I am planning my parents 50th anniversary in Las Vegas, NV next July 2006 and would like to get some ideas of a 50's Theme. I am holding it in a hotel convention room and would also like to get a band to play 50's 60's and 70's dance music. I will need centerpieces and favors. Thanks!
For a theme at the party you could do a diner/soda shoppe feel. Records hanging from ceiling or laid on the tables. Everyone comes in 50's attire-poodle skirts, etc. Have bowls of bubble gum available and have a bubble blowing contest. If you call the hotel you have reserved the ball room and see if they have an event coordinator to help with some ideas. You could also have a 50ish Elvis impersonator to entertain.
I would love to help you out with your centerpieces, favors, etc.
It would be cute to do hurricanes with old style jukeboxes on them and rather than set them on mirrors use old 45's. For favors votive holders or flutes with silhouette's of dancers in poodle skirts and leather jackets with the collars up...

50th For Your Parents
No matter what type of party you decide to throw for your parents, the thing they and everyone will cherish and remember is the song we write just for them, telling everything unique, wonderful and funny about their lives. We will write a parody in whatever style of music they like, maybe 50's or 60's. It will be completely personal to them after you complete my questionaire, I interview you and you have managed to gather all kinds of information about them through other friends and relatives.
People LOVE this and feel incredibly acknowledged.
Be in touch.
Regards,
Arlene
