As the title says really, need ideas for a party this weekend. We don't want to spend too much money so nothing it and especially looking for ideas for a man. I am struggling to think of anything apart from leg warmers.

Just google 80s bands and look for inspiration! Not difficult to dress up as Wham or something similar.

I wore a neon pink t-shirt, black ra-ra skirt, leg warmers and converse, then put my hair in a super high ponytail and put in some neon orange dangling earrings and a neon blue string of beads. I didn't actually by anything, it was just stuff I had in the house.
