Ideas for a Good Old 60s Hippie Party
Back in the 1960s, the term hippie was first used to speak of young men with conventional, carefree lifestyle who rejected the political and social values, and declared their belief in universal peace and harmony. They accepted some of the faith of different religions and chose to live as nomads. Little did the hippies know that in doing so, they’d be remembered for times to come. Hippie culture quickly grew popular around the world and today people of all ages celebrate hippie parties, cherishing the good old times of the 1960s.
Hippie parties are all about taking yourself to a previous era, and getting the feel of those times. These parties are usually very thrilling and a lot of people love throwing hippie parties time and again. Some people even have hippie parties for their birthdays, which is another great way of commemorating the hippies of the 60s.
If you’re planning on a hippie party anywhere soon, just make sure you plan to drag everyone into the 60s. There is a notion that these parties are for the adults only, but this is very wrong. Hippie parties can be a lot of fun for adults as well as kids.
When inviting your friends, make sure you get the invitation cards with background showing a hippie party time.
You could get the services of an expert to arrange your hippie party. If you prefer your own arrangements, just remember that the overall ambience should speak of the old times when light mood people lived jubilantly. Fill your place with a lot of hippie decorations.
You could also colour your vehicle in a hippie style using non permanent paint.
Music gives life to any hippie party. Get some great tracks of the times on which people can dance around. If you really want to throw life into the party, you could get a hippie to perform for your friends.
Another great idea would be to ask all your friends to sing a song of the times.
Dress code seems boring to some but it isn’t, not in a hippie party at least. Tell your guests to put on their hippies costume so that they may actually travel back in time. A good idea for a costume would a tie dye shirt with bell bottom trousers with a hippie wig and a necklace carrying an emblem of peace. Kids usually like to get messy during hippie parties. Let them have the laxity for the day as this is what the word hippie symbolises.
As there will be kids in the party, you could mention in the invitation cards that smoking would not be allowed. Do not serve a lot of liquor too. Hippies power drinks and other sodas are great alternatives which go very well at such occasions.
You could entertain your guests with unique fun theme ideas of different sorts. You could ask them about the famous television and radio personalities of the 60s. You could also give small gifts of the 60s to the winners.
All in all, keep in mind that hippie parties are all about a fun, happy and carefree life. You must enjoy this party to the fullest.
Have you watched the musical movie of Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried released last year? Mamma Mia! When I watched the movie, I fell in love with this song as well other songs in the movie. It was like relieving the days of ABBA once again.
