    Red face Ideas for a beach party???

    Hey all
    I'm in the process of organising my dads 50th b'day and we're having a beach party whoo hoo!!!
    Has anyone got any ideas for decorations/food/drinks???
    We were thinking sand in the backyard, blow up beach balls and toys, umbrellas in the drinks etc...
    Any help greatly appreciated

    I'd be thinking along the lines of the 50s beach movies (Frankie Avalon & Anette Funachello).

    Of course I'd have things like blow up kids pool filled with blue jelly & have a few "fake" sharks in there & have jelly wrestling. But I have a sick sense of humour.

    Oh yeah - Beach Blanket Bingo!! A perfect theme for a 50th party.

    Get those torches for the backyard at Bunnings.

    It's an old movie with Annette Funicelleo and Frankie Avalon. You know those shiny, happy 50's movies where things are 'swell', and all of a sudden they start dancing in the sand with their surfboards......with the big HAIR and polka dot bikinis?

    How about tropical fruit platters,big bowl of fruity punch,and lots of finger foods.BBQ,
    Maybe you could use large candles for decoration,how about some cheap fishing net and buy some cheap plastic fishes,crabs,sharks etc....from the cheap shops.
    Bannanna lounges,you could set up a limbo sticks for some fun,play some groovy 60`s music. I?m sure your Dad will have a lovelt time.

    You could get lei's for everyone to wear as they come in the door - the Reject shop or $2 shop have them pretty cheap - or you could get lei's for the boys and a flower for the girls hair!
    Can't go wrong with pretty ****tails or a nice fruity alcoholic punch for drinks.
