Finding time just for the girls is next to impossible…and that’s if it ever makes it on the books, right?
As moms we are so centered on making sure the rest of the family gets their perfect balance of learning and fun time with others, we normally sacrifice our own. But it’s not “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” when you reconnect with your friends, it’s also about your own personal wellbeing and setting a good example to your children that life isn’t just about working ALL THE TIME. However, a party doesn’t always have to look like it came off Pinterest. Sometimes you just have to put a date on the calendar, send out some texts and say “come on over!”
And that’s exactly what I did a few days ago when I found myself without a huge list of to-dos…I sent out a text and said let’s do it old-school and remember what it was like before Internet, kids and responsibilities and eating pizza was the purpose of the party: 80s Pizza Party!
With only a few hours to spare before the gals showed up, I went to Walmart to pick up a few key things for an 80s theme including TONY’S® Pizza (now 30% larger and with pizzeria taste!)
And one new item that I didn’t get to enjoy while I was growing up in the 80s – an adult beverage. Keeping up with the evening’s theme I grabbed two ingredients to make our own wine coolers – filling up the glass with a little rose and a splash of sparkling strawberry lemonade (less than $.64 at Walmart.)
While I knew the night would be full of fun and laughs, setting the tone for the evening I found the perfect set of 80s movies with greatest pizza moments of all time.
- Mystic Pizza (where we all fell in love with Julia!)
- Fast Times at Ridgemont High
- Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
- Dazed and Confused
- The Breakfast Club
Instead of drinking every time we hear a word, we’d eat pizza every time the stars in the movie did, too.
With the help of TONY’S® Pizza and Netflix, I had a fun party in less than 30 minutes. And for less than $3 per pizza, the whole party only cost about what it did for a pair of Keds, circa 1988. Now don’t wait for the special occasion, just send out some texts, download this coupon to save $.75 off any TWO Tony’s Pizza (now until 6/30/15 and while supplies last.)
Don’t you wish life was still as easy as a party with pizza, popcorn, pop and popular quotes?
What a fun party! We watch 80’s movies in our house all the time.
I love all of these movies! This looks like so much fun. I haven’t had Tony’s before but I bet it is a lot less expensive than ordering it!
This is the party for me! A party full of nom noms. Yay!
Pizza party at Mama’s house! That’s my favorite kind of party, just FYI. 😉
I love this idea! We would totally watch Sixteen Candles for our 80’s movie! I love the thought of making your own wine coolers. Yum!
I’m a huge 10 Things I Hate About You fan, and Ferris Bueller’s Day off, but I’ve never seen Fast Times, believe it or not! I think I’m overdue for a proper movie night!
All that food totally made me feel like I flashed back to the 80’s. I am in love with Molly Ringwald movies. 16 Candles is my very favorite and then Pretty in Pink.
Aww, I love Fast Time at Ridgemont High! Sean Pean looks like such a baby! This is my kind of night!
Heck yeah! I would love an 80s night pizza party! Tony’s pizza always brings back great memories for me of being a kid and having friends over.
This would be so much fun. Pizza and girls night go hand in hand. Ferris Bueller’s Day off is one of my favorite movies.
This is such a fun idea for a mommy’s night! I love getting together with my mommy friends but rarely have the energy for anything too taxing.
Now this sounds like a fun girls night to me. I love 80’s night and everything 80’s. Thanks so much for sharing. Will have to try to put this together, myself.
Fast Times! That brings back some memories. I’d like doing an 80s pizza party/ movie night.
Now that’s my kind of pizza party!! It’s been a long time since I’ve seen those movies, love breakfast club.
This looks so fun! Love the idea of an 80s night pizza party! 🙂
Now this sounds like the perfect party! You’ve got all the right ingredients.
HOw fun! I really love themed parties! 80s are always a blast.
Tony ‘ pizza is great for movie night. We have it a lot. I love the Breakfast Ckub
SUCH a fun idea! we are having a girls weekend coming up in June and I will propose that we do your 80’s night.
