Party City, or a similar party store, is probably the best place to look. For theme parties, sometimes the most important part isn't the decorations, but whether or not people dress up. Make sure everyone is decked out in poodle skirts, Mary Janes, white t's, and cuffed pants. You can go to any store that sells music for CD's with the best music of the 50's. You could try Circuit City, Best Buy or even Target.
Hanging old records would be cool too, but records can be expensive. If you're looking for a cheaper thing with the same look, use construction paper!
Maybe you could even rent a Jukebox or something fun like that!

A Halloween theme is cool and hire a palm reader or psychic. Another fantastic idea : Have everyone create their own hand painted t-shirts ! It's really cool & loads of fun. Just try to get everyone's correct size for t-shirts and Google all the supplies you'll need for a great time. Besides, all your friends will have something to remind them of you're special day for quite sometime. You can make a game of it also by offering little consolation prizes for the prettiest, ugliest, coolest, most creative, ...you get the idea. My daughter is now 28 and one of her childhood friends went to visit her and showed her the shirt she made from my daughter's 5th birthday party. It's a wonderful idea and can have lasting memories ~ ENJOY & Have fun !

I did this when I was younger it was so much fun. If you can find old records from the 50's you should hange them on the walls. You can also check partycity.com or the store itself they usually have a nice selection. Check out Best Buy or Circuit City for some compilation cds of music. Soda fountains and ice cream fountains were big back then and when I did this party we had a make your own sundae station, it was so much fun!

If this is going to be a big party in a hall, look at this site for some great decorations. http://www.StumpsProm.com
If this is going to be a house party, look at http://www.mninternational.com or http://www.orientaltrading.com
For other decorations, look at the great 50's themed decorations at Party City or Party Plus stores.

For my graduation party, which was similarly themed, I went to a local antique shop and found old magazine advertisements (I found all sorts for candy, cars, makeup!) and hung them on the wall. It makes it really unique and interesting!!
Go to a specialty candy shop and buy candy that came out and was popular in the 50's (example: Mary Jane's) and have them in bowls on your guest tables.

You could go to thrift stores and buy used records to hang from the ceiling and put on the walls, if they're not from the 50's, just make a new label to tape on with names of songs and groups from the 50's. You can go to http://www.partypro.com/items.asp?Cc=50THEME
to shop online.
