Take a step back through the 60s, 70s, and 80s, the decades dedicated to peace, love, disco dancing, bold colours and groovy clothes.
Retro and vintage themes are coming back in full force, so what better way than to step back in time and celebrate with family and friends under neon lights? If you're looking for some ideas to transform your space into a retro or vintage experience here are some things you can try.
DIY Retro Theme Decor
If you enjoy working with your hands and want to have your own unique twist on your party decor. These fun craft ideas are for you!
Psychedelic Feature Wall: Grab some retro-patterned fabrics, tapestries and some groovy lights to hang on a wall or across a large space. These bold fabric patterns add a level of charm and comfort to your space for your guests to enjoy.
Satined-Colour Glass Windows: Grab some stained-coloured window stickers, cut them into your desired shape and stick up on your windows. When the light passes through it will paint your space with colours.
Disco ball: Also known as a mirror ball, became an iconic symbol of the discotheque and nightclub culture during that time. Its shiny, reflective surface and ability to catch and reflect light made it a staple in disco venues, creating a dazzling and dynamic atmosphere on the dance floor. So as you can see there is nothing that screams retro more than a disco ball. How about a ceiling full of disco balls!?
Wall Art: Your walls are blank canvases waiting to be used to express your creativity. Retro art spans a wide range of styles, from mid-century modern to pop art and psychedelic designs. Retro wall art can serve as a conversation starter, sparking discussions and sharing stories about the era represented. So what are you waiting for? Find some pieces you like online, print them off at home or from your local print shop and start decorating your space!
Mixtape Music: Create your own party playlist filled with 70s and 80s music you know your guests will groove out to.

Table Setting: Rental companies often offer a diverse range of retro-themed table settings, allowing clients to choose from different styles, and colorss. This variety ensures your table settings can be tailored to match your specific set of preferences and the experience you wish to give to your guests.
Backdrops: Whether you DIY your backdrop or not, backdrops can serve as a focal point for the party. Whether it's a decorative wall, a photo booth backdrop, or a stage setting, backdrops draw attention and guide guests' focus to specific areas of interest.
Neon Signs: Neon signs were a defining visual element of the retro era, often used to highlight businesses, entertainment venues, and iconic symbols. Including neon signs in your party decor adds an authentic touch that immediately transports guests to the nostalgic vibes of the past.
Beyond aesthetics, a retro theme party becomes a shared experience, fostering connections through familiar tunes, classic games, and nostalgic conversations. It serves as a reminder that, despite the passage of time, the joy and spirit of the past can be relived and celebrated.
