Throw a 70s Theme Party
Hosting theme parties can be so much fun for party throwers party goers. Here's a few tips to help you throw a successful 70s theme party.
Instructions
1. Find an iconic image of a celebrity from the seventies (such as John Travolta's famous pose in "Saturday Night Fever," or the famous poster of Farrah Fawcett), and save the image to your computer. Draw a "speech bubble" coming from their mouth, announcing the details of your party.
2. On the party invitation, specify that everyone must dress in 70s era attire. If some of your friends don't know what to wear, tell them to do a Google search or watch a few episodes of "That Seventies Show" to get an idea of what 70s styles were like. You could also ask them to dress as their favorite celebrity or character from the 70s, and give a prize to the most accurate depiction of a character.
3. Decorate the room by hanging a disco ball (you can buy these at most party supply stores). Print out photos of 70s celebrities, and hang them all over the walls. Hang curtains of strings of beads in open doorways (sold in most party supply stores).
4. Load your iPod or MP3 player with music from the 70s, and hook it up to your home sound system. Alternately, you can just hook your home computer up to your home speakers and log on to a 70s channel on iTunes.
5. Set up a karaoke machine, and let your guests sing 70s songs.
6. Get creative and name the dishes you serve at your party (place cards indicating the names of your foods). Use the names of popular 70s TV shows, songs, or movies (with a twist) to name your dishes. Some examples: "CHiPS and dip," "Watergate salad," "Charlie's Angels food cake."
