Disco Fever

Welcome to the disco!

To celebrate surviving 2016 and to have a good time with a few friends before everyone disappears for the festive season, we decided to have another themed bash, and this time, we went for colour, sparkle, funk and music.

Disco is a very versatile option for a themed party, since it spans several decades and styles, and most people will be able to find a few things in their closets that will suit the occasion. Throw in a few handfuls of glow sticks, dig out the Christmas lights, pile on the snacks, and you have a party!

We also switched on the PS3 for a SingStar competition. In party mode, everyone gets a chance to compete, and the mic is switched so often that no one feels particularly exposed, with all the confusion and laughter. Even the more reluctant singers started requesting songs and participating.

Easy decor: put glow sticks into bottles with water, and scatter old CDs around

We bought a small mirror ball and Marius made it work by rigging it next to a head lamp in the corner of the room

What is a party without food? Also, we streamed a lava lamp background on the laptop, for extra ambience.

Some festive champagne drinks welcomed the guests

These cool glowing lollipops were sold at a party store near us.

Lights and a nice backdrop. Annalene had some time on her hands to paint the slogans before the party.

The groovy disco people. Everyone dressed up!

Carla and Wolf keeping it classy.

Igi went all out. The pants were a highlight of the evening.
