Some might argue that the 70s were the decade for parties, and we just might agree. Transport your guests straight back to the era of bell bottoms and boogie nights. We’ll show you how to plan a truly groovy 70s-themed party for any special occasion! <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Get down with decorations and party favors<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Really lean into your disco era with party-themed decor. If you’re looking to turn your event into a time machine to the funky 70s, start by putting on your platform shoes and channeling your inner Elton John or Bee Gee. From lava lamps to psychedelic wall art that screams “peace and love,” we’ve got the vibes to make your disco-themed dreams come true! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Dreamy Disco Decor<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The 70s were definitely a colorful decade, so feel free to have fun with your party decorations. Make sure everyone knows it’s a disco dance party! Include a disco ball and dancing queen balloon decor<\/a>, plus a tie-dye lava lamp<\/a> or two. Get creative with any decorations that have bright colors, big daisies, peace signs, Volkswagen bugs, and hearts, like this 70’s confetti.<\/a> It’s all about the love, man.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flower Power Party Favors<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Your party will definitely need some Donna Summer-style disco party favors. Think bright temporary disco tattoos<\/a> and 70s-themed party cups<\/a>, and then hit the lights and pass out glow necklaces and glow sticks<\/a> to get the party started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Offer far-out food and drinks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Fondue <\/a>is a must at your 70s theme party. It was all the rage back then, and who doesn’t love to dip things in melted cheese or chocolate? Make cake balls and dust them in edible glitter, or go all out with disco ball pi\u00f1ata cake<\/a> to keep things sparkly. Pair it with a martini bar or some emerald green grasshoppers<\/a> and make everyone feel like they just stepped into Studio 54.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Book some groovy entertainment<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Take your party to the next level with live entertainment! Try hiring a karaoke DJ<\/a> to help you belt out some ABBA, or just have a mobile DJ<\/a> on hand to keep the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack on repeat. If you have the space, a funk<\/a>, soul<\/a>, or disco band<\/a> can add some extra groove to your dance floor. To really wow your guests, hire 70s-era entertainment<\/a> like roller skate performers! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
