Themes For Parties Australia

1970s

The 70s is a fun theme. The costumes and music alone are enough to make a party.  Another plus is that it was recent enough to have plenty of artifacts you can use to set the mood.  Browse down the page for food and party game ideas

 70s Themed Music and Entertainment

70s Party Ideas

When you think of the 70s, the disco era is an obvious theme.  But there were plenty of other fashion and music disaster areas you can spice up your 70s party with.

  • Decor - To create the mood, clear space for a dance floor and hang a mirror ball from the roof.  Other 70s-tastic decor could include: Brown, orange and green shades; wood veneer; Beanbags; shag rugs; Lavalamps; and 70s glassware from op shops.
  • Themes - Screen characters/celebrities of the 70s, Disco,  70s fashion and Roller-Disco (this is best outsourced to a rollerskating rink)
  • Celebrities  - Sports stars with moustaches, Farrah Fawcett, Aretha Franklin, Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Richard Nixon, David Bowie, ABBA, Bee Gees, ACDC
  • Activities - Disco dancing competition, Biggest afro/platforms/bellbottoms competition. 70s trivia.

70s party food

The 70s was never known for its good taste, and the food was no exception. The craze for fondue (and the related put-everything-on-toothpicks fad) makes an obvious food theme. Keep in mind that some of this food may be more fun to make (and laugh at) than eat.

  • Fondues, both sweet and savoury
  • Skewer any of the following on a toothpick: cabannossi, gherkins, cocktail onions, cheese and pineapple, mini frankfurts.  For extra tackiness you could stick the toothpicks in a grapefruit
  • Quiche, miniature or otherwise
  • Punch
  • Prawn Cocktails
  • Pigs in a Blanket
