Travel back in time for a 70's theme party.
With wild colors and clothing, this type of party is a great way to liven up any mood.
Set your theme around "Saturday Night Fever" and you're ready to hustle.
Decorations
Here's what you'll need for a great 70's party theme:
* Disco ball
* Place every mirror you have in the house to reflect strobe lights
* Smiley faces
* 70s TV and movie posters
Dress
Wear bell-bottom Levi's or Wranglers or go all out with your leisure suit.
Feather your hair like Farrah Fawcett or Andy Gibb.
Give away prizes for the best dressed.
Food/Drink
What should you serve? Have a table with punch, both spiked and plain. Foods can be easy finger foods, such as chips and dip, veggies, and cheese and crackers. If you want to put in a bit of extra effort, offer sundaes or create a soda fountain in the corner of the room.
Activity Ideas
Serve your food of choice on these tie-dyed party plates and tableware.
Drinks can be served in psychedelic light up glasses.
An easy choice of games is to play a game of 70's trivia.
There are several available including Trivial Pursuit 70s/80s editions.
Play clips from 70's TV shows or movies and competing teams guess first what movie/show the song was from.
70's karaoke is lots of fun and gets everyone laughing.
Complete the night with Saturday Night Fever karaoke and disco contests!

Kids take their birthdays very seriously, and are extremely disappointed if their birthday parties are anything short of spectacular. Throwing an unforgettable kids birthday party can sometimes seem like a task better suited for a professional event planner.
But with the proper party supplies, a little know how and a lot of imagination, you can throw a birthday party that the kids will be talking about all year.
Before you let your inner party planner take over, make sure that throughout the process you consult with the birthday boy or girl, unless of course the party is a surprise. Kids have their own ideas of what makes a party fun, and if the kids don?t have a good time the party is a bust. Discuss possible theme ideas, party games, food, and favors with them to ensure everything is kid friendly. If you are planning a surprise party you can ask siblings or friends...
