You can serve the typical hot dogs, nachos, chips, popcorn, pop...We have served sloppy joes and they were a hit. Sub-sandwiches might be good (and you could possibly get these donated!) Pizza by the slice.
Concessions!!! Sell food/drink. (don't forget to mention it on your flyer, so people don't eat dinner before they come to the dance).
Cake Walk - Get donated cakes and have a cake walk.
Raffle - get donated prizes and have a raffle.
Games..
Pictures with big 'Fros?? Have someone artistic paint 80's scenes on large pieces of plywood/cardboard and cut out holes so people can put their heads thru. Take polaroids and charge 'em $1 - $2 per pic.
I am thinking about chairing a dance theme night. I want to do a 1980's "retro" theme (my era). I do not want to charge admission as this would be a family night. However I would want to break even. Any ideas of how to raise money other than admission? I am an elementary school. [img]smile.gif[/img]
