With a ton of party themes<\/a> to choose from, consider a <\/span>70s theme party that includes a disco; <\/span>it easily gets everyone into the party mood. The disco-funk <\/span>era was full of<\/span> excess: trousers had extra flare, colours and patterns were loud and bold, and the disco balls made everything sparkle.<\/span> The <\/span>Saturday Night Fever<\/span> craze had girls mastering John Travolta\u2019s dance moves in their platforms, singing \u201cStayin\u2019 Alive\u201d. A 70s theme party might inspire a few caped Supermen and a bunch of Princess Leia space buns but stick to a disco theme for the ultimate groovy vibes. The Bee Gees will keep \u2019em on the dance floor all night long.<\/span><\/p>\n

Entrance: <\/strong>Hang beaded curtains over doorways so guests can step into a new era in style. It will also make a great photo-op location aside from being a quintessential 70s party decoration staple.<\/p>\n

Disco zone:<\/strong> Hang disco balls from the ceiling to get the dance floor sparkling. You can add strobe or neon lights, too, for more psychedelic fun.<\/p>\n

Table d\u00e9cor:<\/strong> Sprinkle your tablecloth with metallic confetti and stack your snacks in brightly coloured bowls. You could even use old vinyl as groovy serving platters (remember to give it a good clean first!). For centrepieces, go for furry dice, jars of big crazy sunglasses, and lava lamps to fulfil all your 70s decorations ideas and dreams.<\/p>\n

Wall d\u00e9cor: <\/strong>Line the walls with a few posters of 70s music legends and drape psychedelic floral fabric to cover paintings. Some giant peace signs wouldn\u2019t go amiss either.<\/p>\n

Chill out:<\/strong> Make a chill-out space inside or in the garden with shag carpets and bean bags. Hang vintage roller-skates and mini disco balls in clusters from tree branches with fairy lights, if it’s outside.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
