The release of the cult film “Hipsters” gave us the groundwork for the birth of an amazing idea - organizing a themed wedding in the style of a dude. Hipsters are a Soviet-era subculture that emerged in the post-war 50s and 60s. The dudes stood out among the crowd with their bright outfits, daring makeup, recklessness and a great desire to live a full life.

Unfortunately, we don’t have a time machine and we can’t go back in time, but organizing an enchanting retro wedding is quite possible. The most important thing is to pay attention to every little detail, and then you and the guests of the holiday will be able to feel the fun and fiery atmosphere of a “stylish” wedding.

Wedding invitations in dude style

So, the wedding date has already been set, the guest list has been drawn up, and the restaurant has been booked, which means it’s time to think about invitations for guests.

Bright multi-colored postcards are suitable as invitation cards.

Or you can come up with a more original wedding invitation, for example, giving each potential guest a musical record or a mirror ball.

Also good options for invitations are aged photographs of the bride and groom or hand-drawn cards. In the era of the 60-70s, it was customary to give handmade cards to each other.

Celebration decoration in dude style

Room selection: The biggest and biggest advantage of holding a celebration in the “Hipsters” style is that you won’t have to worry about choosing a venue for the wedding.

Any restaurant or even a cafeteria that has not seen renovation since the Soviet era will do. And if you have a cafe in your city, decorated in the “beat” style, then it will be the best place for a stylish wedding.

The room should preferably have a dance floor with a parquet floor that can be polished to a shine. A small scene wouldn't be out of place either.

Wedding hall decor: To decorate a banquet hall with your own hands, you need to get rare items. Such props as a gramophone, typewriters, rotary phones, reel-to-reel tape recorders, records, alarm clocks are suitable. You can look for them at your grandparents' home. Place a soda machine in the hall if you can get one.

Create a festive wedding atmosphere with the help of garlands, ribbons, streamers, balloons, tinsel, and records. The red drapery of the hall with fabric and the listed accessories will help recreate the atmosphere of the “Cocktail Hall”. Hang a shiny mirror ball under the ceiling, which was so popular in Soviet-era discos, and don’t forget about the light and music.

The interior in the style of dudes can also be diversified with propaganda banners, old photographs of idols of the 50s and 60s, and posters in the “Pin Up” style depicting beauties of that time.

Contrasting wall decoration. To do this, make a bright drapery on one wall, and decorate the other wall in prim gray tones. On the first one, hang posters with slogans about living for your own pleasure, freedom of choice and quotes from the movie “Hipsters”:

• “You need to squeeze the redneck out of yourself drop by drop” A.P. Chekhov;
• “Hey dudes - hello! We are slithering along the Ford, leaving the sad rednecks behind...”;
• “Do you want to spend time with Benefit? Come to Broadway!";
• “Here you don’t need higher, stronger, faster! You need some drive here!”;
• “It’s good when all people are different!”

And on the second wall hang posters with ideological statements:

• “From the saxophone to the knife - one step”;
• “Chained by one chain, bound by one goal...”;
• “Today he plays jazz, and tomorrow he will sell his homeland”;
• “I will not lie under the dude”;
• “The saxophone is also a weapon, a weapon of our class enemy.”

Table decoration. In the days of dudes, separate small tables that stood against the wall were fashionable at weddings. Give up the idea of ​​a long communal table in the middle of the room. The most important thing is that there is plenty of space for dancing.

Try to decorate each table with bright and shiny details. Replace traditional white tablecloths with satin tablecloths in loud colors. The theme will include dishes with the inscription “Catering”, cut glasses, crooked forks, signs with the inscription “No Beer”.

Wedding procession

The most appropriate cars in the wedding cortege of a stylish wedding will be retro cars. Pobeda, Chaika, old Volga models and other cars that fall under the definition of “retro car” are suitable. If you want, rent a tram or bus.

How to decorate wedding transport? The decor of wedding cars should be bright and cheerful. Multi-colored balls and ribbons will do.

Wedding dresses in the style of dudes

Bride's outfit

Since a wedding styling party involves a lot of dancing, the bride needs a comfortable and impressive outfit. The most suitable outfit is a knee-length dress with a full skirt. It is better to choose the color of the dress white and complement it with bright jewelry. Decorate the dress with a satin belt, weave a ribbon of the same color into your hair, choose bright high-heeled pumps to complement your outfit, and don’t forget about stockings and a handbag. Also, large beads, large clips and bracelets are appropriate. The color of the jewelry can be red, yellow, purple, green or blue.

