70’s Disco Decoration Guide

Are you ready to host the disco-themed party of your dreams? We’ve got you covered with this guide to finding the perfect decorations to transform your space into the ultimate disco experience. With a few well-chosen pieces, you can turn your party into a night to remember. And if you’re looking to add an extra layer of fun, why not host our 70’s disco-themed murder mystery game?

Elements to Make Your Disco-Themed Party Stand Out

When it comes to creating a memorable disco party, it’s all about the details. Here’s what we’ve found works best:

  • Party Backdrop: Perfect for making memories with your guests.
  • Larger Decorations: These improve the overall ambiance and set the tone.
  • Little Touches: Accessories that tie everything together.

Building the Perfect Photo Corner

You heard us right—building a photo corner instead of just a photo wall adds extra dimension to your pictures. Here’s what you need to create the ultimate disco photo corner:

  • Foil Fringe Curtains: Layering these over the hanging tablecloths adds a more interesting backdrop.

Lighting

Lighting is everything—it not only sets the mood but also reflects beautifully off the photo booth wall. We used two party lights placed on either side of the room, but honestly, one would have sufficed.

Larger Disco Party Decorations

Adding some larger decorations really makes your party scream “disco!” Here are a few of our favorites:

  • Hanging Swirls: While they can be a bit of a hassle to stick to the ceiling, they really embed the disco theme throughout the entire space. We hung them in the hallway to set the tone right as guests arrived.

  • Disco Balloons: Think big disco balls without the hefty price tag. They’re fun for photos and add to the overall vibe of the night. Just a heads up—these balloons need a pump; you can’t blow them up with just your mouth.

  • A Sign: Getting individual letters means you can spell out anything you want, like “Last Disco,” “The Groove Gala,” or “Let’s Boogie.” We found these great letters at our local party store.

Accessories

It’s the small details that make the party all the more fun. Think disco straws, photo booth props, and paper disco ball plates. We also like to have some extra disco props on hand so guests who forgot to dress up can still join in on the fun at our murder mystery party.

By incorporating these elements, you’ll create a disco party that your guests will be talking about long after the music stops. Happy partying!
