We have been talking about having an 80's party since Thanksgiving weekend. That's when Jared found this really fun website that plays old theme songs from TV shows from the past. You know like Who's the Boss, Different Strokes, Cosby Show, Remington Steele, Dynasty, Love Boat, Growing Pains, Family Ties etc.... So he worked really hard and turned it into a Jeopardy game where we had the couples compete against each other and try to guess their favorite TV shows from a small beginning clip of music. It turned out to be so much fun!! We invited some couples and had a great time!! (Amber and Kristen came together because Jake was moonlighting out of town and Joe is deployed)
We also rocked the neighborhood with some 80's Kareoke with our favorite Canadien DJ Emily. She came in pink sequins and was really good at getting those glued to their chairs up and rocking like super stars! Some how I was singing in know time with Melinda "I think were alone now" by Tiffany!! Then John Travolta and Olivia Newton John (aka The Taylors) entertained us with a very professionl version of Summer Love. Next Darin put on a show with some much too masculine Micheal Jackson dance moves and break dancing. We could have gone on all night with 80's rock band and Rubic's Cube contests, but had too much fun with 80's TV jepoardy and Kareoke.
DJ Emily and boy crazy Jen belting it out!!
"Beat It" by Micheal Jackson and "Living on a Prayer" by Bon Jovi
The outfits were amazing everybody!! .....Jared and I gotta step it up next time....we just threw stuff together at the last minute since we were doing prep with getting computers hooked up for the games, food prep and what not, but oh so fun!! We spent half of the time laughing at each others outfits and joking about how now so many of the stores are now carrying 80's stuff....SCARY!! So who is the Totally Awesome 80's couple???? Drew and Melissa Swasey... hey with that wig you deserve to win!! Their prizes were movie tickets and candy. The two runner up couples got some candy along with a VHS used copy of Top Gun and Ferris Buellers Day Off!!

I think everyone should have to fess up who got their clothes from their own closet. Funny how those things seem to hide in there. Sounds like a fun night!
that looks like a total blast, wish we could have come!
I totally should have blown off the wedding and came to this fabulous party. I was waiting for you to come by and borrow Sheldon's fanny pack. ;) Love the post and pics!
Glad you all had fun, we love that kind of stuff.
No hand knit leg warmers. What kind of party is that??
Looks like a good time. Ash
I wish we could have been there! Love the outfits!!
Looks like you guys had a blast.
I love all those 80's TV shows... I wonder if I could have won the Jeopardy game! I'm not much for dressing up but you guys look great!
I just saw this party on Whitney's blog. What an awesome idea! You are always so great at hosting fun stuff.
