80's Theme Bday Party Ideas (Adult)

Helping out a friend.

Its at a restaurant so most will be provided as for food, tables, flatware etc.

Wanted to add some little touches.

DISCO BALL for starters- where can i find a wannabe real one?

What else would you incorporate?

FAVOR idea?

TIA!

-doing so of my own research but if anyone did one it would help.

You could prob find a disco ball at Spencer's.

I'd do some throwback candy as favors...

Razzles, Big League Chew, Bazooka gum, etc.

OR - if you could find someone to do a big button like we used to have of NKOTB - you could do it with the birthday person's picture. I have no earthly idea how you would go about getting those done though.

OR - a mirrored key chain, like we used to get at flea markets? They were HUGE as favors at Sweet 16s. I like this idea best.

Obviously make a playlist of 80s hits.

Centerpieces - maybe do a different thing at each table? A pac-man CP, My Little Pony CP, He-Man, Transformers, etc. Like a small balloon CP with a mylar balloon in a character - most of those shows came back and/or are still around.

I believe DH got our disco ball and strobe lights (for a 70s theme birthday party) at Party City.
