It’s Time to Dance! All the Best Disco Party Invitation Ideas

A disco party is a lively way to celebrate any occasion, whether it’s a big birthday or a bridal shower. Your event is all about getting together for dancing, laughter, and good times — and you deserve disco party invitations to match.

In this guide, we’ll share how to create your own disco party invites the easy way. Plus, get tips on how to make your invites feel special, what to include, and where to find incredible designs.

How to Create the Best Disco Party Invitations

Themed party invites are an amazing way to make your event feel even more exciting. Here’s how to transform a standard invite into something memorable for your disco party bash.

Be Inspired By Your Theme

Just as your party theme helps you find the perfect party supplies and outfit, it can also be a great help in choosing your invites. Look for a design that features a big shiny disco ball, people on a dance floor, a retro jukebox, or dancing shoes. These elements are a useful way to signal to guests what to expect and get them excited about what’s to come.

Match Your Color Scheme

If your event has a color scheme, look for invites that match or complement it — it’s a great way to tie everything together. If you don’t have an overall color scheme, be inspired by other elements like a decade, your favorite color, or a popular theme like rainbow or metallics. With disco balls involved, you’re never far from sparkles!

Add Some Funky Wording

Disco parties are full of energy and joy, and you can be playful with your invite wording. Invite guests to “dance the night away” or “grab their dancing shoes” to join you for the party of the decade. Whether you’re hosting a ‘70s groovy disco or a more modern or sophisticated take on the theme, here’s some wording inspiration:

• It’s disco time!
• Get your dancing shoes on.
• There’s no party like an ‘80s party.
• It’s dancing time!
• Ready for a groovy night?
• We’ve got that disco fever!
• Get ready to boogie!

Use Digital Invitations

Design: Owl and Toad

Finding the ideal printable or traditional party invite can be almost impossible — especially if you’re limited by budget or geography. But with digital invitations, you don’t have those restrictions, so you can DIY your own perfect match!

All of Greenvelope’s online invitations can be customized — including this bold and bright disco ball invite. You can experiment with different layouts, colors, fonts, and wording. Each editable template can be transformed into a bespoke-feel invite without the expense — giving you a dreamy disco birthday party invitation, baby shower invite, or New Year’s Eve party invitation in minutes. You can even customize the envelope style so it complements the look you’re going for.

What to Include on Your Disco Party Invitations

We love adding some flair to our disco party invites, but it’s also important to cover all the essentials. Here’s what to include on your party invitations so your guests know exactly what to expect.

Date and Time

Clearly state the date and time of the celebration, including a time zone if you’re hosting a virtual party. Let guests know when they should arrive and include an end time too if you have one. If you’re not sure, just say you’ll be partying until late!

Party Location

Include the details for the party venue so everyone knows where they should go on the big day. Make it even easier for guests that are traveling by including the full street address and zip code and embedding a Google Map. For more informal get-togethers, you can relax this a little if you know that “Sam’s house” is enough info for everyone involved.

Dress Code

With themed parties, it’s easy for guests to get confused over whether they should dress up or not. Create a better experience for everyone by including your dress code on your party invites. Let guests know they should arrive in decade-appropriate outfits for your ’70s disco party or encourage people to wear their most glamorous suits and gowns for your New Year’s Eve bash.

Where to Find More Details

Beyond these basics, there are often other details your guests might want to know in advance. If you’re serving food or drink, you could include information about this. For a wedding or elegant dinner, you might want to capture food choices in advance — something you can do easily with Greenvelope’s built-in survey questions.

For a big celebration where there’s travel involved, share your insider knowledge on parking, public transport, and where to stay with your loved ones. You can use Greenvelope’s details panel to give them all the information they need, without cluttering up the actual invitation.

RSVP Information

Finally, advise your guests on how they should RSVP and what the deadline is. Set the RSVP date for 1-2 weeks before the big day, depending on the type and size of event. For small gatherings, you could ask loved ones to send you a message by email or text. For a more formal event, a phone call is a more traditional response.

However, it can be challenging to manually track and manage RSVPs. With Greenvelope, you can encourage guests to RSVP right from the invitation in just a few clicks, no matter the size or style of your event. You can then manage your guest list in one place and even set up automated reminders.
