Set a Budget

Before planning anything, it’s important to set a budget. The budget will determine what activities you can do, where you can stay, and what food and drinks you can provide. Make sure to discuss the budget with all the attendees to ensure everyone is comfortable with the amount.

Set a Date well in Advance

It’s crucial to set a date that is agreeable for the majority of guests to avoid disappointment. Giving the guests as much notice as possible can ensure there are no clashes with other events.

Set the vibe with themed invitations

Disco themed invitations will help set the mood for the party, and they are the first impression guests will get. You can find a large selection of both hand made and digital invitations on Etsy that can be customised with your details.

Venue Selection

The proper venue is essential for a disco bachelorette party. You need plenty of room for dancing, loud music, and food and drinks. Popular nightspots, roller rinks, event spaces, and banquet halls are all great options. However, if you’re looking for a more low-key vibe, you can plan the party at home, in the backyard, deck out your basement for a party zone, or throw it in your living room.

When selecting a venue, consider the number of guests you’ll be inviting, the type of music you’ll be playing, and the overall atmosphere you want to create. Make sure the venue has enough space for a dancefloor, seating areas, and food and drink stations.

Disco Decorations

To create a disco ambiance, decorate the venue with glittery disco balls, colourful streamers, and balloons. You can also use retro props like lava lamps, vinyl records, and 70s-style posters to set the mood.

Table decorations can include disco-themed balloon banners, such as mirror balls or mini disco balls. You can also use glittery tablecloths, napkins, and plates to add a disco sparkle to your party.

Lighting and Sound

Lighting and sound are crucial elements of a disco-themed bachelorette party. You can rent disco lights, strobe lights, and spotlights to create an electrifying atmosphere. Make sure the lighting is not too bright, as it can kill the disco vibe.

When it comes to music, create a playlist of disco classics, including hits from the Bee Gees, Donna Summer, and Gloria Gaynor. You can also hire a DJ to keep the music flowing and the dance floor packed.

Photo Booth

A photo booth is a great way to capture memories from the disco themed bachelorette party. Set up a photo booth area with a disco ball backdrop, props such as wigs, sunglasses, and feather boas, and a camera or phone to take pictures. Encourage guests to take silly and fun pictures together.

You can also grab our printable Last Disco Photo Props as an instant download, making a great addition to the photo booth!

Provide a Polaroid camera or instant printer so that guests can take home their pictures as souvenirs.

Dance Lessons

For those who want to take their dancing skills to the next level, hiring a dance instructor for the party is a great idea. The instructor can teach everyone some classic disco moves like the Hustle, the Electric Slide, and the YMCA.

Another option is to take a dance class before the party. Many dance studios offer disco-themed dance classes for groups. This is a fun way to learn some new moves and get everyone in the disco spirit before the party even starts.

Or for a more low key but hilarious game, this Disco Balls dance game is sure to get the party startred.

Disco Ball Pinata

A disco ball pinata is a fun and interactive way to get the party started. Fill it with small disco-themed items such as sunglasses, glitter, and small disco balls. You can also include some candy or other treats for the guests to enjoy. Hang the pinata from the ceiling and let the guests take turns trying to break it open. This will create a fun and exciting atmosphere that everyone will enjoy.
