A 60s retro party will no doubt leave guests feeling far out and groovy, but what will really set that feeling in the air is the right kind of music. The 60s are well known for flared pants and the music that created revolution. Celebrating a special event with outstanding performances that include singing, dancing and acting is a great way to keep the guests involved in the celebration. These fun activities are perfect for guests of all ages and will add a great deal to the celebration. More often than not, these performances will be the perfect addition to a fun filled and exciting event.
Songs like; At Last by Etta James, Hit the Road Jack by Ray Charles, The Twist by Chubby Checker, Big Girls Do not Cry by The Four Seasons, Surfin U.S.A. by the Beach Boys, Twist and Shout by The Beatles, My Girl by the Temptations, Stop! In the Name of Love by The Supremes, I am a Believer by The Monkeys, Respect by Aretha Franklin, Brown Eyed Girl by Van Morrison, Sittin on the Dock of the Bay by Otis Redding, Born to Be Wild by Steppenwolf, Hello I Love You by The Doors, Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty Springfield, and Proud Mary by Creedence Clearwater Revival.
Most often when people think of 60s retro parties they are thinking of the late 60s and the more hippy feeling, but the music from the entire decade will bring back memories and will cause guests to get up and put on their dancing shoes. With the wide variety of music and party supplies available from the 60s it won’t be hard to find music that will please all of your guests. Creative suggestion: Avoid waiting until the last minute to pick things out or pick them up, no need to add more stress. Everyone does not drink alcohol, be inclusive when planning a get-together and have a choice of drinks that include non-alcoholic opinions. When decorating a room to match a given theme or idea explore not just the horizontal space, but the vertical space as well.

The long-standing joke seems to be, if you can remember the 60s retro you probably were not there. It was a time of feeling groovy, loving peace not war and the British Invasion of the Beatles. Short shorts, mini skirts, and long hair, long boots, and even long fringe on leather jackets were common sites on the fashion scenes. Modernist furniture and art were making their stamp upon the world as Andy Warhol’s painting of Campbell’s soup cans became a pop icon. Smile faces, peace signs, Killroy, flower power and love beads were also common themes of the decade. These fun items along with cute supplies are always a great addition to a celebration and fun posters that include designs and greetings that are perfect for the celebration will liven up the event and make everyone feel very special. More often than not, these signs and posters will add a lot of fun to the celebrated get together.
So how do you bring the ambiance back to create a successful 60s theme party? Start with lighting. Replace standard white bulbs with tinted bulbs of yellow, green, red, or blue for psychedelic effects. Try to find a couple of lava lamps to put on tables as focal points for discussion. Decorate the entry way your guests will use with either love beads, flower garlands or strings of smiley faces, peace signs and ying/yang symbols.
Encourage your guests to come dressed for the decade in hippie clothing and ready to get their hands dirty. Have activity stations that include tie-dying a new white t-shirt (can buy at discount rates in bulk if you plan ahead), face painting, and a button making station where buttons of their choice can be crafted – remember all those that said Make Love Not War? Other games can include 60s trivia and stick the sticker on the Volkswagen Bus! To wind down the night, be prepared to give a nod to the 60s Beatnik movement with your own open mic poetry reading. Serve fresh drinks or coffee and have ever settle into a comfortable seat. Pass out random topics (the more random the better) and give the guests 5-6 minutes to improvise a poem about the topic. Be prepared to go first to break the ice and don’t forget to snap your fingers to show your appreciation at their raw creative talent!
