![]() Our entrance was one of my favorite party buys. We used PVC pipe and duct tape to create the straw, and a styrofoam ball to make the cherry. These were really fun to create! The base, or “shake glass” is actually a planter for gardening that is spray painted white! Our main dining table is pretty large, so we were able to make big tissue ice cream sundae centerpieces. They are perfect for snacking and they look super cute! I used the popcorn boxes at my son’s Star Wars Birthday Party! The black and white popcorn boxes are also a staple for my parties. I love buying goodies from Amazon, because you can snag stuff that you won’t normally find in stores. ![]() One of my favorite finds was this super yummy pink popcorn.

I started the party by dreaming up a color scheme. How fun would it have been to attend a Sock Hop? My mother-in-law was celebrating her 60th birthday, and it was the perfect opportunity to throw it back to the 50s – when she was born – for a bitchin’ 1950s Retro Sock Hop Party.
