Whether you are from that era or not, a 50's sock Hop is a great idea for a party. Your invitations could read “pull out your Bobbie socks and poodle skirts and come on skates if you want to, but get ready for a "Sock Hop Bee Bop". This party will be so much fun to plan. Especially if you can remember these fun times. Try to find an old record player, one that drops the 45's one by one. When decorating, thinks "Grease", ice cream shop drive-in theme would be a fun decoration idea and you could actually have ice cream with all the toppings for the guests to enjoy. Dancing the jitterbug or jiving will bring back wonderful memories.
