yours to be a true eighties party, you have to fill the environment with light and color with, for example, luminous mirror lamps, like the ones that shed light on John Travolta while he danced in ‘Saturday Night Fever’, fun garlands that hang from the pictures or doors and many balloons of neon colors (fuchsia, kiwi, orange) that remain floating in the air or tied in groups of four to the corners or columns of the room.
- The walls will also need to be dressed as a party, in fact, they would look authentic with posters of great movies of that time , such as ‘Flash dance’, ‘Back to the Future’, ‘ET’, ‘Blade Runner’, ‘Out of Africa’… Another idea, for those who don’t have complexes, is to stick a photo of yourself or a friend invited from that era to which you are paying homage in the living room or on the door. Laughter will be guaranteed! And of course, don’t miss the confetti scattered on the table and the floor.
Costumes and music
If you are about to start planning your big night, don’t forget to suggest to your guests that they come dressed as eighties, with striking prints, shoulder pads, skinny pants, leggings, extra-volume hairstyles. You just have to look at the impossible looks of Madonna or Alaska from that time and voila! And, of course, choose the songs that will play throughout the night: ‘Final Countdown’, by Europe; ‘Thriller’, by Michael Jackson; ‘I Don’t Want to Dance’, by Eddie Grant; ‘Let’s Dance’, by David Bowie; ‘Don’t Stand So close To Me’, by The Police… It will be an unforgettable party!
