Ah the 1950s – life seemed pretty good back then. We weren’t arguing over same-sex marriages (homosexuality wasn’t invented until the 1970s) or marijuana laws (marijuana didn’t come around until the 1960s – those damn hippies).

Watch and learn a few pointers and how-to’s on planning the perfect cocktail party – 1950s style.

You can always count on the cast of SNL to shine a light on how cocktail party planning was done back in the good days.
