Fifties party decorations

Mostly, when people throw a party, they focus on a theme for the whole party. A popular theme today is “the fifties”. There are things of the theme hidden in every aspect of the party, for example and most prominent, the decorations.

Grease is the word

When you think of the fifties, you immediately think about “Grease”. Grease is a movie and musical about the fifties. They had a very distinctive style at that time. Not only shown in the clothing, but also in the environment. The style is very much about “rock ‘n roll”. How do you incorporate this in your event? Easy, put a black- and white-tiled floor on the ground and add some props in pink, blue and flames. Now you’re ready! Typical fifties props are for example old timer cars, milkshakes, jukeboxes or adjusted balloons.

Looking for something less extravagant?

If you want to throw a fifties-themed party, but you’re not a big fan about all the fuzz of the grease-/rock ‘n roll-style, you can just put very subtle decorations that connect with the fifties. Hang, for example, some records from the ceiling and add the other props – mentioned above – in a very subtle way.

There are a lot of ways to go with the decoration of your fifties-themed party. You can go crazy and make it look like you’re actually back in the fifties or you can subtly incorporate some elements in your decor.
