The 70s party suits best when it is a birthday, a reunion, an anniversary, or even a good get-together with friends. The trick to decorating is to combine and contrast strong patterns, bright colours such as orange, yellow, purple, and turquoise, and traditional 70s items such as peace signs, record players, and lava lamps. You may install a disco dance floor, paint with funky wall decoration, and build a photo booth with oversized sunglasses, wigs, and retro props to make terrific memories.

A disco ball is a must at a 70s party. Use a large disco ball at the center of the party area, or at the tables as a decoration. Once the disco ball is hit by lights, it resembles a sparkling effect, which immediately induces a disco atmosphere. Add to it some colourful LED lights or strobe lights to pop the dance floor. You can even go on using glittery table runners and place trays around the room to reflect light and make the entire room glittery. Such a basic ornament will make everyone feel like dancing and grooving throughout the night.
