11 Groovy Disco Theme Party Ideas

Searching high and low for disco theme party ideas? Then you’ve come to the right place, as that’s exactly what Peerspace is serving up for you today. As the largest online marketplace for hourly creative venue rentals, we know what it takes to throw a good party and are happy to divulge our secrets. Secret #1? Location is everything! That’s why we suggest you pair these incredible party ideas with an equally groovy Peerspace venue of your choosing.

The 70s gave us many amazing things, like bell-bottom jeans, lava lamps, pet rocks, and perhaps, most iconically, disco. There’s really nothing like letting loose to your favorite groovy tunes and dancing the night away. And who says disco is dead? You can keep disco alive when you throw a groovy disco-themed party for your friends. Here are some of our top disco theme party ideas to get your creativity flowing!

Before you can get your groove on, you’ll need a space where you can spread out and dance. If you need ideas on where to find the perfect pad, Peerspace has you covered. Book a jungle disco loft in LA (pictured above), a private basement club in NYC, or even a bright pink 70’s home with plenty of color. No matter what city you’re in, you can find a killer venue that’s perfect for showing off your sense of style. Keep an eye out for spaces with a retro color scheme and plenty of room to boogie! 

Plus, when you book a Peerspace disco dance venue, you can rely on your very own Concierge service. These funky friends can source and deliver any extras you need, be it catering, entertainment, furnishings, bell bottoms, or just about anything else for your disco party.

2. Groove to your favorite disco tunes

The right music is absolutely essential to throwing the perfect disco-themed party. Classic 70’s groups like the Bee Gees, KC and the Sunshine Band, ABBA, and Earth Wind and Fire all have timeless songs that are perfect for getting down.

Curate a playlist of your favorite songs on Spotify, or as the Concierge service to book the perfect DJ to get the party going. There’s no wrong option, so long as you’re dancing and having fun!

3. Don’t forget the disco ball

What’s a disco party without a disco ball? If you only use one disco theme party idea from this list, make it this one. Lighting is paramount to setting the mood for your disco party. And a disco ball is just one-half of the battle. Don’t forget strobe lights or even a fog machine to set the atmosphere. Lava lamps make groovy table decorations for snack spreads and they’re easy to find at most stores!

And remember, if you need help getting lighting or A/V equipment at your venue, give Peerspspace Concierge a call to help you find it!
