50'S NIGHT FOR GIRLS!  This will be a dinner party, so it should be late in the day like 5:00 PM.  INVITATIONS:  Have a 50's style old car on the front, the invitation can say "Cruise on over for a Hot Roddin' good time".  TO START OUT, have the girls put their hair back in pony tails with scarves (from the dollar store, use the silky ones). You could even make some "circle skirts" Just cut a big circle out of some material and cut a hole in the center and sew in an elastic waistband.  THEN THEY CAN EACH MAKE A "COOKIE-BURGER". You will need to have frosting in red, white and yellow, preferably in actual ketchup, mayonnaise, and mustard jars with spreading knives.  For the lettuce, take some coconut and tint it green with food coloring. Cheese is a yellow gumdrop flattened with a rolling pin. To make a cookie burger, you take two vanilla wafers, on one of them, add just a little bit of really thin glaze, and sprinkle sesame seeds on it. Give each girl a set of vanilla wafers, on the "Bottom Bun" they can spread one of the "condiments" and then place a little mint wafer of other round, chocolate covered cookie, about the same size as a vanilla wafer., then they can add another condiment and the lettuce and cheese, and finally, the last condiment goes on the top bun and they place it on top of their burger. This takes a little prep-work but the kids will have a blast doing it.  AT DINNER give the girls a menu, but instead of food, they have to order parts of a car.  For instance: Fuel Pump - Beverage; Intake manifold - Salad; Carburetor - Spaghetti; Steering Wheel - Garlic Bread; Clutch - Toothpick; Fan Belt - Parmesan Cheese; Upholstery - Napkin; Spare Tire - Green Beans. Etc. For the first course, they are allowed to choose four things, they may end up with Salad, Garlic Bread, Parmesan and a Napkin. For the second course, they may choose two more items, say spaghetti and green beans. And for the third course, they may order two more items, beverage and a toothpick, perhaps. FOR GAMES, you should play games with Music, preferably "Car songs" such as the Beach Boys Little GTO, etc. You could play musical chairs, freeze dance or "Hot potato" but use a stuffed car, if you can find one. I would suggest having dinner early in the party, so the kids can get up and dance around between dinner and cake time.  BE SURE TO TAKE A PICTURE OF THE GIRLS.  Maybe set up a poster of a 50's style convertible car with a girl driving and a cut-out where the girls can put their heads, or just a blow-up of a 50's style drive-in for a backdrop.  FOR THE CAKE, you could make it look like a winding road and put a 50's style hot wheels car on the road, or make a big round cake and decorate it to look like a record. (Use black paste icing from a decorating shop or it will just turn out gray). FOR DECORATIONS, if you have any, you could put the album covers (I mean record album covers, you know, those big plastic round things with grooves on them) and hang them around, and maybe make some records out of black construction paper.  Hope you have a great time at your party!
