Help with 80's theme party
Having a last minute 80's themed birthday party for my sister law when I go home to visit Massachusetts in 3 weeks. I know google is full of ideas but I was hoping you ladies had some more! I'll take any help I can get
Re: Help with 80's theme party
I'm not sure I totally get the wendy's thing...but, for 80's I would do lots of neon colors. See if you can order some fun plastic sun glasses for everyone to wear. (it won't let me hyperlink....)

Maybe put out lots of 80's candy..pop rocks, ring pops, candy necklaces?
Slap bracelets are making a comeback...maybe have some of those out?
You can have your favorite 80's movie playing in the background...16 Candles is my favorite!
Put out some rubix cubes for people to play with.
If I was going to a party I wouldn't be impressed at all if the host just went out and bought a bunch of crappy .99cent burgers from Wendy's.
How many people are you expecting? I think there are a lot of cute food themes/names you can do for an 80's party. Just some ideas are:
Saved by the Bell Peppers- Mini stuffed peppers
Like a Virgin Daquiri (or whatever non-alcoholic drink you serve)
Porky's- Can be for pigs in a blanket or other pork appetizer
Rubik's Cubed Cheese- can be for a cubed cheese display w/ crackers
You can Google around from some more ideas, but it just depends on what you want to make
Obviously make sure you have your essential 80's songs on throughout the party
Pop Rocks would be a cute favor.
Ahhhh, as a side item in moderation.... cute. From your post I thought you meant that was the only food there. Yikes!
I will admit, a .99 Wendy;s burger has been my 2am drunk food many a time
