A 1950s-themed wedding and reception may mean decorations of fine china, cupcakes decorated with flowers, a white tuxedo for the groom, and beaded decorations and accessories. Brides and grooms can also extend the '50s theme to party favors. Look to photographs of relatives who married in the 1950s, or watch television shows from that era to get ideas for your wedding day.
Edible Favors
- Colorful lollipops double as a festive decoration and a tasty treat for wedding guests. Candy apples, sweethearts, Pez candies, pastel Necco wafers, penny candies, decorated cupcakes or a slice of apple pie all conjure up memories of the 1950s. Baked cookies inserted into wrappers depicting the bride and groom's names and wedding date also follow the 1950s theme.
Candle Favors
- While brides and grooms can purchase novelty candles shaped like jukeboxes, records or 1950s popcorn containers, crafty couples can also paint white, unscented candles to resemble icons of the decade. Use acrylic paint to decorate the top of a candle like a record. Paint a white or clear square candle holder with red and white stripes. Add the word "Popcorn" to the candle holder in black. Or paint a jukebox onto a candle holder. Include the bride and groom's wedding date and other pertinent information. Another option is to adorn the candle holder with lyrics from a favored 1950s song or lines from a classic movie or television show.
Music
- Create a compilation CD for guests featuring music from popular artists of the 1950s, such as Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Frank Sinatra, Bing Crosby and Ritchie Valens. Love songs from those artists include Presley's "All Shook Up" or "Can't Help Falling in Love with You." Buddy Holly's "Not Fade Away" or Ritchie Valen's "La Bamba" also make a perfect contribution to the disc. Decorate the CD's jewel case or the CD itself to look like a record.
Other Wedding Favor Ideas
- Small gumball machines filled with colorful gumballs can entertain children. Dolls, toy cars, jars of bubbles, candy-flavored lip gloss or red or pink nail polish are options for female guests, while men's hair products, such as Vitalis hair tonic and Pomade, may also be given away as favors. Inscribed Frisbee toys are another retro option that maintain the '50s party favor theme.
