Class Reunion To Class Birthday Party

We recently celebrated our 30 year class reunion. We decided to have it in an outdoor pavilion, casual dress with a cookout style catered dinner. We really enjoyed the atmosphere. It was totally laid back and comfortable and the “Back Yard” style dinner instead of being uncomfortable in suits, dresses, and paying for a $50.00 a plate dinner. We usually have our reunion every five years. At this our 30 year reunion class-mates started talking about a 50 year class birthday party. What a blast that would be! Everyone loved the thought of staying with the laid back atmosphere. During our reunion we had already narrowed our birthday theme down to a Luau or a 50′s Sock Hop. We have actually planned for both ideas. As far as party supplies and decorations go. The committee that was quickly formed will soon be taking a class vote.

For the Luau themed party some party decoration ideas were:

  • Tiki torches – in ground and table top styles
  • paper lanterns and small decorative string lights
  • faux palm trees
  • Luau party music
  • Luau – Caribbean costumes and leis
  • Tropical design place settings
  • Thinking of having a limbo contest

For the 50′s Sock Hop themed party some party ideas were:

  • Neon food signs
  • 50′s music for the stroll
  • Class mates could show in poodle skirts and leather jackets

Right now the food is undecided, but we were tossing around the idea of baked hams and pineapples with everyone bringing a side dish. Of course drinks will be provided. We found this type of party to be inexpensive, and can keep the cost down to around $10.00 per person. We believe around 200 class mates will join in on the Class 50th birthday celebration, so at $10.00 per person the hall (pavilion), DJ, decorations, and drinks will be covered! As I said it’s all in the works. If you have any ideas for me let me know by leaving a comment.

First and foremost one of the best themed party tips I can give you is this. First you’ll want to invite company you get pleasure from being with, and have heaps in common. This way any party theme you select will be pleasant. Some really good party ideas are: a card night, 50’s and 60’s party, dinner party, any family activity, or even a movie party. Any of these themes are sure to entertain.

Have your gets come as their favorite Hollywood Movie Star. This can be the actual actor or actress, or a character they have played in the movies. Once the party gets going and everyone is having fun, have your guests take turns portraying something their character would say or do in one of  their movies (example: Clint Eastwood would say “Make my day”).

Themed Caribbean Parties are great to have any time of year. Indoors or outdoors there always lots of fun. If you’re looking for some Themed Party Ideas here are a few.

Invitations: Here is a cool idea a friend of mine tried. Go to your nearest dollar general store or cheap discount store and buy several different pairs of colorful rubber flip flops. Write your party information on the back of each flip flop and hand deliver to your guests.  I’m sure they will love the idea.

Attire: Have your guests come dressed in your themed party style. You could suggest they wear bright colorful cloths, a cool pair of cut off’s, a light summery dress, and of course flip flops optional.

Music: how about a CD with steel drums for background music. You could even mix it up a little with some Jimmy Buffet or Reggae music.

Appetizers: I found a great Caribbean Themed recipe that your guests are sure to love
