MAIN Home Life Entertaining 50's Party Ideas

For a great 50's era party theme it's always fun to throw your diet and caution to the wind and declare ...Grease is the word!

That includes the hamburgers, hot dogs, french fries and onion rings - along with the ice cream soda floats (and don't forget the buttered popcorn for a 50's movie drive-in theme.)

Activities can range from hula hoop contests to 50's trivia games - or dance the night away with a 50's sock hop theme listening to Elvis, Bill Haley and the Comets, The Platters, The Coasters, The Drifters, or the great doo-wop bands of the decade.

Keep all the above in mind when designing your invitations, which should include a request that guests dress up in their favorite bouffant, duck tail, bowling shirt, leather jacket, poodle skirt, or other popular 50's fashions..
