How to Throw the Ultimate DISCO Party

Nov 27th, 2010 by jmunro in How To, Theme Parties

You need only four things to make your disco party unforgettable:  a great theme, great food/drinks, great guests and the best DJ.  Snag all these things, and your party will have it made.  Let’s take a look at these four things in turn.

Theme

A unique theme is a definite requirement.  If your disco party has none, it will be so blah and forgettable!  You don’t want that, surely?  However, there’s no need to go overboard.  Do not ask your buddies to come in sea turtle fins, barracuda teeth, porcupine fish spines, and clown fish stripes.  You are not Nemo, you are not lost and you are long past the age where you can act silly without actually appearing so.

Scrap the appallingly juvenile sea adventure theme!  Go back to where it all started, and hold a 70′s Disco Party instead.  Get your Saturday Night Fever tape out if you need inspiration from John Travolta.

Food and Drinks

No self-respecting host will let his guests starve!  Prepare lots of food and ice-cold beverages.  You don’t have to serve fillet mignon, caviar and Dom Perignon; just the usual beer and pizza will do.  However, there must be PLENTY of it to go around!  You can add milk shakes, hamburgers and all other standard junk (but definitely tasty) fare if you want.

Guests

Send out your invitations at least weeks before the date of your party.  Remind everyone that your party is RSVP, and that they should come to your party dressed in their hippest 70′s-inspired togs.

The Disc Jockey

Now, this is the most important element in any disco party.  Without a DJ, your disco party will crash even before it gets off the ground.  Trust us; your iPod and speakers just won’t cut it.  A disco party should reverberate with disco music.  Your guests do not expect to hush up because they won’t be able to hear the music otherwise.  They expect wonderfully loud, nonstop music – and only a professional disc jockey can provide you and your guests with that.

Just imagine what your disco party will be like.  The disco ball is slowly gyrating to the pulse of Soul Train music.  A John Travolta impersonator in white is heating up the dance floor.  Your guests are dancing with their partners or forming trains across the dance floor.  It will be a truly memorable disco party – the ultimate disco party, in fact – but only if you have the best disk jockey around.
