I need to pull together a 3 hour playlist for DH's party. There will be kids up to age 7 or so as well as adults, most of us closing in on 40 (!).

Here are some details:
1.5 hours will be cocktails on a patio area
We'll then move to another venue on the property
There will be a Neil Diamond cover guy playing for 45 minutes before dinner
Dinner will be about an hour
Neil guy will be playing for another 1/2 hour to close it out

I want upbeat, fun music that I don't have to wrry about censoring. I'm fine with something like Katie Perry but no hardcore rap.

Any suggestions?

Beach Boys
Beatles
Elvis Presley

Any "oldies" music (50s and 60s)

I would make a playlist of all my favorites without putting too much thought into it, just to get a list going. Then I'd take a closer look and remove anything that won't work or might offend.

ETA: If you want to stick with Neil Diamond's style, create a ND pandora station to get some ideas.

This may be too late, but just in case others need options, the CDs from Land of Nod are excellent! My husband and I continue listening even when our daughter has fallen asleep in her carseat.
