My daddy turned 70 years old this week and we wanted to do something really special for his birthday, so we planned a surprise 70's party for him. Everyone dressed like it was the 1970's. If you lived during that time you know that the 70s covered a wide range of looks. From hot pants and go-go boots, to tie-dye shirts and headbands, to hairy chests and leisures suits! I think we covered all those looks at the party last night!
We told Daddy we were going to get together and have a cook-out to celebrate his birthday, so he knew we were getting together, but he didn't know the theme or that we'd invited forty people! He was certainly surprised at all that, but I think even more surprised at the Elvis costume we'd ordered for him to wear! After all he was the King of the Party!
This is my daddy and his siblings. I think they represented the 70's from beginning to end!
Surprise!!
I love all the costumes.

Looks like great fun. Everyone sure looks like they belong in the 70's. Love your Rhoda head scarf - I used to love that show.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT! Of course I would, we did this theme for my sons birthday over the summer. We had the best time as did the kids who of course have no clue what the 70's were like. You guys look great, thanks for sharing.