“Stylish” brides usually have a simple hairstyle, prefer to highlight their eyes with arrows in their makeup, and paint their lips with lipstick in catchy, rich colors.

Groom's outfit

The groom's image should match the bride's image and style. If, for example, the bride is wearing a green belt and shoes, then the groom can choose a tie or shirt of the same color.

When choosing a suit, you should pay attention to its cut and material. Pants and jacket may differ in color. Having chosen black pipe trousers (the most fashionable trousers among dudes), you can safely wear a bright jacket with a large check. The shirt should be a solid color, such as pink or green. Choose a tie with bright patterns like “Fire in the Jungle.”

Pay special attention to shoes. These should be narrow boots with laces made of bright colored suede. And if you can’t find shoes of this color, then simple bright sneakers will do. They will fit perfectly into the image of a dude. Also don’t forget about bright socks that match the color of your shirt.

A dude is not a dude without a “Cock” hairstyle. Comb your hair and lift it up, combing it back and fixing it with gel or hairspray.

Guest outfits

It's important to let your guests know about your upcoming wedding theme in advance so they can think carefully about their outfits. Any flashy outfit will do. The main thing is that the accessories stand out against the background of the main outfit.

Women's clothing: fluffy, short, plain dresses or dresses in variegated colors, complemented by belts, jewelry and shoes in contrasting colors.

Clothes for men: trousers paired with plaid jackets, trousers with suspenders, plain shirts in eye-catching colors, bright ties, sunglasses, and other typical outfits of the 60s.

Photo shoot and video shooting of a wedding in the style of a dude

Photography needs to be approached with special creativity. Wedding photos should capture genuine joy and fun. The ideal place for a photo shoot is a photo studio filled with a lot of retro-style attributes. Ancient streets with old buildings and vintage cars will create a good background.

Traditional video shooting can be replaced with a parody film of the hit movie “Hipsters.” We have found for you a very striking example of a wedding film on the theme of dudes.

Entertainment program in style

Meeting and entertaining guests

An original meeting of wedding guests will allow them to plunge into the festive atmosphere even before entering the wedding hall.

You can put a guy in a drunk T-shirt with a cigarette and an accordion at the entrance, singing the song “Man and a Cat,” or you can put a strict grandmother as a watchwoman who, in a comic form, will give instructions to guests about good behavior at the holiday. Also place a black marketeer, secretly selling various items of clothing, bright jewelry and other attributes from under his cloak that will allow guests to complement their outfit.

Dress up the toastmaster as a party worker, Komsomol activist or pioneer leader. Let congratulations on the wedding from the government and party be heard throughout the evening. And the bride can be kidnapped by vigilantes.

Music

At a wedding organized in the style of dudes, music in the style of boogie-woogie, jazz, rock and roll, and blues should be played. Songs by Elvis Presley, Eddie Rosner, Duke Ellington, Glen Miller, Buddy Holly and other forbidden singers of that time would be appropriate. The music of the group “Secret” and “Bravo” is ideal. And, of course, soundtracks for the films “Hipsters”, “Sun Valley Serenade”, “Brion”, “Train to Chattanooga”.

Stylish lexicon

At a wedding stylized as a dude, it would be useful to use a characteristic vocabulary. Some of the most popular words used at such a party include the following:

• gerla – girl;
• dynamist - a woman who “dumped” a guy;
• drink - drink in company;
• manyushki - money;
• style - dance Western dances;
• dude - guy;
• chuvikha – girl;
• sovparshiv – domestic clothes;
• shoes - boots.

November 19, 2015

Another birthday is slowly approaching. I would like to note that it is fun and original, but at first glance there are not many options. The annual feast is boring, the nightclub is banal... Moreover, admitting to yourself that you are no longer a teenager and spontaneous fun is more luck than a guarantee is not at all easy. Here is one rather creative proposal for you.

Birthday in Boogie-Woogie style!

