A fifties party is perfect for all ages. Your invitations could read " Let's all gathet at the Hop." Tell your guests to come in their favorite fifities outfit. Try to find an old record player, one that drops the 45's one by one and play fifties music. When decorating, think "Grease", "Happy Days" and ice cream shop drive-ins as your theme but add pictures of Elvis, and other fifities stars such as "the Big Bopper", "Jerry Lee Lewis" etc. Hang old 45 records from the ceiling to add to the fifties flavor. Here are some fun games and contests for your guests to enjoy: pink bubble gum bubble blowing contest, hula hoop contest, name that tune contest, jitterbug or jive contest, and "The Twist", "The Mashed Potato" and "The Bop" contests. You could give prizes for best and worst dancers and also for the best and worst costumes. For your fifties menu, nothing beats a good old hamburger and a basket of fries unless, of course, it's a good old hot dog and a basket of onion rings. Popcorn and boxes of candy make great 50's snacks. Have ice cream with all the toppings for the guests to enjoy plus: malts, shakes. root beer and coke floats. A record cake will be a groovy end to this hep party.
