1970s Party

A 1970s Party. Disco was king and the bump wasn't a car accident! This was a decade with economic hardships but people had still managed to have a lot of fun.

The game Pong was very popular. A cool game called Simon hit the market. I can still remember begging my Dad for one and him having a hard time finding it.
Pet Rocks of all things, were flying off the store shelves. People stood in line for hours to watch the movie Star Wars and talked about it for weeks afterwards.

It is a year worth revisiting for a party.

Invitation Ideas

Send little disco ball key chains to your guests. Attach the party information to the key chain.

Make your own invitation cards in the shape of vinyl records. Write "Get Down Tonight" on the front and add the rest of the party information to the inside.
