A Nightclub Themed Party

Nightclub Themed Party Decorations

ATMOSPHERE

Have a Grand Entrance -- Have your guests feel like they are really arriving at their favorite nightclub by setting up a great entry. First, roll out a red carpetleading to your door. Then, set up a red rope railing at the entrance. A fun idea is to have someone act as a bouncer to check off each guest's name as they arrive. If you've made VIP pass invitations, you might have them show these at the door!

Play Great Music -- One of the things that makes a nightclub fun is the music. If your budget allows, definitely consider hiring a DJ for the night to keep the party hopping. If not, set up a sound system with speakers that are powerful enough to fill your space with sound. Then make a party playlist to ensure that the music will keep rolling for the entire event.

Make a Grafitti Wall -- A fun idea for a nightclub themed party that is both a decoration and an activity is to create a grafitti wall. You could either cover a wall with a pre-made design such as the one in the above picture that has the guest of honor's name on it, or just put up a large sheet of butcher paper and some markers or paint and let your guests create their own wall art. (If you are using black light, you could hang a white sheet and let your guests use highlighters or glow in the dark paint to write on it.)

Lighting -- Most nightclubs are dark, and have some specialty lighting to make them exciting. Here are some more nightclub party decoration options to consider:

• Hang twinkle lights
• Hang a lighted disco ball
• Replace your regular lightbulbs with black lights and have a glow in the dark party
• Replace your regular lightbulbs with colored bulbs
• Buy or rent strobe lights or colored laser lights

Special Effects -- Another fun option for creating a nightclub atmosphere is to use a fog machine.

Balloons, etc. -- A fun way to decorate using balloons is to either purchase glow in the dark balloons, or stick green glowsticks into white or lime green balloons before blowing them up. White streamers also glow under blacklight, and glow in the dark stars make fun table confetti.

DANCE AREA -- Creating an area for your guests to dance is an important part of your nightclub paty decor. This could be as simple as clearing out the furniture, or you could go one step further and put down linoleum floor tiles to create an actual dance floor.

BAR AREA -- Set up one space in your party area as a bar. If your party is in your home, often a kitchen island, counter, or table works well for this. Be creative! Here are some ideas for decorating your bar area:

• Hang a metallic fringe curtain behind the bar
• Use additional twinkle lights or other fun lighting so the bar area stands out
• If you have dim lighting or are using blacklights, serve your drinks in glow in the dark cups or glow in the dark plastic ice cubes
• Set up an ice luge

SEATING -- Having a seating area is a great idea at a nightclub themed party because it allows your guests to take a break from dancing to sit and talk. Consider clustering some of your couches and chairs into a conversation area, or setting up small cocktail tables with some chairs near your dance area. You could also make seating out of large pillows, beanbag chairs, or inexpensive inflatable chairs.

Nightclub Themed Party Activities

• Use glowsticks to play flashlight tag

• Set up a photo backdrop area or photo booth containing a basket of disposable cameras or a camera on a tripod, fill it with some fun props like sunglasses, feather boas, hats and wigs, and let your guests ham it up!

• Pass out glow in the dark body paint so your friends can decorate themselves or each other

• Set out colored temporary spray-in hair color that will make hair glow in neon colors for your party

• Set up an ice luge at your bar

• Hand out glow in the dark necklaces, bracelets, and rings

Nightclub Themed Party Food and Drinks

The best foods for a nightclub themed party are finger foods that you can set out at different spots around your party area. This way people can pick up snacks as they mingle and dance and they won't have to worry about using utensils and sitting down.

• Small sandwiches
• A Veggie Tray
• A Fruit Tray
• Cheese and Crackers
• Cocktail Weiners

Have some fun with the drinks you serve at your party. Consider offering a variety of cocktails or mocktails like a real nightclub would. Tonic water and lime soda will glow in the dark under blacklight, which makes them great choices. Here are some more:

• A Sunrise -- Orange juice and grenadine and a cherry (add tequila for the adults)
• A Paradise -- Pineapple and coconut juice (add rum for adults)
• A Cooler -- Sprite and lemonade (Vodka optional)

You can make your drinks even more special by serving them in fun glasses, sugaring the rims, or adding glowing accessories.
