Going retro as a concept for a shower party is one of the easiest bridal shower ideas that can be realized with less effort but can bring lots of enjoyment. Why not? Coming to the party in your bell bottoms and afro look is already fun in itself.

Since retro is a very broad concept, narrow down your options by determining if which era you would like to concentrate on. Will it be the hippies of the 60s or the punks of the 80s? Once you have already identified, you can get started by sending out invitations that are also retro-inspired. Probably, an invite that resembles a concert pass to a Cyndi Lauper contest or a CD of the Beatles will do.

However, the best part of all is to have your guests come in their authentic retro-inspired costume. Seeing them in their colourful striped leggings with all those pink and green looped earrings will bring back memories of Madonna from the 80s.

Games must also be retro-inspired. Those that require celebrity names must be those of actors and actresses that are popular during a popular era. Keep the party alive with disco songs or set the mood with mellow tunes from the past.
