Lush hairstyles, sequins, shiny shirts, star glasses, bell-bottoms, bright leggings, color music, a mirrored disco ball. Does this remind you of something? Of course, this is the legendary time of disco, the 70s and 80s. It’s not at all difficult to come up with a scenario for a disco party. Whether it’s New Year, March 8, a simple corporate event or a birthday, a disco themed party will appeal to many. This is not a Spanish or Hawaiian party; there is no need for elaborate decor, intricate costumes, or gourmet cuisine.
Meeting with guests
So, we meet the guests. In order for guests to plunge into the holiday atmosphere from the very threshold, they need to be greeted in disco-style costumes, invited to wear fluffy funny wigs, and decorate themselves with bright neon bracelets. Guests can also earn liquor tickets and disco dollars upon entry by completing a simple task. In the foyer, hang flags, shiny garlands, posters with images of your favorite idols of those years, in the smoking room, leave a bag of sunflower seeds, Belomor cigarettes, dominoes, etc. on the table.
Invitations
The style of an invitation to a disco party should be recognizable at a glance, so that the person holding the invitation in his hands, without even reading it, understands what kind of event is being planned. Therefore, disco stars can be depicted on flyers: Elton John, Gloria Gaynor, Abba, Smokie, Adriano Celentano. You can follow the path of economy and minimalism and make invitations on colored paper and put them in a bright envelope filled with confetti. In a moment, how could it be without the yellow smiley, the immortal and most popular symbol of the 70s, it can also be used when designing invitation cards. Well, just in case, for particularly ignorant guests, indicate in the invitation that guests follow the dress code and come in disco-style costumes.
Decorating the venue
In order for a disco party to be bright, memorable and successful, you need to take care of creating a thematic surroundings, so decorating and decorating the venue for the event is one of the main stages in its preparation. So, a spinning mirror ball under the ceiling is the most important and obligatory attribute of a disco party. Don't forget about color music, the good old cassette player. Place posters depicting stars of the disco era around the entire perimeter of the room, hang garlands of beads and gramophone records; be sure to use the immortal vinyl gramophone records somewhere, for example, attach them to the walls. It would be creative to display films from those times on the walls of the room. This could be, for example, Star Wars. A movie can run without sound, and disco music is perfect as a background.
Menu
The main focus of the evening is music and dancing, not feasting. Therefore, you can pay a minimum of attention to treats. Of course, friends don’t have to go hungry, and the fun lasts longer with a good snack. Therefore, prepare portioned dishes, no frills possible - salads, snacks in baskets, sliced meats, smoked meats and vegetables. Fruits, desserts and other goodies will certainly be appreciated by active girls who are not used to stuffing themselves at night.
Quite in the style of Disco, some semblance of a buffet or buffet. Place the table somewhere against the wall so that it does not interfere with the dancing. Take care of the seating areas - several armchairs and sofas. Prepare various juices and punches in beautiful transparent containers and scoops. Guests will be able to mix themselves a colorful cocktail from fruit nectar and an assortment of alcoholic drinks.
Suits
If you put yourself in a good mood, real fun is guaranteed. Dressing up for a disco party is quite easy. On old dusty mezzanines we look for colored leggings, shiny wide tunics, large fishnet tights, bananas, bell-bottoms, blouses with wide shoulders. Don't forget to get vinyl, leather and denim jackets too. A girl can wear bright leggings, a T-shirt dress, incredible neon makeup, and decorate herself with jewelry. Please note that there should be a lot of jewelry, due to it you should sparkle, sparkle, and ring. These can be plastic bracelets of bright colors, clips, huge hoop earrings in the ears. The main feature of a male mojo at a disco party will be a shiny or black turtleneck, a bright shirt, a tight golf shirt in yellow, light green, orange or any other bright color and always a white jacket. For shoes, give preference to moccasins with colored laces, bright ballet flats, and shiny silver sandals with incredible heels.
Music and video

How to decorate a room?
What about the location of the party? It needs to be formalized. A mirror ball under the ceiling... and, of course, color music - these are integral attributes of such a party. Post posters, photographs and images of stars of that time on the walls, get vinyl records, an old cassette recorder with tapes that will be played at the party, play on the walls, using a special player, silent films of that time - “Agent 007”, “Mimino” ", "Juno and Avos", "Afonya", "Star Wars", "Cabaret", use any things and accessories reminiscent of disco times. Use bright, eye-catching colors, sparkles, tinsel, beads, confetti, rattling curtains made of large beads at the entrance. The light in the room should be dim, semi-dark (candles can be used), saturate the air with the spirit of “disco” - incense sticks and aroma lamps will come in handy. Recordings on cassettes must be appropriate - Viktor Tsoi, Abba, Yuri Shatunov, Andriano Celentano, Alla Pugacheva, Toto Gutungo, Ottawan, Haddaway, Freestyle, Combination, Alena Apina, Andrei Derzhavin, Roman Zhukov and many hits of other performers of the late 70s - early 80s-90s. In the case of a disco party, music is the main component of the holiday, its party.

