Totally Rad 80s Prom Gone Bad- Party Resources

Talk about a rad party! In this blog we highlight costumes that you need to dress up in character- retro style!! From mullets, leggings to wigs! Dress to kill with these costume tips.

With their high school career coming to an end, the students of
Mayhem High find themselves battling it out over grades, popularity,
affection, class rankings and what they all have been focused on for years…
Who will be awarded the prom king and queen title?

Will it be the class president who is looking to extend his reign past the
student council? The pompon captain who has used her moves to land
more than a prom court nomination? Or possibly the math team captain who
is desperate to make his name in something other than academics.

As the night unfolds, the royalty will be rewarded and an innocent life will be
claimed. From the preppie to the punk rocker, the spaz to the stud, the jock
to the jilted—all are suspected although only one is to blame. Can you find
the culprit in this crazy madness of this 80s murder mystery dinner that is filled with neon, naughtiness
and narcissistic behavior?

Things you might want to incorporate into your outfit for the whole eighties appeal!

• The “Off the shoulder” look–Inspired by Flashdance

• Jellies sandals–They were plastic. They were noisy. They were hot.

• Exercise gear and leg warmers–“Let’s Get Physical” tore up the charts, and people everywhere tore off the layers in favour of spandex and sweatbands and got down with their bad selves.

• Teased hair– Perm it, fluff it, hairspray it and then adorn it with chunky clips.

• Tight acid or stonewashed jeans– Tight, and we mean tight jeans were all the rage, for both men and women. Bleach was splashed onto the denim to give it a patchy mixture of dark and light colour. Then they were ripped and safety pins added to give the desirable punk/rebel look à la Billy Idol. For this 80s murder mystery dinner, throw a mullet on with those pants and you were hot stuff.

• Neon

• Shirts with a clip on the side– Oversized t-shirts were big. Clipping them up on one side with a chunky plastic clip (make it neon, even better) was even bigger.

• Shoulder Pads– For reasons we’ll never understand, the linebacker look was popular back in the day.

• Don’t Worry, Be Happy– printed on clothing

• Slap bracelets – bring them back for this 80s murder mystery dinner!
