Hippie-inspired Party Elements to Capture the 60’s Beat
Get your guests back to the 60’s era in time for the party! Send out themed party invitations (1 – via Zazzle) with iconic peace signs and a camper van. Tuck in a note urging everyone to come in hippie attire (4 – via Amazon), flower prints, fringes and all!
On party day, put up a tie-dye “Peace and Love” tapestry (2 – via Amazon) to set the theme. Then, set the guest tables (3 – The Welcomed Guest) with multi-colored place settings and flower power glasses.
Keep the 60’s vibe going to the sweet stuff! Have a fun tie-dye birthday cake (6 – from Domino Sugar), swirly neon-frosted cupcakes (5 – from Sweeten Your Day Events), and colorful peace-sign cookies (7 – via Creative Cookies) packaged to give as party favors.
Speaking of favors, how cool would it be to have “hippie chick” drinking jars (10 – via Pinterest) for the guests to take home, or special gift boxes of “Woodstock Candy” (8 – via Amazon) containing a retro candy assortment.
For party activities, how can you skip including 60’s photo booth props (9 – via Amazon) for the requisite silly snapshots?
And of course, having the entire party swing to iconic 60’s tunes (11 – via Amazon) is an absolute must!
