A party that is based round the theme of 70s fancy dress might be an excellent idea. Picture a place full of your pals and family wearing flared trousers and fly away collared shirts. It might definitely be tricky for folk to not have fun in such a surreal and mad atmosphere. One of the greatest things about the nineteen seventies is that there were basically quite plenty of varying styles that came and went thru the period. When you consider 70s fancy dress what styles instantly come to mind? Do you think about the times of Glam rock with its' glitter and glitz? Or does it make you concentrate on the Hippy look that was once such a favored image with youth? Maybe it brings to mind the days of disco with its open-chested shirts and dance floors made from flashing colored squares? If you are making plans to organise a 70s dressing up party then do not be put off by the proven fact that there are such a lot of varied styles that made up the decade. Use this to your benefit. Rather than feeling daunted by which look you suspect epitomised the seventies best of all why don't you select only one of them and base your party around that? You might, as an example, have a 70s costume party where all your guests get dressed up as hippies for the evening.

Think about things to wear like loon pants, bell-bottoms, flamboyant shirts and kaftans. Accessories include items like beads, headbands and long hair pieces. If you actually wanted to bump the ship out then you might use face paints to draw flowers on the faces of your visitors. Maybe you might actually have some incense sticks burning round the room ( patchouli, sandalwood or ylang ylang would all be an excellent choice to contribute to the validity ). Maybe a hippy event doesn't sound extraordinarily exciting to you. Consider what you and the individuals that you invite would enjoy.

Would it be more entertaining to have a 70s dressing up party that was centred on the disco scene? The outfits might be quite as much fun to select as they were to wear. Consider the image that was built on for the film of 'Grease'.

Are you able to see any of your chums or family dressed up like John Travolta or Olivia Newton-John? Other good places to look for concepts for costumes and hair styles would be bands like Boney-M or The Bee Gees. Perhaps the Glam scene would be a better idea? Again, try and picture your guests wearing the correct outfits. Are you able to picture your siblings, sisters mothers and fathers or pals wearing platform shoes and getting down to the dance on the dance floor? Whatever style you choose for your 70s costume party it should turn out to be very fashionable. There are all kinds of garments and haircuts from back then that've been long forgotten. Though in a few cases this is maybe for the best...
