Disco Inferno: How to Plan the Ultimate Bachelorette Party
From choosing a disco theme to when to hold the party, what tunes to play and how to keep guests entertained with activities, there’s a lot that goes into planning the perfect disco bachelorette party. You can do it no matter what budget or skill level, time constraint, or knowledge of disco thanks to this party planning guide.
First, what is a disco bachelorette party is so you know exactly how to get started.
What is a Disco Bachelorette Party?
For starters, what is a disco bachelorette bash? Disco refers to dancing and is a style of dance from the 1970s era.
The style of music has a lot of soul influence and melody, with a fun bass-powered beat. You’ve likely heard songs that are popular from the era: this song, this one, and this classic are all popular hits from the disco era.
In its most simplest form, any disco-themed bash is going to be centered on music and dancing. If that sounds good to the bride, move on to the next steps: when to have the party and where.
Selecting the Theme and Timing
When to Throw a Disco Bachelorette Party
Venue: The best time to host a bachelorette party with a disco theme is anytime: this theme truly works whether it is spring, summer, winter, or fall.
As a rule of thumb, the bachelorette party typically takes place three months to two weeks before the wedding, so pick a date anywhere in that window for the party to occur.
With that being said, you’ll find this theme occurring most often in the spring and summer months, leading up to the most popular time of year for weddings: peak summer and fall months.
Once you have the date nailed down, let’s choose a location.
Here are some of the most memorable places to throw a disco-themed bachelorette party.
• Dance Hall
• Nightclub
• Popular Nightspot
• Skating Rink
• Host the party at home
• Event Space / Banquet Hall
The proper venue is essential for a disco bachelorette party: you need plenty of room for dancing, loud music, and food/drinks. It can be lowkey: plan the party at home, in the backyard, deck out your basement for a party zone, or throw it in your living room. Just move over furniture and make sure there’s plenty of room to dance.
If you plan to go all out, rent out a small event space, like a banquet hall, which already has a dance floor built in (bonus!) You can even hire a DJ to spin tunes so you and your bachelorettes can disco the night away.
If you have local hotspots in a popular venue — like Miami, Chicago, Palm Springs, Nashville, etc. — you can get your dancing on at a popular nightclub in town. Just be sure to book the space as VIPs so you can all get in, have an awesome table as a “home spot” to throw your purses and drinks, and plenty of room on the dance floor to go all out.
Now that you have the date and the venue, it’s time to make a guest list and send invites. Consult with the bride on whom she’d like to invite to the party. Typically, the bachelorette party guest list will include the bride, her mom, future MIL, maid of honor, bridesmaids, siblings, and close family members, along with friends. It doesn’t have to be a gigantic list — although it can, if that’s her style. Discuss the date, venue, theme, and ideas you have with the bride and obtain a guest list from her.

Then, it’s time to pick out invitations and mail them to your guests.

Sending Disco Bachelorette Party Invitations
Invites: Send the party invites approximately 4 to 6 weeks before the bachelorette party. This is important so you know how many guests will attend the disco-fueled bash, how much food to order, how many drinks you’ll need, and what activities you’ll plan to do.
Your party can be centered around disco balls, lights, and dancing… or opt for a groovy flowery theme, which is very 70s and perfectly fitting here.
Choose a tagline you like and run with it: “Bride’s Last Disco”, “Groovy & Boozy”, “Bach to the 70s”, “Dancing Queens / Dancing Bride”, or “Bach Disco Fever” are just a few popular suggestions.
Here are some ideas for bachelorette invitations with a disco theme.
