For continuing proof that Ivy Leaguers hold the most creative, most eccentric, and overall best theme parties, look no further than the pics from last weekend's "1960s Etiquette and Entertaining Party" (more to come when I figure out how to install the plugin!) Inspired by Seventeen Magazine's 1963 tome on all things party related, the hosts provided mosaic sandwiches (wonderbread and all!), rebellious Beatles tunes, and wild games of beat the pan (don't ask).

Want to party like it's 1963? Here's some critical advice from Enid Haupt (author of Etiquette and Entertaining) and publisher Seventeen Magazine: 

On drinking: "Whether or not you want to drink or smoke is something best decided with your parents before you ever reach campus... You don't have to drink to be popular!"

On fashion: "BEING INDIVIDUAL, catering to your own special likes. Example: you wear a pale-blue belt with a navy dress instead of the obvious red one. You team a sherbet-colored sweater-- orange, lemon or lime-- with a beige dress instead of the expected red, white or blue."

On meeting boys: "Any girl can get a date, have a boy fall in love with her, become engaged and get married. Fix these facts in your mind and believe in them and you will be successful at getting along with boys. Everything is in your favor because most boys like most girls..."

On saying no: "If you go to a party that-- with lights dimmed and parents away-- turns into a make-out session, you can't expect your date to sit primly on the sofa and talk books while everyone else is necking. (He has his manly reputation to think of.) Take him out to the brightly lit kitchen and fix him a sandwich."

Too bad more contemporary college ladies don't remember these simple rules to live by.
