Theme Idea 1: 1984 Throwback
Transport your guests to the totally tubular 1980s!
Planning Guide:
- Decor: Neon lights, cassette tapes, retro posters, and bright, funky colors are a must. Think leg warmers, arcade games, and all things Madonna. Create a dance floor for your friends to show off their best 80s moves!
- Tablespace: Bright tablecloths, mismatched plates, and neon party cups. Add glow sticks as fun, nostalgic table favors.
- Food & Cocktails: Serve classic party snacks like chips, dips, and pizza rolls. For drinks, whip up funky retro-inspired cocktails like a Longhorn or Pumpkin Daiquiri. Bonus points for serving cocktails in colorful, retro glasses!
Theme Idea 2: Through the Years
Celebrate your friendship over the decades by decorating with photos and decor from each era of your friendship.
Planning Guide:
- Decor: Print and display photos of you and your friends through the years. Decorate with vintage items from each decade—think vinyl records, polaroid cameras, and disco balls.
- Tablespace: Use mismatched vintage plates, silverware, and napkins to give the table a nostalgic vibe.
- Food & Cocktails: Serve decade-inspired cocktails, from classic Old Fashioneds to 90s cosmos. Match the food to the era too—mini quiches from the 70s or finger sandwiches from the 60s.
Theme Idea 3: Murder Mystery
Make your Friendsgiving an unforgettable night by adding a spooky twist with a murder mystery!
Planning Guide:
- Decor: Dark, moody lighting, candlelit tables, and spooky decor like cobwebs, skulls, and vintage clocks. Set the scene for an eerie night!
- Tablespace: Black tablecloths, candlesticks, and blood-red flowers as centerpieces. Use dark, gothic tableware to complete the look.
- Food & Cocktails: Serve creepy cocktails like Black Widows and Red Rums. Pair with finger foods like stuffed mushrooms and deviled eggs to keep the spooky vibes going!