Finally, there is a reason to turn into a bright, spontaneous, bold character from the distant 40-50s! Checkered shirts, dresses with large polka dots, colored socks, satin ribbons, red lipstick, ruffles... An absolute contrast between everyday dullness and a daily routine thought out down to the minute! Loud laughter, dancing until the morning, telling jokes, singing with a guitar - in a word, everything that you haven’t done for many years. Well, or they have never done it at all in their life!

It should definitely be “designed” by the birthday boy. Otherwise, there is a high risk of not pleasing the hero of the occasion. If this is an active, enterprising person, then perhaps organizing fun will be his best gift!

Here are some fairly detailed tips and a scenario for the event organizer. All of them have been tested by the experience of my good friend:

1. Who to invite.

Invite only your closest friends to your Boogie-Woogie birthday party. It’s impossible to foresee everything, but if there is a person who will endlessly sniffle, sigh, wrinkle his forehead and knit his eyebrows... You are no longer a child, and there is absolutely no need to call “the whole class.” You have worked hard all year and deserve a good rest in the circle of extremely welcome guests!

2. Invitations.

Devote a couple of hours of time to designing original invitations. Don’t hold back: on small envelopes made of white cardboard, draw colored balls or any scribbles with colored pencils. Perhaps the “handmade” box will contain foil, glitter, beads - great! It is not necessary to make them perfectly proportional - the main thing is bright, in tune with the intended mood!

3. Place and design.

An ideal option would be a separate nightclub hall or a bar with a dance floor. The room doesn't have to be very big, you need to decorate it! Accordingly, the larger the room, the more decorations will be needed. The decoration of the hall is an important moment, since those invited should feel the magic of what was planned. In this particular case, don’t skimp on the balloons: the more, the better! New Year's garlands and a disco-style mirror ball for the ceiling would be useful. Two or three posters with a painted turntable, a retro microphone on a stand and the inscription “Elvis” will wonderfully complement the interior! Don't know how to draw? Such posters are quite popular now - print them from the Internet. If you manage to bring a real vinyl record player or saxophone, give yourself a high five!

4. Time of year and start time of the celebration.

This style of birthday party is best for spring and summer birthday people: you will get great photos on the street, and you won’t have to carry all your clothes in bags so as not to wrinkle them under fur coats and down jackets. Invite guests to 19.00. Ask them to be responsible and punctual. The most relaxed and cheerful person should meet them. His task is to check the dress code, offer to buy something “under the counter” (watch, tie, handkerchiefs) and give the password. By paying five rubles for a shiny wig, the invitee's anticipation of the upcoming entertainment will automatically ignite, and a password invented on the fly will turn on his imagination. Daylight hours will allow you to take bright pictures in daylight,

sit on the summer terrace, looking at each other, chatting about unimportant things.
After all, you probably haven’t seen one of the invitees for a couple of months, or even six months! Then we go into “fun and drive non-stop” mode!

5. Dress code.

Think about your costumes in advance. Make sure no one ignores your request to dress like a “hip”!

Help those who are having difficulties. This will save especially suspicious “white crows” from unnecessary worries. The main rule: look stylish, despite the minimum limitations of your imagination! You don't have to buy an expensive suit. Many people have almost all the components of a super outfit at home, the main thing is to combine them correctly! A bright dress can be easily decorated with satin ribbons, using the same ribbon as an element of the hairstyle.
Bright large beads and red lipstick are not in short supply. You don't have to be a first-class designer to make a butterfly for your shirt with your own hands. Frilly socks and plastic jewelry can be bought in any underground passage. Browse the internet for hairstyles that were fashionable at the time. Basically they are simple: a little mousse, hairspray and voila!

6. Music.

Fun “like dudes” involves a lot of dancing and active competitions. Everything should be loud, expressive, on the verge of decency! Without preparing the appropriate conditions, you may not achieve either drive, rock and roll, or the desired unforgettable impressions. Don't make the mistake of having 30 songs doing the rounds. Undoubtedly, there should be catchy music, legendary hits, things that promote relaxation or cause positive nostalgia! If you don’t want to hire a DJ, do the work yourself!
Here are some good examples: the Bravo group (“yellow shoes”, “give me this night”, “black cat”, “love girls”, “of course Vasya”), Zoo (“I love boogie-woogie”), Secret (“ major rock and roll"), Garik Sukachev ("my little baby"), Chaif ​​("17 years old"), Time Machine "old ship". And also a sea of ​​hits by Elvis Presley, Benny Goodman, Chuck Berry, BuddyHolly...

