Fifties Party Invitation wording?

My mom was born in 1951, and so for her 60th birthday - we are having a surprise party for her in a 50's theme.

Thought we could write something like this, but my sister wants it to rhyme

There are a few great things that came out of the 50’s:
Rock N Roll
Barbie Dolls
Hula Hoops …… and
Margaret LastName!

Help us celebrate Margaret’s sixtieth birthday
With a SURPRISE 50’s Sock Hop

Dress to impress in your 50’s Best

I looked online, of course, but I wanted something about what came out of the 50's - so the theme makes sense - since it is her 60th birthday, not 50th KWIM?

Nesties are creative, so I figured maybe someone could come up with a rhyme or something else cheesy :)

Could you do something to Rock Around the Clock or the theme to Happy days? Thats what I initally thought of.

Put your glad rags on and join me, hon,
We'll have some fun when the clock strikes one,
We're gonna rock around the clock and all that's missing is you!
Get out your bobby socks and poodle skirts,

i think that sounds great!

hmmm rhymes...

The Fifties brought us many great things...

Poodle skirts and petticoats,

Elvis Presley and Cherry Coke,

But best of all, Margaret (last name)!

So come, dance, have a good laugh!

Let's see your 50's best

put your saddle shoes to the test

as we celebrate Margaret's 60 years

and knock back some beers (LOL) or---

with that famous (lastname) cheer! (if it'll be a family party)

It's a surprise, so please do not tell!

The look on her face will be super swell!

 
That's kinda long though, haha
