60's Hippie Birthday  Party

Ideas, Invitations, Decorations, Games & Favors

What makes a perfect hippie birthday party?  Food, fun, friends and the right 60's party supplies are the key ingredients.  The good news is you don’t have to spend a huge amount of money to have a great event. Just do what’s right for your guests and your budget. Let Party411.com and Creations for You help you plan a memorable birthday party that everyone will be talking about, long after the party’s over.

60's Hippie Birthday Party Invitations

Start the party off right with a great invitation! Creations for You offers several personalized 60's hippie theme invitations, whether you go groovy or tie dye!  

Birthdays beg for a truly unique invitation! We can design a caricature invitation of the guest of honor.  Not only is this genuinely special, the art for this invitation can be used for a sign in board, welcome cutout, photo opportunity or even thank you notes.  See an example of a Caricature Party Package!

If you’re the creative type, then make your own invitation.  Just 3 simple steps.

1. Decide what kind of paper you want to use. Heavy poster board, card stock, colored paper are all possibilities. Go for bright colors! 
2. Pick a graphic that matches the theme, like a peace sign. A picture of the birthday person is always a possibility.  If you are using a computer grab a digital photo. If you are brave and are going to hand draw your invites use markers, glitter and don’t forget coordinating envelopes.
3. Decide what content you need. It’s pretty standard. When, where and why is usually sufficient.  If you want them to bring something (food or drink) or if you want them to respond, let them know. And if you want everyone to dress in 60's hippie attire don't forget to mention it on the invite!

Throw a neon peace necklace in the envelope and you are good to go.

60's Birthday Party Decorations and Party Supplies

Now you know they say "all you need is love", but a few decorations will go a long way too! Everyone will love the personalized hippie theme banner hanging outside the party area! It is weather proof so you can hang it outdoors to let everyone know where the party is at, or place it over the buffet as a room decoration.

As everyone comes into the party room, greet them with a  lifesize cutout of the guest of honor dressed as a hippie!  Place a basket full of hippie wearables near it so everyone can dress up their threads -

• Neon Peace Sign Glasses

• Psychedelic Fedora

• Neon Peace Sign Beads

• Tye Dye Guitar Inflatable

Hippie party decorations are colorful and fun, and can help you set the perfect mood for a 60's theme birthday! 60s Hippie Decorating411 has all decorating ideas and 60's party supplies you need to deck out your party space. Some of our favorite choices include:

• Hippie Decorations - fun signs that capture the essence of the era

• Daisy Bead Curtain - great addition to the doorways at your party, or hang several behind the buffet as a wall decoration

• Groovy 12" Balloons - balloons are the perfect party decoration, use them everywhere

You can use 60s theme graphics like peace signs and big flowers to decorate the walls.  These are easy to make on the computer or cut out of neon poster board.  For a larger event, hire a lighting company to project these images on the walls in a variety of colors. 

60's Birthday Party Table Decorations and Menu

These tie dye paper goods are just perfect for this theme, or if this is a milestone birthday think about using these milestone birthday paper goods.  A peace mobile piñata also makes a great theme centerpiece. 

Have a bit of fun with your menu and serve a few foods that were new in the 1960's along with your regular party food; Pop-Tarts, Bugles, Shake 'n Bake, SpaghettiOs, Gatorade, Doritos, Easy Cheese, and Pringles all made a debut in the 1960's.

No matter what you serve, be sure to have plenty of beverages; all with personalized birthday labels on the bottles.  Each label comes with your name, the date of the party, and many even let you put a photo on it.  Or choose one of the great personalized hippie labels. Don’t forget that you create the message so you can craft words that suit the occasion.  Be sure to order extras so your guests can take home a bottle of the “house beverage.”

Entertainment

Day or night, great entertainment is key to the success of any party.  A 60s party is a great dance party!  Your guests will love listening to The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, Crosby Stills Nash and Young, Santana, Joe Cocker, the Rolling Stones, The Who and other great 60s music.  You can dance The Twist, The Pony, The Bird, The Mashed Potato, The Watusi, or The Monkey!

Your guests will be standing in line to have their pictures taken in a Hippie Bus photo opportunity from Creations for You.  Woodstock or bust!

60's Theme Party Favors

Send your guests home with a sweet treat from your party.  A scrumptious milk or dark chocolate candy bar with a personalized 60's theme birthday wrapper is a delicious souvenir for a wonderful party.  You can choose from one of the hundreds of styles available from Creations for You and personalize the message.

You can make up a 60's themed goodie bag with a tag reading "40 years young and still having fun! Thanks for celebrating William's Birthday" Here are a few "fun" 60's things to include -

• 60's Candy - Sugar Daddies, Bazooka, Mallo Cup, Oh Henry!, Atomic Fireballs, Bit-o-honey
• 60's Toys - YoYo's, Silly Putty, Super Balls, Jacks
• 60s Temporary Tattoos
• Hippie Headband

Your 60's birthday party will be so much fun; your guests will anxiously await your next event!  With ideas and products from Party411.com you know that all your celebrations will be memorable ones.
