Travel back in time with a 50s theme party. The iconic 50s sights and sounds make great party decoration ideas. Whether you think of sock hops, drive-ins, diners or soda shops, you can tailor your 50s party decor to your tastes. Consider the party venue and any restrictions it has when planning your party decorations.
Diner Setting
Recreate a 50s diner as part of the party decor. If possible, use 50s style tables and chairs to set the tone. Incorporate the red and white checkered pattern through tablecloths. The red and white theme also works well for other party elements such as balloons and table service. Serve beverages in cola glasses.
Jukebox
A jukebox is a staple at a 50s theme party. A tabletop jukebox is an inexpensive way to add to the ambiance of the party. Consider renting a jukebox from a party rental store for a bigger impact. Your guests will enjoy selecting their favorite tunes from a full sized jukebox. If the budget is limited, a cardboard cutup or inflatable jukebox still creates the 50s feeling.
Drive-In
A drive-in scene is another simple decoration idea for the 50s party. Use an actual home movie screen or a white sheet to make the drive-in screen. If you have access to a projector, use it to display movies or photos. Make a 50s style car cutout from a large sheet of cardboard. Add posters for 50s movies to round out the drive-in decoration theme.
Rock & Roll
Rock and roll decorations are another fitting theme for a 50s party. Cut music notes and guitars from cardboard. Paint on the details and suspend the cutouts around the room. Real guitars also work well for the party decor. Vinyl records also make ideal decorations if you're leaning toward the rock and roll aspect of the 50s. You can cut circles from cardboard to create mock records if preferred. Enlarged photocopies of 50s band album covers round out the rock party decorations.
