Decorations You Can Use For A Sock Hop

By:


Poodle skirts and 50's costumes make the party fun, as does great food. Party decorations, however, are the first thing your guests will see when they come so it is important to have good decorations. Having good decorations for your sock hop this summer can transform an average party in to a really great one.

Decorate the event with a jukebox. Jukeboxes can be rented through party supply stores, and add a fun touch. If you cannot find a real one, try using a blow up jukebox or a paper jukebox.

Create a balloon arch in your party's theme color. Using a PVC pipe in the shape of an arch, tie balloons filled with helium with wire. You can dangle decorations from the center of the arch for an added touch. Place the arch in front of the entrance.

Cars from the 1950's can be a fun decoration. Ask around to see if anyone would be willing to loan their relic cars for the sock hop dance. If you cannot find a real car, consider using a paper constructed car for a decoration.

The walls are great places to decorate. Hang giant posters of 1950's artists. The easiest cut outs and posters to find are Elvis and Marilyn Monroe.

There are other ways to decorate the walls as well. Decorate the wall with a sampling of 50's items, such as poodle skirts, horn rimmed glasses, or letter sweaters. You can also use music records for decor.

Don't forget to decorate the tables. For centerpieces, find stock photos of people dressed in 1950's clothing, such as women wearing poodle skirts or greaser guys in leather jackets. You can also use famous stars from the 50's. Checkered tablecloths are a fun touch.

For those of you who would like to go the extra mile, you can purchase a balloon drop. For a balloon drop, netting is attached to the ceiling and filled with balloons. At the end of the event you can release the balloons for an exciting ending.
