When Alex first came up with this 70's disco party theme a lot of his friends sorta smurked and said
"WHAT" a themed party? Some even said they would not dress up. Alex made that mandatory, or you could not come!
They all came dressed and it was a HUGE smash.
My house is getting back to normal now.
I have lots of pics to share, so sit back and enjoy your trip back in time.
Let's start with Mr. Cool and his GOODWILL outfit. It cost me $6.00 and he loved it so much he said I should wear this to school,
Ummm....NO! I don't think polyester is in. Although he was sportin the look for sure!
I found some really cute party decor on line....
The disco ball I bought online at Walmart. We had 70's karoke, and 70's music playing all night.
What would a cool 70's party be without twister? Boys and girls of course played that one!
We cleared out the coffee table and rug to make a nice dance floor. The couch was later pushed back as far as we could go.
I will make special note, that Jack was suppose to be bribed to stay up stairs for the night. Did that happen NO!
But I will tell you he made a great little spy! At one point he came outside where we were hanging and said
Mom, Alex and his friends are looking for an empty bottle...hmmmmmmmmmmm....
His friends were so funny, they all gag gifted him BREAD, biscuits, etc...
of course the real present was inside the bread. LOL...It was funny!
I snuck in a few times and tried to get some pictures of them dancing...this is with the flash on, it was pretty dark and club like in there.
NOTE: Jack in the mix again!
Our friends even had fun dressing up for the party!
Like the pink boots?
You may remember them from my friend
Vicky, who sent them to me.
She is a big
thrifter herself, and she found these on one of her hunts. I spied them in a post, and mentioned how cute they were.
The next thing I know, they were in the mail to me!
For the record, there is Mike, smiling and sweaty.
(Carol) he really does have teeth, and (
Kim) he does not look mean! Good thing, I don't tell him how hard you girls are on him.
Really, I don't have a toothless, mean husband LOL!
I have my party hair/wig on. I love it because it looks so natural. A bit itchy though.
The kids were outside at this point so we snuck in, sang a karoke song, and danced for a few ourselves.
Forgot to mention, I kept the food simple.
Hot dogs, condiments, chips and pretzels...lots of coco cola too!
One more pic, I grabbed it from one of Alex's friends facebook. Not sure how he did this, but it is simply awesome...
Thanks for sharing Alex's special day with us..we all had a blast!

Oh, this brings back memories. I was a teenager in the 70's, but I didn't have any sweet pink boots!
It looks like your son and his friends had a great time. He looks pretty slick and is darn talented to have mastered that huge poster design.
I do remember playing "spin the bottle" at a few of those parties!
So glad my mother never found out!!
What a fun party!! Look how cute you are in your disco outfit and those pink boots!! Mike, I said you looked mean not that you were.
omg looked like so much fun Alex looked like Mike use to dress when you met him lol wish i was there to husel :)
Fun, Fun!! Love the outfit Debbie, I remember when the pink boots were gifted to you. They look great for the occasion.
Looks and sounds like the party was a success. Wonder what they wanted an empty bottle for ? Hummmm! is right. :-D

Your son and his friends must have had a blast!
What a cool party Deb!! You look good too girl!
Looks like you all have a great time, and the decoration is wonderful.
Oh gosh, did you bring back the memories! (Not that I am old enough to remember the 70's *cough*) Loved the smiley faces and peace signs and tie dye. And oh, those boots are to die for. You and your hubby look so cute! I think you had just as much fun as your son. Right on!
What a fun party! The kids looked so cool in their outfits and it looked like they had a wonderful time!
Don't laugh, but my daughter's spring wedding theme is "Peace, Love and Music" and she wants lots of Beatles music to be played. Other than that I don't know how we'll incorporate this theme into her wedding but I may need those pink bootts, Debbie...lol
I have been corrected TEETH, yes hunky man has TEETH, and nice ones at that! What fun, how did his friend do that picture??? I bet it was the best party the kids have ever been too....And Miss Debbie, you looked mighty groovy!

What a cool party Debbie and a cool kid w/ awesome parents!! It looked like so much fun. My dd is really into the 70's herself. She'd have loved it! I really love the photo he did from FB!! So cute w/ Jack sneaking in, sounds like my 2 girls.
LOVED your boots and seeing them again. You sure have the legs for them and I just thought your hair had grown so it did look natural!!!
Fun times lady! I bet they'll be talking about that party for years to come!

Deb,
you are truly a wonderful Mom. I admire your ability not just to deal with kids but to actually enjoy them.
applause to you and hoping your kids know how lucky they are.
Looks like it was a great party!!! You looked adorable....as usual! XO, Pinky
What a fun party, Debbie! Those kids will remember it always!!

Love your wig Debbie! Happy belated birthday to Alex. Looks like everyone had a great time, which makes a party a hit. As for the 70s clothes.....I hate to say I thought they were really ugly the first time around, and yes, I was around the first time. Eeks! Let Alex wear that polyester around the house, but turn off the air conditioner. Somehow I doubt you'd have to worry about him wearing that shirt in public anymore! Have a great Tuesday!
Yall sure know how to have fun!
~Jo
Loving the pink boots!!
Teaching our kids to throw a rocking party.....that's what life is all about!! Enjoy the "little" stuff!
~~Wendy
Fabulous party Debbie! It certainly looks like everyone had a fabulous time! I love that Alex made costumes mandatory! You looked fabulous in your outfit! I did a double take at your hair and then saw your comment about it being a wig! I was going to ask you what supplements you were taking to make your hair grow so quickly!
