Throwing a decades-themed party is the ultimate way to time-travel without leaving your living room! Whether you’re feeling 1920s fabulous or 1980s nostalgic, there’s sure to be a decade that matches your party mood. 

We’ve gathered our top tips and must-have party supplies to help you celebrate any era. From setting the tone to setting the table, here’s how to turn your bash into a blast from the past, one decade at a time.

A 20s-themed party is all about glitz, glamor, and Gatsby-inspired decor. The perfect theme for a New Year’s Eve party, think Art Deco patterns, champagne color palettes, and plenty of sparkle. We suggest decorating with shimmering tinsel garlands, feather-topped centerpieces, and cocktail-inspired accents. 

For a roaring 20s tablescape, start with a gold metallic table runner topped with eye-catching adornments, such as these metallic party blowers. Next, layer a variety of geometric-shaped plates to create a glamorous yet refined table setting. We recommend pairing our Blanc White Star Plates with these Gatsby dessert plates, layering our Signature Sweet Peach Dinner Plates underneath for extra dimension. Complete the look with coordinating guest towels, cutlery, and a thematic element like our Champagne Tower Cocktail Napkins.

A 50s-themed party calls for retro diner vibes and sock-hop sweetness. Set the scene with bubblegum pink banners, checkered accents, and ice-cream themed decorations. The key is to make your space feel like a vintage diner, so get the jukebox going and the soda pop flowing!

For the party table, start with our Fresh Mint Signature Table Runner, embellishing with checkered plates and napkins. To play up the nostalgia, add these 50s record dessert plates and a pink vintage car centerpiece. Don’t forget to include some ice cream sundae accents and sprinkle-covered treats to tie it all together. For more 50s party ideas, sock-hop on over here to see our entire collection. 

The 60s and 70s are where flower power meets disco fever. Start with a bold color palette, like hot pink and sun-kissed orange, and go wild with psychedelic decorations. 

From daisy garlands to peace sign piñatas, there are plenty of groovy ways to decorate a 60s-themed party. For the tablescape, opt for our Petal Pink Signature Cabana Stripe Table Runner, matching pink plates, and napkins. We recommend adding these disco daisy van plates and smiley face cocktail napkins to amplify the flower power feel. 

An 80s-themed party calls for bold colors and electric energy. Opt for neon decorations, geometric accents, and Rubik’s cubes galore. To level up the nostalgia, incorporate some retro tech elements with boom box party supplies and video game party favors.  

For the perfect 80s tablescape, start with our Black & White Checkered Table Runner, layered with our Black Noir Signature Plates and Sprinkles & Smiles Large Plates. Tie it all together with these Video Game Controller Napkins and coordinating accents, and you’ll be ready to party like it’s 1985!
