Looking to have a groovy birthday party? Go grab your lava lamp and bell bottoms, cause we’ve got some tips to turn your place into a happenin’ pad with some ’60s decorating tips from Evite:

Lighting will play a crucial role in setting the stage for your ’60s theme party. Stock up on colored bulbs to give the place a groovy, colorful glow. If you can get your hands on some strobe lights or lava lamps, you’ll be able to create an instant psychedelic vibe. Love beads, flower garlands and yellow smiley faces are not in short supply and should be easy to find online or at your local party store.

Don’t forget, the ’60s were not all about peace and love. They were also a celebration of modernist furniture, pop art, Vespa scooters and the British Invasion. So there are plenty of creative ways to decorate for this theme. Place Campbell’s tomato soup cans around the house, hang round paper lanterns or British flags, or go space-age with moons, rockets and silver accessories.
