Totally 80s Birthday Parties in St. Louis
Milestone birthdays deserve a story, and the decade many guests grew up in tells it better than a slideshow. A Soulard milestone can retain the neighborhood setting and add a portrait wall that makes the guest of honor unmistakable. From Grove creative gathering rooms to homes in Clayton, the night centers on the birthday star.
How It Works for Totally 80s Birthday Party
Photo booth and crowning moment
A neon photo booth greets guests at the door, and a balloon-arch portrait set hosts the big moment: the birthday guest crowned like it is prom night. In the Central West End we light it so the photo is frameable.
Glam station and wigs
Scrunchies, slap bracelets and airbrushed hats with the guest of honor's name become party favors. We size stations for downtown St. Louis loft floors and private homes alike.
The birthday soundtrack
We build the playlist around the year the guest of honor graduated, then let the DJ read the room. Add a live sax for the toast and the room goes wild. It is a format Clayton office groups and St. Louis neighborhood celebration hosts keep asking for.
Games for the grown-ups
A cluster of classic cabinets and a host-led costume contest give everyone something to do. Teens at Clayton family birthdays often win the arcade.

Frequently asked questions
Is it fun for guests who aren't from the decade?
Yes. Kids and grandkids dominate the cabinets, while the guest of honor's friends own the dance floor in the St. Louis downtown loft district.
Can we personalize the décor with the guest of honor's name?
Yes. A custom neon sign with their name or age is the most popular birthday add-on we offer in St. Louis, and it makes a great keepsake. We schedule around Midwest indoor winters and autumn alumni weekends, from the Grove to Soulard.
Can the crowning be a surprise?
Absolutely. The host times it with your signal, the DJ drops the right song and the portrait set is ready. It works in Clayton homes too.
Can you set up at a private home?
Yes. We regularly produce birthdays in Soulard and Clayton homes, fitting the booth, cabinets and dance lighting into living rooms, patios or tents.
