Honestly, who doesn’t enjoy a theme party? It’s so exciting to get dressed up and pretend to be someone else… in some other place… at some other time. A few weeks ago, my family was invited to a friend’s 50s-themed 50th birthday party. The hosts went ALL out; they even rented a juke box!
Look at the creative, edible decorations!
50s family 🙂
I contributed maple pecan bars to the party. The bars don’t exactly have anything to do with the 50s theme… but no one seemed to care as they gobbled these bars up!
Here’s what I did to make the bars: First I whipped up some pecan pie filling. Then, instead of putting the filling in a pie crust, I put it on top of a shortbread crust and baked it in bar form, not pie form.
I LOVE LOVE LOVE themed parties!!! Or any event where I can dress in “costume” 🙂 For my birthday I plan to do either roller disco or “prom night” haha
Oh, and the pecan bars look yummy too. 🙂
Looks like so much fun.. and your pecan bars are awesome!
I agree so much with your below post about shelter dogs…. it really just infuriates me that people breed dogs when there are SO MANY dogs that are killed every single day that are desperate for homes and rescues for specific breeds.
i’m a wallflower at parties, but i am sneaky too, and i would snatch up all the tasty food while everybody else is being chatty. if there is a veggie themed party for all of us, i call asparagus. no wait, parsnip…no, a portobello…glad you had fun!
I’d love to have a theme party. My wedding would be ’40s or Mad Hatter tea party if I thought anyone would even appreciate it. (The wouldn’t.)
I demand a Mad Hatter tea party at some point in my life, though.
Chocolate vegan is a sensual pleasure in itself, existing in the same world .For myself, I can enjoy the mouth watering pleasure of chocolate… entirely by myself. Furtiveness makes it better.

I can’t blame them for happily devouring the bars, they look delicious!
Great that your whole family went!
Pecan bars go well with every party, I think.
Happy to oblige with a comment–how could anyone resist those pecan bars?! The 50s family looked even cuter than those guys in Happy Days. 😉
Those bars look delectable!
I, too, love a good theme party. 😀
What a fun party! And your bars look divine, mhhh!
And I am proud to announce that I HAD PECANS FOR THE FIRST TIME YESTERDAY! I think they taste pretty much like walnuts though =p
