Lists of Lists

It's Monday and I'm avoiding preparations for our Executive Board Retreat this coming Thursday so, instead, I'm gathering inspiration for the party I'm planning--my mom's 50th! So that means lists. Lots of lists.

It's a period party, August 1961, and I'm trying to get it as accurate as possible (think Matthew Weiner, producer of "Mad Men").

I've been trying hard to become more of a DIY-er and I think I want to attempt a DIY photobooth (as seen here and here).

I like the idea of props like this

 Or maybe a more structured "booth" like this

I'd want 60s themed ones-- so an astronaut helmet, a pillbox hat, etc.

What do we think? Cheesy? Too much work? Lots of fun?
