We are having a 60's theme party for our parents.....any suggestions on party decorations or food? We have some things...lava lamps, smiley face stuff, retro print fabric....any other ideas? Hopefully some that are cost effective?? What about food? What candy was popular then? Drinks? Main dinners?

Since it sounds like you are already on your way to a hippie party, add peace signs, tie dye, daisies, plenty of bright colors. Music should include Crosby, Stills and Nash, the Doors, the Stones, Beatles, Hendrix, and John Lennon.
While you don't have to spend this much, it's a cute look.

For food that was popular in the 60's, try fondue, either cheese with bread to dip or chocolate with fruit to dip. You could even have both if you wanted. Astronaut food was big, since man was going into space and landing on the moon, everyone wanted to eat food like they ate in space. Orange Tang was big, you can still find it today next to the Kool-Aid. Chex Mix, granola, cola, root beer, jelly beans, etc...
Try the "typical 60's candies" link in the first paragraph for a listing of more sweets that were popular.

Ice cream sodas were very popular back then and rootbeer floats. I remember that from my mom telling me.
