5) Blast from the Past themed birthday - there are SOOO many things you can do with this theme! Deck out your venue in 80s and 90s-inspired decor (bust out that old walkman, dig out those jelly shoes and Doc Martens, and sport your best plaid shirt!) Have prizes for the best 80s/90s outfit, hair, etc. Put your old mix tapes out on display. Have a candy bar featuring all the great candy you can't buy in stores anymore. And, be sure to include some classic photos of the birthday girl/boy from those decades to get all your guests reminscing about the "good 'ol days" and having a few laughs along the way.
