Considerations

• Party favors showcasing the spirit of the 1980s work well when incorporated into the rest of the party for decorative purposes, plus guests can take them home when the party is over. Cassette tapes featuring 1980s bands and leg warmers represent a few ideas.
  
  

Function

• Favors for a 1980s party work well for an 80s-themed party of course, however they also work well for other party themes. Consider using 1980s party favors for parties featuring popular cartoon characters of the 80s, such as Strawberry Shortcake, or costume parties with a rock-and-roll or band theme.
