Answer
Caroline:

I suggest that you figure out your budget and then shop in the party supply sites to determine what that will afford.  

Then, decorations can be things you have around your home, stored away, perhaps.  You can also find items in the homes of your friends, relatives, work associates that will enable you to be more lavish with decor at a little cost.

When it comes to decorations with a theme, I say that there is no such thing as too much...it makes the party more festive looking...and as a result people seem to get into the party mood.

The fifties is a great theme, we have a great party on our site that gives a lot of decoration ideas.  Give us a look and if you have any problems finding anything, let me know and I will do my best to help you find it.

Best of luck to you,

Have a great party!
