80's 30th Birthday Party – Invitations

Show your brave side and dress up in your favorite 80’s outfits.  Take a picture and put it on the invitations.  Do not be afraid to go a little crazy.  The guests will love these invitations, and it will put them at ease about dressing up and looking silly.

Find out where people can go to get some 80’s style clothing and put this in the invitation.  Places that sell used clothing or online sites are a start.  Tell them they could also make some simple modifications to their own clothes.

If you simply do not want to put a picture of yourself on the invite, find some pictures of famous 80’s music and movie stars.  This will also give the guests some great ideas. Remember to include the famous “Valley Girl” words such as: “like”, “whatever”, “way”, “as if”, “totally”, “for sure”, “duh”, etc.

80's 30th Birthday Party – Decorations

Decorating for an 80's 30th birthday party can be a blast.  The key is to use a lot of very bright colors.  The blues should be electric and the pinks should be fluorescent.  Here are some more fun ideas for decorating for an 80's 30th birthday party:

• Set the mood right away with 80’s music.  People love to sing and dance to the 80’s songs.


• Decorations should contain colors popular in the 80’s, such as: teal, turquoise, red, pink, yellow, and lavender.


• Hang up the classic band posters of icons, such as Duran Duran, Wham!, Bananarama, and let’s not forget Cyndi Lauper and Madonna.


• Hang anything that is neon.  Neon lights can be found at party stores.


• Find a neon “Happy Birthday” sign or a neon “30^” sign or make one out of neon cardboard.


• Gold was big in the 80s.  Decorate the tables with gold tablecloths.


• Cassette tapes were the “in” thing back then. They can be used for centerpieces for the tables.  Set up a “boom box” next to the cassettes.


• Put out the candy that was popular in the 80s, such as:  Pop Rocks, Charleston Chews, Chiclets, Pixy Stix, Fun Dip, and Nerds.


• Draped lace was popular then.  Give your furniture a retro style in seconds.

Be sure to have extra 80’s accessories available to help people that are not dressed for the 80’s.  These can include:  leg warmers, fingerless gloves, glitter makeup, fishnet leggings, and scrunchies.   What else was popular in the 80’s?  The infamous side ponytails, off-the shoulder shirts, and parachute pants were a huge hit in the 80’s.

The 80’s have a distinct look, and that is what makes an 80's 30th birthday party one that your guests will be talking about for years to come.
