Don’t forget the power of patterns! Geometric shapes, psychedelic swirls, and floral prints were super popular. Find fabrics with these patterns to use as backdrops or tablecloths. You can also create your own groovy patterns on paper plates, cups, and even your walls using stencils and paint.
Music was key to the 70s vibe, and that’s also reflected in decorations! Incorporate records and album covers into your decor. Hang them on the walls or use them as centerpieces. Create a playlist of classic 70s tunes to set the mood. Don’t be afraid to get creative and customize your own 70s inspired record art.
Lighting can really set the mood for your 70s party. Dim the lights and use colored light bulbs to create a funky atmosphere. Lava lamps are a classic 70s decoration that will add a touch of retro cool. You can also use string lights and disco balls to create a groovy dance floor.
Don’t forget the smaller details! Scatter peace sign decorations, smiley faces, and flower power images around the party space. Set up a photo booth with 70s props like oversized sunglasses, feather boas, and afros. Encourage guests to dress up in their best 70s attire to complete the theme. After all, it is the details that count most!
