I’m excited to share this fun idea for your little girl’s party – a disco dance party filled with dancing, giggles, and lots of groovy fun!

As a mom who loves planning memorable celebrations, I can guarantee that this theme will have your daughter and her friends dancing with joy!

Invitations

Let’s start with the basics: the invitation. Send a fun disco themed invitation to set the tone for this fun disco birthday event. Encourage guests to wear their favorite disco attire, as well as planning to have some fun accessories on hand when they arrive. I’ve linked some fun things here and here.

Stylish Decor & Setting the Table

To create a charming and classic disco-themed birthday party for a child, start by setting the stage with a vibrant color palette of neon colors such as purple, pink, yellow and silver. Greet guests with disco balloons on the mailbox. As your guests arrive, have some fun disco tunes playing at the area of the party entrance.

Transform the party area into a mini disco by hanging shimmering fabric and stringing fairy lights to create a fun and inviting atmosphere. Scatter disco balls around the space for that iconic mirror-ball sparkle. Create a designated dance floor with a dance mat, and encourage guests to show off their dance moves. Set up a photo booth with props like funky sunglasses, glittery hats, and feather boas to capture memorable moments.

Use themed tablecloths, plates, and cups in coordinating colors to tie the decor together. Incorporate music notes or disco themed artwork into signage and banners for an added touch. Don’t forget a dessert table including disco ball cupcakes, and colorful candies displayed in retro-style bowls. This combination of vibrant colors, shimmering decor, and playful accessories will surely make the birthday celebration a hit!

Disco Party Menu

Now, onto the menu. Keep things simple yet delicious with a kid-friendly spread. Mini sliders, rainbow fruit skewers, and bite-sized cupcakes will keep the energy high for all those dance moves. Don’t forget a dazzling disco themed cake as the centerpiece – it’s sure to be a showstopper!

• Disco Ball Cupcakes:
  • Add mini disco toppers to make the cupcakes special!
• Funky Fruit Skewers:
  • Use super bright and fun colors on a fun skewer.
• Star-shaped Sandwiches:
  • Make “twinkle” turkey and cheese sandwiches for an easy and fun snack.
• Rainbow Sherbet Floats:
  • Serve these floats with a disco ball straw!

Party Activities

For activities, kick off the celebration with some roller skating fun. Set up a mini roller rink area and let the kids glide to their heart’s content. Have a playlist with some classic disco tunes on the list, while also including some of their modern day favorites.

Next up, karaoke! Set up a stage with a karaoke machine and let the guests showcase their singing talents.

And, of course, what’s a disco party without a dance floor? Create a glittering dance area with a disco ball and let the kids dance their hearts out. Play some age-appropriate disco hits, and watch as they twirl and spin in delight. Organize a dance contest with some fun prizes for best disco dancing!

Party Favors

As the party winds down, send the kiddos home with a little disco-inspired party favor box – some glittery sunglasses or mini disco balls would be a fun take home surprise.

A disco party is a such a fun and easy-to-plan theme that promises loads of laughter and unforgettable moments. I linked my favorite disco themed party goodies below. Happy party planning!
