I wanted our guests to bring a little of the 80's home with them, in the form of a party favor.
I put together favor bags filled with candy that I remember from my 80's childhood. I also had a variety of candy on the food table that were first introduced in the 80's. Remember; Gummi Bears, Jelly Belly's, Runts, Nerds, Pop Rocks, Reese Pieces, Cry Baby gum, Fun Dips, Big League Chew bubble gum, Blow Pops and Tootsie Pops?
How many licks DID it take to get to the center of a Tootsie Pop?
The other favor guests could take home with them were these 80's music CD's.I posted a want ad on Craigslist. I was looking for 80's music mixes. A nice man named Cory, who lived in Nampa, answered my ad. He said he had over 3,100 music CD's and would be willing to make me an 80's mix and burn me as many copies as I wanted. He said he'd only charge 1 CD per CD burned. What??! That seemed like a great deal to me and I told him I'd like to also give him some cash for his trouble.
Cory was QUICK and efficient. He had 2 different CD's (x 26) burned and ready for me within a day!
I put Jason's AWESOME 80's band photo on the label and they were set to go.
