Let's party like it's the 50's DIY style

So, you wanna have a retro party, but don't know where to start, follow my post and I will show you how to have an awesome 50's style party with little work.

First we need invites, now if your pressed for time we should stop here, if you really want to pull off a great party you will need to plan and be prepared to get your hands dirty. Of course you can buy invitations at any store but where is the fun in that when you can do it from the comfort of your own home. Here are a couple of my favorite ideas:



Fabulous 50's Birthday Invitation



Now a fun idea would be to have all your guest's show up in 50's style clothing. Think poodle skirts for the lady's and for men think Fonzie style, leather jackets and tight fitted jeans...don't forget the bubble gum!

How to decorate, you have the invites now what? Well keeping with the 50's them you will want some decorations to go along. Here are a few ideas to get you started!

So what do we feed our guest's?? Greasy food of course! Handmade burgers are easy to make the night before and you cant have hamburgers without french fries. Don't worry about the calories for one day, It's a party and you deserve it after all the hard work you put into it. Here is a cute idea for serving up your food.  Bakerella.com has a printable food tray and french fry holder, you can choose to leave them blank so they wont say "happy Fathers day"