Entertainment
Disco should take center stage when planning a disco party. But what is a holiday without feasts, competitions and games. You can organize a singing competition. Ask your guests to sing a disco song. As a rule, many people like karaoke, so one person will start, and the chorus will finish the song. How can we do without dancing? Therefore, the competition for the best disco dancer will be more appropriate than ever. As a background, turn on the music from the movie “Disco Dancer”; all the young people used to dance to it. While guests quench their thirst and hunger at the table, you can arrange a quiz competition on your knowledge of well-known facts of the disco era. Questions could include:
The most popular chewing gum. A brightly colored item of clothing that gained popularity throughout the USSR. List in order all the general secretaries of the USSR. Which countries were formed as a result of the collapse of Yugoslavia.
Since chewing gum was a certain know-how and scarce, and it was even fashionable to blow bubbles from it, hold a competition for the largest bubble from chewing gum. Using the most famous hits of that time, hold a “Guess the Melody” competition. If there are people at the event who did not comply with the dress code and came without a suit, organize a makeup competition for them. Using cosmetics, gouache, self-tanning, chocolate, you need to beautifully paint the participant’s face.
To hold a Rubik's cube competition, you will need 6 girls and 6 men who think they know how to solve a Rubik's cube. The girls are sent backstage and put on an additional 6 plain clothes in blue, white, yellow, red, green and orange. As things you can use fabric wound like a scarf, skirt, scarf, blouse, belt, etc. A man chooses a girl and must dress her in one color as quickly as possible. The winner gets a prize - a Rubik's cube.
Theme parties
Disco party: scenario.
The first thing you need to start preparing for is a disco-style corporate party scenario. You can choose from options that have already been prepared and offered to you, or you can order an original plan for the holiday program to be written especially for you. If you have special wishes regarding the fullness of the evening dedicated to disco, they will definitely be taken into account during preparation.
Disco party: invitations.
To decorate envelopes with invitations to a disco party, we recommend using colored paper or cardboard. On top you can paste images of Russian or foreign pop stars (groups “Combination”, “Tender May”, “Boney M”, “Modern Talking”, etc.), compositions performed by which were super popular at discos in the 70-80s. last century.
Disco party: venue and equipment.
Since the disco theme involves dancing, dancing, and dancing again, it is most appropriate to hold a corporate event in this style in a nightclub. The ideal option is if the entertainment establishment you choose has a separate disco room, in which you only need to pre-book tables for the total number of guests.
If you decide to hold a disco-style corporate party in another place, the decorators will decorate the room accordingly the day before.
So, it will have a mirror ball suspended from the ceiling above the dance floor, smoke machines will be placed around the perimeter of the dance floor, color and music equipment will be set up, and vinyl records can be attached to the walls.
Disco party: costumes.
When a disco party is just around the corner, what to wear, what hairstyle and makeup to do - these are the questions that are most pressing for the invited guests.
The main requirement in the dress code is extravagance.
To achieve this, guys are recommended to wear flared jeans, acid-colored shirts or colored turtlenecks to corporate events, and sneakers or moccasins.
Girls can feel free to appear in colorful leggings, short shorts with thick tights, sequined tunics or T-shirts and high-heeled sandals or bright ballet shoes.
Ladies can have a backcomb on their heads or tie their hair in a tight ponytail, generously sprinkling the hairstyle with hairspray. Men can use hair gel for styling. And those who don’t want to waste time on creating a hairstyle can simply wear funny multi-colored wigs.
Party in disco style: buffet.
A disco party and a hearty feast are poorly compatible things. That is why it is advisable to order light snacks for treats: canapés, sandwiches, cheese and cold cuts, etc. Stock up on a sufficient amount of brightly colored juices and nectars (orange, grape, tomato, etc.), which will be poured into transparent glasses. And don’t forget about the favorite drink of that time - Coca-Cola, with the addition of it to alcohol you can prepare a variety of cocktails.
Disco party: competitions.
During the break between dancing and toasts, the host can entertain those present with fun games and competitions, inviting them to remember the missing line from a song from the 70s and 80s. or perform a famous hit at karaoke. And of course, what would a corporate disco party be without a dance marathon? Therefore, at the end of the evening, all guests will be given the opportunity to demonstrate their dancing abilities and endurance by taking part in a competition for the title of the best disco dancer in the group.
