Totally 80’s Costume Party

October 7, 2013 by 2 Comments

 I totally miss the 80’s!!!  This was so much fun!  We had a totally awesome time reminiscing and talking about all those totally rad styles! 

  

 Love this intense “mod” look!
 Tough girl & preppy guy!
 Oh yea 🙂
 We had to break out the neon spray paint!

  
 The dinner was 80’s food – which is code for junk food: pizza, nachos, chips, onion dip, Kool Aid, Tang, and boy am I glad they brought back the Hostess Twinkies & Cup Cakes!!

  
 If you know me at all, you know that I can’t have a party without dancing!  I love this picture of the guys – they are singing Depeche Mode’s “Somebody”.  Ahhhhhhhh

We had a little “name that tune” throw down
 Then just lots and lots of dancing and singing!!

Jedi Costumes

This was the most intense Halloween yet! The children are so into Star Wars and they were very demanding on how the costumes should be. I searched the Internet and read how everyone constructed Jedi robes. It came down to laying the person on the fabric and cutting around their body! No tutorial here – you just have to go for it!!!
Marbles also got his own Jedi Robe. I love sewing things like that minutes before we have to go trick or treating!

I also made them matching treat bags with their names. I cut the image and letters out of vinyl then used it as a stencil and painted the bag.