7. Competitions.

The audience should be well warmed up. Do not start competitions earlier than 3 hours after the start of the banquet. There are also a minimum of complexes and restrictions here. My options:

Competition "dance battle between guys and girls".

If there are “activists,” prepare a thematic pair dance that will excite the audience and prepare them for this competition. Both groups dance opposite each other to catchy music. The chosen “chief choreographer” shows the others the movements invented on the fly. The synchronicity and quality of execution are assessed. Be sure to choose an independent judge! It could very well be a birthday boy or a DJ!

“Striptease for the birthday girl” competition.

Two or three guys, to the song “You can leave your hat on” by Joe Cocker, slowly and synchronously write the name of the birthday girl in the air with the notorious fifth point. If she wants, then both her last and patronymic names. The best stripper gets a prize.

Competition "photo with a funny face". We conduct a simple photo shoot, compare each individual caricature, and the winner gets a prize! Be sure to take a group photo like this!

Competition "Choose your dance." From a bag of leaves, participants blindly draw a solo or pair dance, prepare for 5-10 minutes and go to the casting “all dance in the Boogie style.” Choose cool options: “Dancing like Elvis,” “Dancing like in Dirty Dancing,” “Dancing like in 9 and a Half Weeks,” and so on. Stock up on simple props and costumes - performers can be very responsible.

The reward prizes will be simple round emoticons made from cardboard. Two participants with the maximum number will compete for a real prize. Here, think of something more worthwhile as a reward: movie tickets, a good accessory, a gift certificate.

8. Drinks.

Save the wine and cognac for next year. On this day, only rainbow drinks with umbrellas, cherries, and twisted straws! For men - whiskey and cola, for women - martinis and a variety of “blue lagoons”, mojitos and “sex on the beach”. On the bar counter or a separate table, place a bottle of vermouth, vodka, liqueur, martini and several types of juice (cherry, orange, apple), cola and Sprite. Provide ice and suitable cocktail glasses. Place slices of lemon, orange, cranberry, cherry, and grapes into small saucers. Don't forget about the important little things: mint leaves, cinnamon, ginger. Here everyone can show their individuality and come up with their own personal cocktail! This, by the way, is another idea for the competition. The highlight will be the best taste and original name!

9. The ringleader.

If you decide to do without a toastmaster, be prepared to entrust this difficult task to yourself or to someone in charge. Such a holiday will die before it even begins if it is not provided with a high-quality source of energy, mood, and drive! In the case in the photo, the birthday girl is the organizer of the celebrations, so she did everything in the best possible way!

10. Menu.

Everything is simple here. All sorts of harmful things will be appropriate: hamburgers, country-style potatoes and fries, steaks. Place large containers filled with chips at the edges of the festive table, organize a delicious pyramid of chicken wings, beautifully lay out sliced ​​hard cheese and balyk. There must be sauces for different tastes: tartar, mustard, garlic, plum... Of course, an openwork tablecloth, multi-colored napkins, colored cardboard plates with “Happy Birthday” drawings (plenty in supermarkets) will be useful!

11. Finale of the holiday.

If at the end of a lively party everyone goes home, remain attentive and call a taxi for everyone. Don't forget to capture your farewell.

If this act ends at home, provide a huge sleeping place with blankets and a couple of films to choose from, a mandatory option, as it seems to me, is “Hipsters”. Maybe there will be some steadfast tin soldiers who will be happy to drink coffee while listening to a cheerful picture. And, of course, after rubbing their aching legs from pleasant fatigue, they will take a couple of funny photos of their exhausted sleeping friends. For a long memory, so to speak!

Have a most unique holiday!

Do you need a fun, energetic, bright and memorable corporate event? Then the dude style is exactly what you need! After all, this is a party, the theme of which takes the participants back to the times when their parents or even grandparents secretly listened to vinyl records, dressed brightly and catchily, and most importantly, rejoiced and had fun, despite universal condemnation.

A corporate party in the style of a dude implies unbridled fun, excitement, competitions and games that are on the verge of decency, tests for “weakness,” rock and roll and dancing, dancing, dancing!
In order for the corporate party participants to look like real dudes at the party, the thematic direction should be announced in advance. After all, every dude and gal (that’s what all the invitees will now be called) needs to choose clothes, hairstyles and make-up.

