1940s
Theme Party Invitation Ideas #1: Depending on your timeframe
for the party (what part of the 40s you are placing your party)
you might consider inviting your guests to a Victory party as though
the war was over! Two dates to consider in your invitations are May
8, 1945 (V-E Day celebrating the Allies victory in Europe) and August
14, 1945 (V-J Day celebrating the victory over Japan, signaling the
end of World War II.) |

Theme Party Invitation Ideas #2: Decorate your invitations like
a newspaper headline. There are SO many different possible headlines to
choose from. Just choose one that you feel will provide the right mood
for your party (i.e. which part of the 40s you are shooting for,
etc.)

Theme Party Invitation Ideas #3: Invite your guests to a community
dance to say goodbye to all of the soldiers being shipped out in the
morning. Conclude the party with a formal goodbye to all of the men
in the room and that everyone will be hoping for a safe return. That
would be a good time for each couple to give each other a goodbye
kiss. |

covers for your invitations. The graphic for them can be found by visiting
a couple movie poster websites and nabbing the image by either
right click/cutting and pasting or by right clicking/Save Picture As.

Base (for example, or wherever your party will be held) immediately!
