7 Tips To Make Your 80s Music Band Party More Happening

Throwing a party can be exciting, but it comes with a lot of pressure to please your guests.

Are you under the same pressure?

Are you looking forward to making your 80s-themed party enjoyable and fun for the invitees?

Here is a quick guide to help you create a perfect party atmosphere that your guests will surely enjoy.

What are you waiting for?

Let’s keep reading to know how.

1. Venue

Your venue works as the first impression of the kind of party you are throwing.

With the right venue, you can make sure to create the overall atmosphere of your 80s-themed bash.

Set out a layout before finalizing your venue about where you will place the stage, bar, food counter, and photo booth to create the desired vibe.

Consider a contemporary or a unique venue that can accommodate your guest list and leave a good impact.

2. Music

No party is complete without some music.

Talking about an 80s theme party and not having any top 80s music bands would make your party quite bland.

Henceforth, make 80s party music the highlight of the party in order to create a well-suited party atmosphere.

3. Dress Code

The 80s have given us so many eye-pleasing fashion trends.

Bring back the style to make your retro bash even more fun and exciting.

Ask your guests to come dressed as one of the members of their favorite 80s band – mention everything about the dress code on the invitation.

4. Neon Lighting

Including neon lighting is definitely the way to add an authentic touch to your 80s-themed party.

Deck your venue with neon signs, quotes, or lyrics from your favorite song.

Change your usual bulbs for neon color LEDs to add a splash of colors to your bash without too much effort.

5. Retro Photo Booth

Everyone loves taking pictures at parties.

So why not bring the nostalgic photo booths to party with all the retro styles you can imagine?

With a neon patterned backdrop, add a lot of gold and bright colored accents to make the booth as 80s as possible.

Lay out plenty of props and cutouts for people to get more creative with their photos.

6. Bright Colored Cocktails

Don’t forget to keep the colorful vibe within your food and drinks menu.

Swap the classic drinks with the more fun and bright-colored cocktails that taste sweet, like Midori Sour.

Take inspiration from the retro cocktail ideas available online and garnish them with fresh fruits, edible confetti, colorful straws, and cocktail umbrellas for more colors.

7. Theme Games

Who doesn’t love a party with games?

There is no one who doesn’t like having to play decades-old light-hearted activities.

You can create your own pop quiz based on the 80s bands, music, movies, news, fashion, and celebrities.

Or incorporate themed charades where you have to let your guests guess all the prime 80s references.

One of the most loved games is – “Guess The Song” – load a playlist and challenge all your mates to score points.

Ultimately

Last but not least, have as much fun as you can!

It might seem too obvious, but if you are the host of the bash – you are enjoying and having the night of your life on the dance floor, then your guests, too will make the most of the party!
