sounds fun one of my friends gave her husband a 70s themed party and it was fun she used old album covers and records for decorations also smiley faces and flowers you could probably throw in some tie dye a disco ball would be fun also if you found some aritifacts from the seventies like eight track players or rotary phones that would be cool they also did seventies karaoke HAVE FUN
That is sooo AWESOME! Make sure you have a John Travolt there! That is soo cool! Try 'Soul Train' as a theme! That would be cool!
70's rock i was born then and grew up listen'n to the music
ROFL...oh, my, you are speaking of my era! Well, you can do a disco theme which would be fun. Get a disco ball for the ceiling, get the BeeGee's album from Saturday Night Fever and get funky! You have to have lots of polyester clothing, uck! Women in platforms/weggies very short skirts, hair is long and parted in the center (geez, I should just post my graduation picture for ya!). Guys pants are polyester, tight, slight bell at bottom, shirts are open with big collars. Remember John Travolta with his white suit? Have dance contests (they have to dance from that era). You need to use words like bitchen, far out, solid, etc. Lots of great music from the 70's you could use, not just disco (that was late 70's into the 80's btw). The Vietnam war was going on so there were 'hippies' protesting, people in tie-died t-shirts, jeans, peace signs, peace necklaces, flowers in hair, sandals, etc.
So, when's the party???? Have fun!
Lots of Bell Bottom pants, a John Travolta must, the disco ball. So cool. Have a great time.
lava lamps! you can get them pretty cheap
Ahhh.... disco! The disco era debuted in 1978 with Saturday Night Fever. 1979-80 were the peak disco years, when we all disco'd all night long to the sounds of Donna Summer and the Bee Gee's and the rest of that genre. Well, to be a proper disco princess requires:
1. The highest platform shoes you can find.
2. A tight black or solid color short-sleeved Danskin leotard.
3. A polyester wraparound skirt.
4. Lots of gold chains.
Polyester was very big in those days. It was still a fairly new invention, and both men and women were wearing tons of polyester in wild patterns/bright colors. The men would wear polyester leisure suits (white a la John Travolta was the most popular, but you would also see powder blue and yellow and salmon pink and all kinds of bright colors) and polyester shirts (unbuttoned half way down, of course), the women wore bright polyester skirts that were wraparounds or slit open all the way up to the top of the thigh so they would flutter and flare when we twirled and danced. That's why we wore leotards, because our skirts were open all the time.
Hair for both sexes was very long and shagged with a razor... unisex beauty parlors became popular for the first time (before that men only went to barber shops, and would have been horrified to set foot in a woman's beauty parlor!), and we all walked around looking like sheepdogs.
Where were our heads? ;-)
Disco balls, LP's on the wall, a 70's movie on TV for background visuals, 70's food is a must!
