Having a party is itself is hard enough, but throw in a theme and you can have yourself a doozey of a job in managing it. The 70s theme is one of the most popular themes when it comes to having a party which will give your guests the party experience of a lifetime, but making sure that it is to the point and perfect can be a big responsibility. Searching through Google for the best props and food can be easy but how do you decide the best things to use for your ultimate 70s themed psychedelic party?

The 70s were all about the peak of change. With big names like Led Zeppelin, Bob Marley, Sex Pistols and Queen leading music culture into a new era, the 70s were some of the most revolutionary times for all. So to celebrate this change in style, we are going to give you a checklist for some of the must-have items which will make your 70s themed psychedelic party the grooviest of them all.

Glow in the Dark Decorations

70s were the peak time for disco and so to commemorate this wonderful music, using glow in the dark decorations can be the perfect way to outline the evening. Items such as glow in the dark balloons and even glow in the dark paint are readily available in the market, and the only thing you’ll have to do is dim the lights, and let the decorations guide the guests in for a psychedelic journey.

Colorful Food

The 70s gave rise to some of this generation’s most favorite snacks. Sure, the people might not have reached the level of Nutella’s perfection but the 70s did give us some simple favorites such as Pringles chips, Lays potato chips, Salsa and corn chips, Dagwood sandwiches and even salad bars, and this is just an appetizer list. The 70s were all about comfort and fun, so having main dishes such as pizza, tacos, cheese steak subs and even shish kebabs will do just fine.

70s Only Music

The best way to have a theme party is to really sell the concept. 70s was disco time, but it also gave us artists like Aerosmith, KISS, The Jackson 5, Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, ABBA, Bee Gees and many other artists who gave us some of the most memorable tracks in rhythm and blues, psychedelic rock and Jazz. As a bonus point, ask your guests to bring along their own favorite song from the 70s and play it over the sound system to really get everyone invested.

Challenging Games

Although a few might sneakily ask to play the ‘7 minutes in heaven’ game, in the true spirit of the 70s, the best game that can be played is Twister. With a few slightly woozy pals dressed in some really weirdly accurate costumes from the 70s, you can bet that the whole scenario will have them laughing silly. Along with that, renting a karaoke machine for the night might be just the thing you need for some online share-worthy memories!

Psychedelic Booze

No party is complete without some amazing booze to really get the tone going. The 70s gave rise to some very popular names in the cocktail world and from Daiquiris to Harvey Wall bangers; the 70s played a huge part in creating some concoctions which would stay with us forever. Another bonus which can completely encompass the entire theme of the party is that of some exclusive glow in the dark vodka jello shot syringes. Perfectly safe and fun to use, having these syringes from The Glo Shot in the party will not only give you another game to play but it will be something that even the most drunkest of all won’t forget about.

And there you have it. Simply add some neon light machines, apt costumes, a few hand held glow sticks and some of the best food and drinks that the 70s could give you, you too can have the best 70s themed psychedelic party to make the patrons of the era proud!
