Awesome 80's-METALLIC THREADS
Legwarmers, video rentals, Moonwalk dance, Jordache jeans, Pac Man games, Care Bears, Rubik's cube, and "totally" 80's slang. Ideas for Decorations, Attire, Refreshments, and Photo Backdrops
Focal point coming into the event:
Using poster board , several pieces taped together, creating an arch walk through. Trim the top to create an arch at the top. Cover the poster board with music notes, metallic fabric, neon fabric, or any other 80’s items. Attach it around the doorway with packing tape. {You may want to create it in two separate pieces so you can transport it to your event.} For extra, you can cut out silhouettes of a dancer, a fashion item, or another item from poster board and place it on the bottom of the arch.
Attire: For this event you can wear neon colors, leggings, leg warmers, exercise outfits, glittery or sequined clothing. See our 80’s kit for more ideas, including hair styles. But keep in mind, most facilities don’t allow glitter or feather boas with outfits. Decorations inside the facility: Decorations could include participants decorating a star, music note, sunglasses. You can create them out of construction paper and/or poster board. It would be a cute idea to use neon or metallic colored poster board! Each group could receive a pattern for the decoration. Collect the decorations at the next leader meeting before the dance. Before the guests arrive tape them on the wall behind the tables. Personal touch yet very festive. Cuts down on cost for the event as well. Refreshments: Festive tablecloths in bright colors such as yellow, neon colors, or metallics should cover the tables. Place a plastic basket of cookies, pretzels, and/or candies on each table with a brightly lined bowl. Water bottles can be placed on each table and you can stick neon stickers on them. Use a piece of neon cardstock folded over to place on each table with the name of the group. Extra: Take photos of each group or if it is a parent/daughter event take pictures of couples. A backdrop could be a black sheet with stars attached to it. You can also stamp stars on the fabric as well or stencil the lettering "Awesome 80’s" on the backdrop. You could also have an some items to hold like a microphone. Child sits on stool and parent stands. See us for custom stamps or to customize a patch.
