America
in the 1920's was the richest society the world had ever known
and people freely celebrated the prosperity of the roaring
20's. To have a 20's themed wedding means decadence! Invite
your guests to dress for the occasion, hire a jazz band, and
teach everyone the Charleston. For décor, think art
deco. Ostrich feathers and strings of pearls make appropriate
table decorations. For fun, set out a few decks of playing
cards, or a game of croquette.
40'S
SWING
Bring
the swinging 40's back with a big band wedding. Encourage
gentlemen to wear baggy suits, and ladies vintage dresses.
Hire a big band to play all the classic swing tunes, while
you jitterbug the night away. Décor should be simple
and modest; some understated flowers in a classic
glass vase, and candlelight.
PSYCHEDELIC
60'S
A
psychedelic reception doesn't sound like the most romantic
thing, but when you recall that the 60's were all about peace
and love, the theme makes a lot more sense. Dress up the reception
with wild flowers and a dove motif for a softer look. Or to
go all out, use lava lamps in the centerpieces, peace signs,
and happy faces on programs, and place cards. Make tie-dyed
shirts as party favors. Or give mood setting incense
kits. Drive off in an old Beetle for the finishing touch...
70'S
DISCO
To
have a 70's themed reception, you must have a disco ball!
Strobe lights are slightly more optional. Dance the first
dance to "How deep is your love", and then disco
the night away! For favors, try to find fun, nostalgic 70's
novelty items, such as lava lamps, 8-track tapes, latch-hook
rugs, and mini disco balls.
80'S
RETRO
The
1980's has the special position of being recent enough for
almost everyone to relate to, and distant enough to induce
a wave of nostalgia whenever we do relate. The 80's may not
be known as the most elegant era (big hair and shoulder pads),
but it was an uplifting, carefree time. A tribute to the 80's
would definitely have to include music from the decade. That
should be easy since 80's music is the most fun to dance to
anyway! For fun favors and table decorations, send guests
down memory lane with items like Rubik's Cube, some garbage
pail kids trading cards, He-Man and She-Ra action figures,
and Bubblicious bubblegum.
