Have a 1950's party for the youth group in your church.

Outfits of today can easily be transformed into attire from the 50's. Guys: Where your straight leg jeans, a white t-shirt, and slick your hair back. Girls: roll up some jeans or wear capris, white socks, and white sneakers, throw your hair up in a pony tail, and wrap a sweater around your neck.

 

1950's church party for the youth and teens in your church.

Decorations for a 1950's party can be found all over the internet for just about any budget.

 

     Throwing a 1950's Party can be great fun.  Remembering the good old days of root beer floats, Chevy cars,  and records!  What could be more fun for your church youth than having a 1950's party night.  A time where they can learn about what the youth of the 1950s did for fun. Ask some of your congregation who enjoyed the songs, movies, and times of the 50's to participate and share some with the younger generation. We had a lady in our church who danced on American Band Stand! The teens were very excited to hear her stories. Have them share ideas of what school was like, gym class, the cars they drove in, and what they did for fun. Having a 50's party like this not only opens the doors for young people to see what it was like back then, it also helps the older generation reminisce of "times back when."

     After determining your budget make or purchase many decorations that represent the 1950's like cardboard records, jute boxes, posters of Elvis, Marilyn Monroe, and James Dean. Have black and white balloons all over the floor and streamers on the ceiling. If your budget allows hire a DJ to play all 50's music, if not just create a CD of 50's music to play. Lots of party favors around the tables would be a great idea too, or use these as prizes for games: Slinky's, Jacks, Bubbles, YoYo's, Sunglasses, Bazooka Bubble Gum, Comic books, and Plush Dice. There are plenty of on-line shops that offer 1950's decorations even for a low budget.

 

Here's a portable Retro Popcorn Machine that can be used for many parties and get-togethers including a 1950's sock-hop party, movie night, sleep-overs and more!

Here's an awesome small jutebox for your 1950's party!

Here's a cute Nostalgia Cotton Candy maker that perfect for your next party.

 
     If you can, have a movie playing in the back ground. Have it silent so that everyone can here the great sounds of the 50's.

     It all starts with your invitations and the posters you place around the church. They can easily be made by cutting out circles to look like LP albums or 45's with poster board. You can also add a jutebox or poodle skirt on the invites too.

     Some fun games would be, name that tune, artist, movie, or star during the 1950's.

Here's a link on how to make an easy poodle skirt with step by step photographed directions.

 

 And don't forget those cat-eye glasses that were "all the go" in the 50's to complete your outfit.
