What are some good Ideas for a sixties themed 21st birthday party?
I say 21st birthday, but its actually going to be a room party at a hotel celebrating my 21st year. I would like to serve sixties drinks and snacks have sixties themed decoration and doorprizes, etc.
Oh and sci-fi connections if possible.
Answers: Fondue was big in the 60's and you can create stations with different fondues and dipping items. Include a chocolate fountain to choose from. Other items were the Cobb salad, which is filling. You can make individual servings and place them on Japanese soup spoons for an appetizer. Baked ham in coca cola sauce to slice and eat with mini apricot muffins is also good. For snacks: Fritos and cream cheese chili dip, pigs in a blanket, spinach dip in a bread bowl. For drinks: sangria!
Star Trek was a biggie, as was The Ed Sullivan Show (think the Beatles, Rolling Stones etc.) They also had the General Electric Theatre and showed movies. You could set up a wall with a white screen or sheet and show DVD's of 60's movies and reruns of Star Trek! The Day The Earth Stood Still, The Thing, Forbidden Planet, are all good choices. Also, The Invaders was a great and spooky series during that time. Have hovercars and all the other stuff we're supposed to have in the 21st century from the 60's. Oh right...
Oooohhhhh, I know, do a who killed JFK conspiracy party!!! Ok I'll be serious now.
Well the U.S. and Soviet Union was having a space race, so you could do something about the moon. The 60's was all " peace and love ". Do a web search for food. There are plenty of recipes out there, even for drinks. For dress ideas, it is a perfect time to get " Hippie " costumes.
