If you can find some cool 80's cd's...We used to sit around, or dance around a lot. Also put on some wild 80's make up...very bright blues and pinks with lots of eyeliner.
If you cant find leggings with the straps on the feet, or legwarmers you can wear tight pants and 3 pairs of different colored socks and scrunch them.
Since its in a hotel swimming is always good....but other things to do it makeovers....Big ratted hair, side ponytails, makeup and lee press on nails:)
Hope you have a blast.
Oh, be sure to use the language such as...
Gag me with a spoon
Knarly
Totaly awesome
Like Oh my god!
hehe I love the 80's

Oh, if you have the cd's...you can start a song, play maybe a minute of it and have people name the song.....or have them put on headphones so only they can hear the music and have them sing it to you.

Decorations:
-Original Care bears
-Strawberry Shortcake
-Bright Colors

Clothes:
-Leggings
-Big Hair

Definitely watch the movie "16 Candles"! You could get some fun ideas from it.
A good place for cheap decorations is www.orientalcompany.com.
Also here is another place for good ideas: http://www.megsplace.com/TimeWarp/child....

That sounds like fun. Here are some invites:

Have 80's music playing. Have everyone dress in 80s style. You can open up some large cardboard boxes and spread the cardboard out on the floor and have break dancing.

For food you can have chips and pizza.

If you want to have another activity you could have a table set up where people can make "Friendship Beads" You never see them any more but we used to string beads onto large safety pins in interesting designs or even spell out words with alphabet beads. You would then wear the safety pin on your shoe..attached to the shoelace. You give them away to friends or trade.

They look like this

Good luck and have fun!

You should hand out little "Members only" jackets as favors. Hehe. Incorporate the "Thriller" dance somewhere in the night too. Totally 80s.

Or you could have everyone dress up in '80s - but not just general '80s, but something specific. For example, you could be "Like a Virgin" Madonna. Someone else could be a Cabbage Patch Doll. That kind of stuff. Good luck.

Oh yeah, and drink plenty of Tab Cola.