Where to hold a stylish party for a corporate event?

Hipsters are the rebellious youth of the 50s. They challenged the gray mass of the people and had fun to the fullest. But where did they hang out? There were 3 main options: semi-abandoned buildings far from residential buildings, apartments of the Soviet elite and a cocktail lounge. You can arrange a corporate event in the style of any of these places. For the first option, you will need an ordinary building with shabby walls, lamps without lampshades and rough Soviet furniture. But, most likely, few people today would want to have fun in such an environment. The second option - an elite apartment for the “golden” youth of that time implies the presence of carpets on the walls, high-quality furniture, a tube TV, and floor lamps. But in this case, the corporate party will turn out to be more homely.
The most suitable design would still be to design the hall as a cocktail lounge. After all, it was a legendary establishment where you could enjoy jazz and drink a variety of cocktails.

Decoration of the hall in the style of a dude

For the most accurate recreation of a cocktail hall, it is advisable to choose a room with a chic interior, where there are columns, spiral staircases and huge chandeliers. If you don’t find one, then any large hall will do, since you will need enough space for unrestrained dancing. It is also desirable that the hall have a parquet area, polished to a shine, and a small stage.

Since the hall is the calling card of the event, its decoration must be approached extremely responsibly. Decorate the room with multi-colored balloons, paper and electric garlands, streamers, and confetti. The hall looks very colorful, decorated with colorful ties, socks and open umbrellas.
The walls are decorated with posters with slogans of those times, photographs of jazzmen, old clippings from magazines and newspapers. Where would we be without vinyl records? This is one of the main decorative elements for a stylish party. You can hang them on the walls, create garlands from them, or arrange them in the form of collections in stacks or rows. A particularly characteristic attribute of that time would be “music on bones” - an old X-ray, cut to the shape of a plate and with a hole in the center.

Among the “large-sized” ones, excellent decor for a stylish corporate party would be a reel-to-reel tape recorder, a radio, a record player, and a soda machine.
One or more mirror balls, which were very popular in Soviet times, should be placed under the ceiling of the dance floor.

In a separate “corner” you can organize a place for a photo shoot. The background can be a retro car, a printed large photograph of Broadway (Gorky Street in Moscow in the 50s) or a Cocktail Hall cafe. You can also place a cheerful tantamaresque or a rock and roll microphone. A large number of different accessories should be placed nearby on the table - beads, hoops, scarves, ties, gloves, so that guests can try on a variety of looks.

Table setting and menu

For a corporate event in the dude style, a buffet table would be most suitable. It is better to abandon the traditional long table. It will be much more convenient to place several small buffet tables, and next to them there are couches that will allow guests to rest a little. Tables are covered with bright striped or polka dot tablecloths.
An excellent addition would be the presence of a barmaid who will serve guests.
The menu for a corporate party in this style does not include any frills, because the dudes were not going to eat, just have fun and dance.

Herring under a fur coat;
Olivie;
Tobacco chickens;
Grilled chicken;
Solyanka;
Jellied dishes;
Roast with mushrooms and meat;
Meat and fish cutlets;
Chops;
Sliced ​​meat, cheese, vegetables;
All kinds of tartlets, canapés and sandwiches;
Sandwiches with sprats are a must;
Baskets of salads and meat.

For a stylish party, drinks are a very important component. Champagne, punches, cognac, whiskey and cola, and lemonade are suitable. A good solution would be to serve lemonade in cut glasses. And the main drinks will, of course, be bright colored cocktails, decorated with umbrellas, twisted tubes, and pieces of fruit.
All dishes must be presented colorfully. You can come up with a separate stylish name for each dish and put a flag with the inscription near the plate.

For dessert there can be all kinds of USSR style cakes. And if you are planning a cake, then it is advisable to order it in the shape of a guitar, saxophone, record, tie, or have any style elements in the decoration.

Dude costumes for corporate events

Where can participants of a bright corporate party get suitable clothes? You can inspect your closet and your parents’ closet in the hope of finding something suitable, you can go to a vintage store, rent it, or have it made to order. In any case, you need to know what to look for and select.

