80th Birthday Party Ideas

1940's Era Party

The 1940's are an iconic era. At any age this theme is fantastic, but for someone who has lived through it, remembering this era of distinction will be twice as nice.

Decorate with posters, magazines and photos of the time. You can find memorabilia online and at your local thrift stores. Most importantly, decorate with photos of the birthday person during that time period.

Memories and Music go hand in hand. Benny Goodman, Count Basie and Perry Como playing on the stereo are a must. Also, consider hiring a jazz band that has a 1940s repertoire.

For a fun game that everyone can enjoy, visit our conversation starter cards page, where you can print free cards that have fun questions on them that help guests easily strike up a conversation.

Finally, let guests know more about the decade by making cards or posters that state what a loaf of bread or a gallon of gasoline cost and what the popular movies and music were of the time. Stick to upbeat events that everyone will enjoy hearing about.
