Let's Go to the Hop...

Hands down, the BEST barbeque I've ever been to was an old college friend's summer BBQ. It was a hot and stick night in August and the food choices were limited to burgers, chips and Colas. The music was too loud, the heat was unbearable.

And that's exactly how my friends had wanted it.

See, this was a 50's diner party. A chance to gather with friends and cheap food, dancing to oldies and singing WAY off key. The planning was a piece of cake, thanks to Plum Party. My friends ordered the supplies, cooked some burgers and the atmosphere was set: an instant hit.

I learned that night that the best parties create an atmosphere of memories. We all (ok some of us) remember the 50's, or at least we've seen Back to the Future. So when we walked out to a decked out backyard with jukebox music playing, we knew exactly what to expect.

There wasn't a wallflower to be found. Whether it was the sockhop or the handjive, everyone contributed to our recollection of a time that we thought had been lost forever.

The best part? The root beer floats were TO DIE FOR.

What a great party theme idea. I think this would be perfect for a summer get together.