Girls. Basic moments:

a dress or skirt in bright colorful colors or polka dots;
length to the knees or slightly below;
the skirt must be full with a petticoat;
"lantern" sleeves;
a wide belt or a ribbon tied in a bow, emphasizing the waist;
stockings with seams;
pumps;
gloves;
bright large beads, earrings, bracelets, glasses;
a headband or ribbon in the hair.

To fully match the image, you need to carefully lay your hair up a la “babette”, apply rich lipstick on your lips, and line your eyes with clear black arrows that widen towards the outer corner of the eyelid.

Men's outfit highlights:

pipe trousers, the length of which allows you to see your socks;
bright socks – yellow, red, orange, etc.;
double-breasted jacket, preferably checkered;
shirt;
colored tie;
suspender;
glasses;
shoes with pointed toes on platforms or ordinary shoes, but always polished to a shine.

If the length allows, it is better for a guy’s hair to be done in the style of Elvis, or simply comb it all back and grease it with grease for shine. If your hair is very short, you can wear a hat. The colors of clothing should be bright, but harmoniously combined with each other. For example, if you prefer a flashy suit, choose a more relaxed shirt. If the shirt chosen is very bright, then the suit can be brown.

If you don’t want to dress brightly and flashily for a corporate party, then you can take on the role of modest Komsomol members who came to talk some sense into the riotous youth.

If one of the invitees was unable to fully complete his image, then a black marketeer should come to his rescue. He is dressed in a long cloak, and underneath it hides real “riches” - ribbons, ties, suspenders, headbands, beads and much more.

Music

Music is very important for a stylish corporate event. It should be so hot that no one can stand still. The dudes danced boogie-woogie, twist, rock and roll, and rhythm and blues. Therefore, such a corporate event should include Elvis Presley, Louis Amstrong, Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Charlie Parker, Zhanna Aguzarova, Valery Syutkin and the Bravo group.

Entertainment for corporate events

Dancing with records

The participant is asked to split into pairs, each of which is given a record. She needs to be squeezed with her bellies and danced to various music. You can change the position of the plates, for example, press them with your foreheads or hips. The pair that doesn't drop the record the longest wins.

Twist with newspaper

The participants are given newspapers that need to be crushed and I dance the twist. The one who does it best will win.
Best Tie Stylist
Participants receive plain paints, brushes and ties, which must be painted in an original way. The owner of the most stylish taste will win.

Tape, tape...

Participants are divided into pairs. A long ribbon is wound around the girl’s waist, and the dance partner’s task is to unwind the ribbon from the partner, wrapping it around himself. Of course, the couple that succeeds in the manipulations the fastest will win.

Happy corporate event!

In contact with

A party in the style of “Hipsters” is perhaps the most colorful, crazy and fun of all possible options! A party of freedom and drive, absence of worries and problems, violation of prohibitions and rules, which means what we need!

Do you like such an energetic and inexhaustible rhythm? Then let's start preparing the most stylish party.

Let's introduce those same irrepressible and outrageous fashionistas of the Soviet era, admirers of American culture, lovers of incendiary music and dancing until the morning! In the post-war period, it was they who became the new generation, who did not accept party ideals and strived for a beautiful and easy life. It was self-expression, fueled by the desire to be different from everyone else. Bright clothes of incredible colors, unique slang, facial expressions and gestures. Yes, the dudes made their mark on the gray Soviet everyday life.

Invitation to a dudes party

Let's intrigue right away! We make the invitation to the dude party bright and exciting, like everything else associated with the upcoming holiday. You can do this from the comfort of your home by sending an email invitation or a funny voice message. A postcard in a musical style in the form of a saxophone looks symbolic. Simply cut it out of thick cardboard paper and paint it with bright colors.

But let's not look for easy ways - let's send a secret agent with an anonymous letter. Events such as a party in Soviet times were considered unacceptable and prohibited; only “our own people” could get there. Let the invitee feel like he has been chosen into some secret society, feel all the intrigue of the upcoming event, and of course approach the preparation of his image as a dude with all seriousness. An invitation to a “process” (a narrow party) must be anonymous, secret, and indicate a password for entry. Those who do not know the secret password at the entrance will have to get out and improvise on the go. Yes, and no usual names: only nicknames or names in the American style: Natalie, George, Alex, Kat.

