4. Space age

The space age. The next 60’s theme party idea to hit the stage is wonderful for those who love all things lunar landings and rocketships. Taking it back to the historic beginning is something that space geeks might not associate much with a 60’s theme party, but trust us, it’s an awesome idea nonetheless.

Costumes, quizzes, space themes, props, and food from the cosmos (not limited to Mars or Milky Way candy bars). This idea, like the vastness of the universe, has endless opportunities. A film night would be epic for this night. Make it happen at this incredible Outer Space Place themed apartment in Philadelphia!

5. Rock out

The sixties was a wonderful era for rock music, thanks to musicians like The Beatles, Jimi Hendrix, and The Rolling Stones changing the face of the genre forever. 60’s theme party ideas that involve rock music can be endlessly exciting. For instance, you can host a ’60s rock costume and karaoke night.

Is your place just not classic rock enough? No worries, that’s where Peerspace can help you! A couple of our favorite venue options include this rock ‘n’ row warehouse in Nashville and this retro boho rock and roll lounge in San Francisco!

6. Airstreaming

The 60s were all about gathering with friends and hitting the road to travel to far-out locations. Let this serve as one of your ’60s theme party ideas by renting a Peerspace airstream and playing flower child for the day! For instance, this 1969 Airstream Overlander and tropical lawn space in Vista, CA makes for a dreamy 60s party space! It includes a deck adorned with string lights and tropical plants to help set the scene.

For those who love the outdoors, connecting with nature, and getting back to the basics, this idea flows naturally from your likes and values.

7. Costume contest

Next up on the 60’s theme party ideas is a costume contest. Although a costume contest has been discussed before, it is not limited to the suggestions above. The key quality of a 60’s theme costume party is that it is not limited to one niche area of the ’60s. You can relive your favorite Ross moment and dress as a sputnik, all while your friend is dressed as Bob Dylan.

Also consider handing out 60s-inspired gifts like boxes of Jell-o or vintage vinyl records to those who wear the best costumes.

8. Arts and crafts

If there’s one thing that came out of the ’60s that’s here to stay, it’s tie-dye. Imagine having an entire party dedicated to tie-dying your clothing. The creative aura in the room would be magnificent; each person would become a symbol for individual expression. Just like back in the ’60s. Of course, wonderous pieces of artwork, artistic structures, and daisy chains can complete the creative masterpiece of this 60’s theme party idea.
