My mom turned fifty this past year. Being that she was born in the fifties and now turning fifty, I went with the idea. I started by purchasing many rock n roll party items from the store, but then we made record albums from black poster board and colored construcion paper. In the center we placed copies of photos of her through the years and wrote song titles around them. The tables had a runner down the center covered with nastaglic candy and toys. Some of us wore costumes and we played fifties music all night long. It's a great party idea and can be modified for any decade. Albums, 8-tracks, cds.