“Stylish dress code” – clothes in the style of dudes

At first glance, it may seem that the dude put on everything that came to hand. This is not so, the dudes chose their clothes with special care, thinking through all the little details and combining colors.

The following were considered incredibly fashionable among dudes (guys):

• narrow trousers (pipe trousers),
• baggy jackets,
• bright stylish shirts
• colored ties and suspenders,
• fashionable shoes (shoes) and high socks (socks) of all colors of the rainbow,
• umbrellas-canes and glasses gave the dude's image a special chic.

It wouldn’t hurt to have a rare fountain pen, a captured cigarette case and a lighter in your jacket pocket. More than one self-respecting dude never missed a chance to show off his rare accessories.
A deck of cards with naked ladies can easily come in handy at a dude-style party.

The clothes of dude girls should be original, stylish and sexy. The female image of that time is compared to a blossoming flower bud.
Chuvas or chuvikhas (girls in the slang manner) wore wide fluffy skirts of various bright colors, with floral prints or polka dots.
An excellent choice would be a fitted crepe de Chine dress with a full petticoat, emphasizing the waist with a contrasting belt or bow. The belt should be in harmony with the shoes.
On your feet are low-heeled shoes or colorful ballet shoes, comfortable and convenient for energetic dancing.
Stockings with visible seams, colored or fishnet tights will perfectly complement the look. Accessories include bright beads, large earrings, bracelets, small bibi hats.

The result should be a fairly harmonious, stylish and feminine image, despite the presence of the most incompatible colors, the presence of contrasts and a large number of accessories.
Those who want to stand out from the crowd can choose a simple wardrobe in black, brown and gray tones. The so-called goons (representatives of the gray mass) will perfectly dilute with their presence mega-positive people in bright outfits.

The girls have neat hairstyles in the style of the 50s, decorated with beautiful headbands, bows and ribbons. The hairstyle should be stylish, but may have a slight negligence. Give preference to stylish curls, neat backcombing and voluminous babbettes.

The men have a funny and spectacular “cock” on their heads – a hairstyle in the style of Elvis Presley, open mannerism and imposing behavior.

Makeup dudes

The dude's makeup can be bright, but not vulgar. He must combine naturalness and self-confidence. A light foundation will give your skin a velvety feel, and a bright blush will highlight your cheekbones. Black voluminous mascara on the eyelashes and sharp arrows on the eyelids will make your look expressive and charming. Carefully applied red lipstick will make your lips more seductive.

Preparing a "hut"

It doesn’t matter what place you choose: a Soviet-era style bar, an apartment or a party planned outdoors. The main thing is that the atmosphere is filled with drive, music and positivity! When choosing a room, it will not be amiss to think about the design of the hall, taking into account the whole scope and emancipation of the dudes’ dances.

The decoration of the hall can be:

• bright balls and open umbrellas;
• lush bright flowers in vases;
• colorful ties and socks hung around the perimeter;
• clippings and cartoons from old newspapers;
• posters with slogans or posters with American jazz stars of the 50s.

And of course, the love for music and rock and roll, in particular, should be felt in everything.
You can decorate the room with fake records. Things made from records with your own hands look very original. These could be plates for snacks, napkin holders and even a chandelier. There are no limits to imagination!
It's not easy, but you can find an antique gramophone or tape recorder with reels. They will perfectly complement the surroundings.
Light music will add playfulness and mystery to the atmosphere, and glowing lights and garlands will decorate the hall in the style of dudes with flickering light.

Menu

The hipsters did not attach much importance to food. Their main goal was music and dancing. Yes, they preferred fashionable American delicacies: hamburgers, French fries, pizza, chips, ice cream in colorful scoops and Pepsi. But it was difficult to get delicacies, so at parties we mostly had our usual food: mimosa and winter salads, sandwiches with sprats and pickled cucumbers. Everything we managed to find.

To warm up well, dudes preferred cocktails based on cognac or whiskey mixed with cola. Girls will like lighter options, such as a martini with orange or cherry juice. The more varied the colors in the glasses, the better!

Select the menu according to the taste preferences of your company. Decorate, create, approach serving with your soul!

Music and dancing dudes

Music is the main thing at this crazy holiday! Make a musical mix of that time so that your feet start dancing on their own. Set the drive, fill the atmosphere with energy! And believe me, the guests will appreciate it!

