    ❓FAQ

    What is a 60's theme?

    A 60's theme is a party that plays up the cultural revolution during the 1960s. People expressed themselves through peace symbols, short skirts, bell-bottoms, flower power, and big hair. Music was rock and roll, such as Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix.

    How do you decorate for a 60's party?

    Decorating for a 60's party is all about bold colors and expressing yourself through signs like the peace sign or the popular smiley face. Choose items like tie-dye, daisies, hippie fringed items, love beads, and beaded curtains.

    How to dress for a 60s party

    Short and skimpy with loose, comfortable clothes were in style. Halter tops, short skirts, bell-bottom pants, all in earthy colors. The patterns were with peace signs, paisley, and large flowers. Shoes were earthy sandals and white high go-go boots or lace-up moccasin boots.

    Tie-dye party

    Magnolia Mommas shares how to host a tie-dye party. This party will be super colorful and fun to decorate for. You can pick up tie-dye party plates and cups at your local party store. Young and old alike will have a blast creating their own tie-dye projects, such as t-shirts, pj's, or bandannas. Hang a fun, groovy party sign on your front door and string hot pink lights all around. Serve groovy goodies such as tie-dye cookies and Tang.

Cut peace symbols out of heavy cardboard of foam core and spray paint matt gold. Hang macrame with plants around for decorations. Or better yet, do a macrame craft project with your guests.
