Remember when all you needed for a great bash was hats, chocolate cake, and a big tub of ice cream? Well there's no reason to leave those good times behind. Bring back your childhood faves -- and reinvent them with a modern twist. You'll discover that bringing out the kid in you can breathe new life into any party.
- Start with some hip-yet-nostalgic decorations. Blow up funny childhood photos or just frame existing ones and place them all over the house. Guests will have a ball oohing and aahing over them!
- Serve up gourmet hotdogs -- and we do mean gourmet! We got inspired by our favorite Hollywood haunt, The Stand, where dogs come adorned with the yummiest toppings -- like blue cheese, grilled onions, and tomato ... or corn relish and cheddar cheese.
- Quench thirsts with newfangled soda pop. Check out DrySoda.com for cool flavors like kumquat and lemongrass -- and even cooler packaging.
- Serve homemade popsicles. Create your own combos -- how about a luscious lick of lemonade and vodka? Or pomegranate accented with wild blueberries?
- Serve up the sweets. Jazz up ordinary cupcakes by topping them with colorful retro candies like Life Savers, Dots, Sweet Tarts, or Good & Plenty. And set out bowls of Tootsie Rolls, Abba Zaba, Bit-O-Honey, and more -- they never go out of style!
- Provide playful diversions like hula hoops, Twister, and hopscotch, guaranteed to bring out the kid in all of us!