It wouldn’t hurt to watch the movie “Hipsters” again. So to speak, he will be inspired by the spirit of the Soviet era, penetrate and recharge himself in order to convey positivity to the guests.

The rhythms of jazz and rock and roll will immerse you in a period of greedy absorption of music: Secret, Bravo, Aguzarova, Zero and Time Machine, from retro legends Louis Armstrong, Elvis Presley, Glenn Miller, Bing Crosby. You will make your task easier if you use a wonderful selection of music from the film “Hipsters”.

Script in the style of dudes

Meeting friends

We agree in advance with a couple of witty guys and at the entrance to the “hut” we put a “nook.” It’s more clear to say: a patrol to check the dress code of the dudes. This is where friends (friends) will need to know the password, match the style, and, of course, excellent ingenuity and a sense of humor (especially for those who do not know the password).

Guests will be greatly amused by a man in a jacket offering to buy “under the counter” “foreign” stylish things, for example, the necessary accessories for the “outfit”: glasses, ties and beads.

Entertainment dudes

A style party means dancing, dancing and more dancing! Plunge into the rhythms of rock and roll, recharge your batteries with boogie-woogie, twist and swing, slow fox and jive. Yes, dudes loved to dance. You can prepare and learn the basic movements of popular dance styles of those times. A great idea is to organize a master class with a professional dancer. Believe me, everyone will definitely appreciate the new experience!

Hipsters preferred simple comic games with humor and intrigue, open sexual appeal, taking on the “weak”. Entertainment should evoke laughter and strong emotions. Prepare nominations: “The most stylish dude and chick”, “the most fiery dancer”, “the most awesome dance”, “the most crazy music lover”, “slang virtuoso” and others.

Organize dances on newspapers, funny relay races, competitions for the most delicious cocktail and the wildest dance, games of spin the bottle and blind man's buff, parodies of Elvis Presley and other famous personalities of that time. In general, everything that your imagination is capable of. To let your guests relax a little, hold a quiz, an auction, or just questions about the slang of the dudes, their lifestyle, music and dances of that time.

There is an opportunity - invite a saxophonist. Don't forget to discuss the repertoire with him. The saxophone will add unforgettable emotions to the holiday!
If the size of the party allows, arrange a Fire Show, Bartender Show, cigar tasting and imitation casino.
Organize a photo session. It's fun! Guests will be happy to pose in front of the camera. And of course, the photographs will remind you more than once of yourself with pleasant memories of the party.

The main thing is to approach the preparation of the event with soul and spirit - unforgettable emotions are guaranteed!

Do you like the free and cheerful character of dudes and do you want to create the same atmosphere at your birthday celebration? Then take advantage of our ideas and tips for organizing a dude-style party.

When choosing a room for a holiday, you should decide in what format it will take place: active with dancing and an entertainment program, or will it be a fairly calm gathering in the company of your closest people.

If you are planning to organize an active program, then the room should have a sufficiently spacious dance floor for incendiary rock and roll and boogie-woogie.

You can decorate the room with posters depicting dudes or foreign rock and roll stars, or vinyl records.

Also, posters with images in the pin-up style would look appropriate on the walls.

Garlands made from old newspapers or books are a simple and effective way to decorate any room where a birthday party will be held in the “Hipster” style. You can also decorate the room simply with bright paper garlands.

Of course, it is worth warning guests about the dress code in advance. You can ask to completely match the style of the dude or simply add a certain detail (a fluffy skirt, a bright tie, a sweater with deer, etc.). This is best done in an invitation, which, by the way, can be made in the form of a record.

How to dress for a dude style party?

A man's look can consist of an elegant checkered jacket with wide shoulder pads, pipe trousers, and a narrow tie of bright colors, tied in a small knot. The hair is whipped into a cob.

In winter, a sweater with deer will be popular, and in summer, a bright Hawaiian shirt.

Girls should dress up in bright fluffy dresses and skirts. Large or small polka dots, floral prints (large poppies, roses, sunflowers), the brightest colors of fabrics and their contrasting combinations - say “no” to dull colors and boring styles.

High-heeled shoes, stockings with visible seams, bright makeup, gloves, jewelry and a “crown of the world” or “babette” hairstyle will help complete the look.
