It’s my birthday today and I get to spend it in another lockdown here in Toronto. Yay me. So in honor of the day my wonderful mother decided to send me into the world (May 4th), here is a Vintage Photo Tuesday post on Parties! Birthday Parties, Party Parties etc from the 1940s to the 1960s.

Let the photo party begin!

So many fantastic things to see at this birthday party or wedding shower, 1950s vintage photo. First up the 1950s Dresses..so cute! I also love the purse the lady in the white is holding (I own a similar one). Those chairs are fun too and of course all the cute 1950s hairstyles.

WOW the 1940s hairstyle on our lovely lady in the front of this dance party image is stunning (so is her dress)! The decor hanging from the ceiling is also quite interesting and fun.

Roller skating is seeing a resurgence in popularity these days and so it’s fun to see how girls in the 1940s dressed for their own roller skating party fun. What a super photo!

Cake anyone? I am more of a pie person, but the cake in this 1960s office party (not sure what kind of party this is to be honest), sure looks good.
