The late 1970's and early 1980's were part of the disco music craze. MTV, also known as music TV, was introduced to the music industry during the 1980's. Great music hits could be seen in music videos as well as played audibly so artists and bands achieved greater exposure.
The 1970s are remembered as the decade that introduced the Hustle, hot pants, platform shoes, disco music, flower power and free love. Organize a 1970s-themed party for an upcoming birthday for added entertainment. Ask guests to dress accordingly, and incorporate the theme in decorations, games and refreshments. With a little preplanning, your party is sure to be a success and will leave guests with fond memories for months to come.
The 1970s might be a walk down memory lane or an era you've only heard about. Make your party a hit with a blast from the past and be sure to "Have a Nice Day." Head your party invite with "Be There or Be Square," a common phrase used when making party plans during the 1970s. Greet your guests wearing hot pants and a flower in your hair or a paisley shirt.
The 1970s was an odd time in history, as the hippie era came to an end, and the disco era came on the scene. Planning a 1970s party can be a fun task with lots of options. Focus on either rock or disco, or combine decor and music from both time periods. The choice is yours.
The 1970s were a fantastic decade as far as providing ideas for party costumes. A number of iconic figures that rose to prominence during the so-called "Me Decade" still linger heavily in the public consciousness. It is easy to dress up as these figures for 1970s theme parties, in part because many of them are now fixtures at costume stores, and those that aren't can be recreated at home.
Having trouble picking out the perfect disco digs for that upcoming 1970's costume party? Have you forced yourself to forget how you dressed back then? Or maybe you weren't born yet. Get the ideal look and enter the world of John Travolta, the Bee Gees and Farrah Fawcett, even if it's for just one groovy night.
