We used these to decorate the lounge room - aka dancing room. We moved excess furniture out, to have more space. First hang up our Room Roll Scene Setters which measure 50 feet long, instantly transform any space. Add some scene setter add-ons, 2 giant disco dancers, this really looks great with room rolls. Hang up a 6 ft jointed letter banner reads DISCO PARTY and some paper lantern garland (ea. pack is 12 ft long) . A multipack of hanging swirl decorations ( 5 in a pack each measuring 24 inches ) and a disco foil doorway dangler.We added streamers in white and pink that were looped around the room. Pop-up centerpieces 10'' tall reading disco party will be a fun table decoration with some sprinkled disco metallic-prismatic confetti. A 12 ft long disco dancers ceiling decoration and a 7 ft dangling cascade column decoration. I managed to find some pink blow up microphones so we hung 2 large ones from the ceiling, and also a shimmering spiral decoration that hung down to the floor. If its a birthday party hang up one of our 12ft foil banners that reads Happy Birthday. We had a silver disco ball hanging in the middle of the room, and also a motorised coloured light type disco ball that rotated that we place on top of the TV cabinet. Party lights are great for any room of the house, parties and special occasions such as a disco dance party. 1 pack of disco electric lights measure at 14 feet long made for indoor or outdoor use.We also placed a couple of lava lamps in the room for extra effect. I cut silver and pink crepe paper into streamers forming 'wavy' strips and stapled them to a strip of cardboard at the top to make streamer curtains that we hung in all the door ways. I made them half height so they looked good without getting in the way of kids running through. We had helium pink and silver balloons tied to a balloon weight as a centerpeice. Kids Party Supplies world.com has a great selection of disco balloons and other birthday party supplies that would work nicely. The final touches to the decorations was that we hired a helium tank from the local party shop and inflated 50 hot pink balloons tied with silver ribbon, and 50 silver balloons tied with hot pink ribbon. These really made the party atmosphere. To about half the balloons we tied a glow in the dark braclet in various colours. This looked super cool, with the lights dimmed. Some balloons floated so the glowing ring was suspended, and some sank to the floor holding the balloons at mid height. This was a huge hit and looked really great. (I think it was how much helium in the balloon that determined this).

When the guests arrived, we had the music going and the lights dimmed and the coloured disco ball going. The kids were happy to dance and play with the balloons while everyone arrived. First game was pass the parcel - made up with one layer for each child in alternating pink and silver tissue paper, plus an extra layer in the very middle that was wrapped in gold that contained the prize. Each layer was a glow braclet so everyone could have their own glowing jewelry. When the music stopped whoever holding the parcel opened one layer. When everyone had one, it was the final layer I turned my back so as it was ranom who one the main prize. (a hot pink stuffed toy dragon). Then we did musical statues, musical bobs and the limbo. After that they did free dancing while I got the icecreams served. The girls then came in and made their sundaes. As a more quite game after eating we played passed the microphone, where everyone sat in a circle, and when the music stopped whoever was holding the microphone had to sing a song. They then got to chose a prize from the basket, which included makeup, hair things etc. This was quite cute. Then they danced a bit more, (while I cleaned up from the icecream)and we did the birthday cake.(candles,sing happy birthday etc) We were running out of time by now, so the girls went back to the disco room, and my daughter opened her gifts, and thanked the girls. We cut each child a peice of cake and wrapped it to take home.

Goody bags were hot pink and I printed out a thank you label to each guest and stuck that on the front. Inside we put a heart necklace that was filled with lollies, a couple of braclets, and some candy. Each guest also took home glow bracelets, a couple of balloons and peice of birthday cake. It was over before we knew it, but I think everyone had a great time. I know I was exhausted at the end ! If we had more time/energy I was thinking fairly lights strung around would have looked nice too. It is mid winter here, so we were confined to indoors, so thats why we didn't do a pianta. We were lucky that due to the cool weather the helium balloons stayed up until the next day, so my kids had a blast just playing with the 50 or so left over balloons !
