A groovy decade party is such a fun theme for guests of all ages! And it was just what my family needed this summer to celebrate being with friends again. During the dog days of the season we had some 1970s fun at our house…and because the music of the decade is so fabulous, the teenagers participated too! Simple but festive 70s decor, treats, and of course, great tunes made this little summertime soiree feel like a real bash! We kept it simple by having guests each bring an appetizer to share and that gave me more time to concentrate on all the fun stuff without worrying about all the food. And when I refer to the fun, I mean the decor! A blend of flower-power with a touch of disco is how I decorated…and I’m excited to share the simple ideas and party tips with you today…
