Kid's Disco Dance Party Ideas

Disco-themed dance parties are not only fun, but also give parents a chance to pull out some long hidden goodies from the '70s. If you have a bit of imagination, you can pull off a well-planned day of fun for your disco king or queen.

Invitations & Decorations

You can purchase these or make your own. If making your own use bold colors, such as red, blue, green, orange and yellow. Make sure to state that the party is a costume affair and encourage guest to arrive in character. Plan to have some on hand for those who arrive without costumes. Disco is all about lights, color and music, be sure to have plenty of each in your decorations. Metallic streamers and disco balls are perfect for this occasion. Make sure music is on as you great your guests; it adds to the feel of the decorations.

Activities & Favors

Set up an area to allow kids to get their hair and make-up done '70s style. Photo stations are a great way to capture the fun, set up an area with props and have someone available to take photos. If you are able to print photos right away, do so, then place them in a photo holder with a disco theme and a caption. Give out disco ball goodies such as key chains and cool jewelry. You can purchase disco themed items from places such as Oriental Trading Company. Plan to teach a few dances and then have a dance contest, this is a great way to encourage kids to show off their moves.
