A 1950s theme party can features items such as a jukebox.
A 1950s party gives some people the chance to celebrate while having a flashback to a decade where they grew up. This type of party can also give a young person a feel for how people his age had fun in the past. From soda fountains to polka dot sunglasses, several props are available for a 1950s party. Choosing the right props requires creativity.
Clothing
Possible props for a 1950s party include several clothing items from the decade. Purchase clothes such as poodle skirts, and encourage your guests to don white T-shirts and jeans with cuffs. If you are a man, slick back your hair and wear a leather coat. Wear saddle shoes and bobbie socks if you are a woman. In addition, put your hair up in a ponytail.
Food
Rent a free-standing ice cream cone cardboard cutout or even tall tables and bar stools that belong in a 1950s soda shop for your party. Purchase a backdrop such as a pink poster to go behind the stools and tables. In addition, dot the party place with props that look like root beer floats, and serve plates of cheeseburgers and fries along with a classic soda bottle or milkshake during the party. Add chiffon cakes for dessert at your 1950s event.
Music
Other 1950s party props can include vinyl records and even a jukebox. Choose a jukebox that plays 1950s hit songs such as "Mona Lisa" by Nat King Cole, "My Song" by Johnny Ace and "Jailhouse Rock" by Elvis Presley. Obtain an Elvis Presley wig and even props such as guitars for your 1950s party, and let a strobe light create a feel of being on a 1950s dance floor for party-goers.
Other Items
Add a poster that has pictures of a 1950s diner and 1950s cars on it for your party. Search for posters that feature a scene or drawing of characters from the 1955 iconic movie, "Rebel Without a Cause." Alternately, get neon lights that flash phrases such as "Rock and Roll" for your 1950s bash, and set up a dance floor for people at the party to do the Jitterbug.
