I love the 80’s…The Music. The Clothes. The Make up. The Candy. I love all of it. This weekend I was able to enjoy all of that 80’s goodness with some amazing friends at my “Sisters” Inspired 80’s Pajama Party! We took movie night to a whole other level and I loved every minute of it.
Theme
The main event was watching the movie “Sisters”, so an 80’s theme was perfect but being comfortable was also key. That is why I made it a pajama party.
Decorations
Thankfully a movie night meant not having to do a lot of decorating. Although I did but some 80’s plates, napkins and hanging decorations at Party City to serve as a back drop for some pics, I focused on the candy (details below) because movies are better with popcorn and candy.
Food
I opted for foods you’d find at a movie theater like pizza, hot dogs and nachos. I also made some chili for the nachos and hot dogs. Of course popcorn and candy were a must!
- Big League Chewing Gum, Blow Pops, Laffy Taffy, Nerds, Now & Laters, Pixy Stix, Ring Pops, Pop Rocks and Tootsie Pops, Smarties (Dollar Tree)
- Bottle Caps, Gobstoppers, Hot Tamales, Lemonheads, Mike & Ike, Milk Duds, Red Hots, Sour Patch Kids, Starburst, Swedish Fish and Sweetarts (Walmart)

Fun
- Movie: “Sisters” on DVD * 2 disconnected sisters summoned home to clean out their childhood bedroom before their parents sell the family house. Looking to recapture their glory days, they throw one final high-school-style party for their classmates, which turns into the cathartic rager that a bunch of ground-down adults really need.
- Photos: 80’s Photo booth props…taking polaroid pics with the Fujifilm Instax Mini 8 Instant Film Camera made it even more fun.
- Music & Dancing: I used an app to stream 80’s music while people arrived and we ate but you can always purchase an 80’s CD or bust out your mixed tapes.
*I was provided with a Sisters Inspired Package that included the DVD and a few other goodies to help make my 80’s pajama party gnarly!
