Disco party

The Disco style originated in the late 70s - early 80s of the last century in the West. As a result, the Disco style spread and became fashionable in many countries of the world, and Russia was no exception among these countries. Brightness, dynamism, sexuality - all these adjectives can safely characterize this stylistic focus.

The fashion for "disco" has recently become widespread, both among young people and among middle-aged people. So what is this style? How to organize an awesome Disco party? How to surprise your guests?

There should be no limit to fantasy in this direction. The Disco style is bright and a bit lurid. And the main thing is dancing to madness and great mood.

Party invitations

How does any party start? Of course, with invitations. They should be designed according to the theme of the party. The invitation card should "scream" about what event the person is invited to. There are many options: depict popular pop stars of that time (Andriano Celentano, Gloria Gaynor, John Travolta, the Combination group, Alla Pugacheva), make invitations on colored paper, decorate them with a big yellow smiley - the most popular symbol of the "disco" era, use clippings from newspapers or magazines of that time, put the invitation in envelopes and pour confetti there, do not forget to indicate in the invitation that the party has a strict dress code - everyone should be dressed in the style of the party.

How to arrange 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 the essential attributes of such a party. Place posters, photographs and images of the stars of that time on the walls, get vinyl records, an old cassette recorder with cassettes 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 the times of disco. Use bright, eye-catching colors, sequins, tinsel, beads, confetti, rattling curtains of large beads at the entrance. The light in the room should be dim, semi-dark (you can use candles), 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, Andrey Derzhavin, Roman Zhukov and many hits of other performers of the late 70s- early 80s-90s. In the case of decorating a disco party, music is the main component of the holiday, its atmosphere, the "trick" of the party.

Costumes

Particular attention should be paid to the clothes and appearance of the organizers of the disco and invited guests, everyone should look extravagant. So, we get from the mezzanine dusty boxes with mother's and father's things, shoes and jewelry.

Girls invited to the disco can dress in colored leggings, shapeless T-shirt dresses, fluffy skirts, blouses with wide shoulders, bell-bottomed jeans, fishnet tights, sequined tunics, ultra-short denim shorts, satin trousers, dresses with deep cutouts, slightly bare body, sequins on the body, translucent T-shirts and tunics, leather trousers, hats, gloves with cut off fingers. You can put on shiny sandals with incredibly high heels, colorful ballet flats, moccasins with multi-colored lacing, ridiculous sneakers and other shoes that are striking. It would be appropriate to hang around with a huge amount of cheap plastic jewelry: beads, brooches, pendant earrings, clips and bright bracelets - it should shine, sparkle and ring, drawing attention to the guest. Think carefully about your makeup and hairstyle, they, like everything else, should be "flashy". Hair can be curled from roots to very tips or strongly combed, be sure to comb the bangs and pin it, and most importantly, pour abundantly with varnish, preferably with multi-colored sparkles, you can use round colored wigs. Highlight the eyes. Apply more eyeshadow, pink, blue, light green, orange or purple, line your eyes with bright black arrows, apply blush on your cheeks, paint your lips with hot pink, purple or scarlet lipstick, add false eyelashes to all this. Get plenty of mother-of-pearl in your makeup, and it will look in line with your outfit and the theme of the party. And, to top off the look, you can use perfume with floral aromas.

Outfits for young people, as well as for girls, can be very diverse. Flared jeans, banana trousers, knitted tights with lurex, shiny and bright, acid colors, shirts made of synthetic fabrics, white leather trousers, colored turtlenecks will look most effective on young people, but the most "bomb" among the outfits will be a white suit in combined with a black turtleneck. You can put on patent leather shoes, sneakers with colored laces or moccasins. Just like girls, use accessories: cheap watches, star glasses, bow ties, funny ties, belts, bracelets, and more. You can style your hair by smoothly smoothing your hair and styling it with hair gel, or tousling your hair to create a "hedgehog" and fix it with hairspray. As for girls, it is permissible to use multi-colored wigs.

You can also invite guests to dress up as popular pop stars of the time and, thus, arrange a doppelganger competition, which is inherently very exciting.

Disco Party Scenario

A party. When entering the premises where the party will be held, it is appropriate to arrange lotteries for guests, in which they can earn vouchers for alcoholic drinks, disco dollars, win prizes and souvenirs by completing exciting and simple tasks. In places for smoking, put paper bags with seeds, dominoes, playing cards, cheap cigarettes, which were common in the days of "disco". Choose a DJ who will play disco hits and fulfill guests' musical wishes.

And, of course, you can't do without an entertainment program and snacks. A variety of contests are best suited for entertaining guests, for example, a contest for the best performer of disco hits, a contest for the best solo or pair dancers in the “disco” style, the main thing is to accompany all contests with the right music (singles from old films are suitable), knowledge quizzes the disco era, the Guess the Melody contest, the Cheerful Cord contest (2 chairs are set opposite each other at a distance of 4 steps with their backs to each other, a rope is put under the chairs, 2 players stand near the chairs and, on command, change places and try to pull rope from under the chairs first), "The most sensitive" (any objects are placed on the chair, the participant sits down and tries to guess which objects they are and in what quantity), elimination competition, "Fanta", "Ring", competition for the best outfit and other competitions.

Menu

How to organize a table for a disco party? It is worth remembering that a disco is not a feast, but a mobile and active event, so do not overload the table with too much, it should be a buffet table. Arrange the plates on the table in stacks, and put the cutlery next to them. So what should be edible on the table? The answer is simple: there should be cold cuts, canapes, chips, sandwiches, croutons, perhaps light salads on the table, but be sure to put squash caviar on the table, because at that time it was the most popular snack and no event was complete without it. The main dish of the party should be cheese fondue (slices of bread dipped in soft melted cheese). From drinks in the days of "disco" preference was given to Coca-Cola and cocktails, which included it (for example, 100 g. Port + 100 g. Coca-Cola + 1 teaspoon of instant coffee, insert into a tube and quickly stir everything just before most used).

These are, in fact, the main secrets of disco parties. Show your maximum imagination, do not be lazy to get things of the "disco" era and your party will be a success. Good luck organizing and have fun!
