So many parties to throw, so little time! Maybe one of our awesome followers can throw a 1950s themed party and show it to me? When I recently came across this cool set of 1950s themed party props from Mr & Mrs WTF, I started dreaming about 1950’s aesthetics and thought, how cool to throw a retro party? There are lots of ideas, from a vintage gas station like below, to rockabilly or rock n’ roll inspired, to the classic diner themes. Have a read further down!

How retro are these cupcake made by Commie’s Cupcakes? You can grab their buttercream cupcake guide here.

This theme looks really great in pastel blue and pink, or green and pink. Honeycomb decor and lanterns can be used to add colours to the look. These ones are from Lovely Occasions.
