The Event: Decor & Activities
The first thing you will need to do is plan out the event. If you are traveling, you will need to figure out the transportation and lodging for your members. When looking for a location, an old ski lodge or hotel with a vintage feel would be perfect. You can also opt to rent out a cabin in the woods for a more authentic experience. If you are staying in town, you will need to find a venue if you do not want to host at your house. You will need to make sure the venue is large enough for all of your guests and for lots of decor. Speaking of decor, in order to truly get that 80s in Aspen/Ski Lodge feel your decor will need to include both neon and ski gear. You can get a blacklight and decorate with glow-in-the-dark signs and hand out glow-in-the-dark bracelets and necklaces. For the ski side of things, you can decorate with skis and ski poles, fake snow, and mountain backdrops (unless you have the real thing). Of course, you need something fun to do while at a formal. The best activity to do is to dance the night away. Whether you are playing on aux or hiring a DJ/band your music will need to include modern and 80s music. Some other activities you can do are eat together as a fraternity, go bowling, or play games. These ideas will help you throw the perfect 80s in Aspen themed formal.
