The 70s are shining again with mirror balls, sequins, and shimmering metallics. Think velvet lounge seating, disco lighting, and classic cocktails served under a soft golden glow.

Planning tip: Rent or DIY a mini dance floor and play a curated 70s playlist for instant mood elevation. 

Electric colors and geometric shapes define the 80s look. Neon signage, cassette table accents, and arcade-style desserts bring energy and nostalgia together.

Planning tip: Use blacklight LED strips or a neon photo wall to make your dessert table pop in every picture. 

If you love bold prints, denim, and throwback playlists, a 90s theme hits perfectly. Think bright balloon arches, smiley-face cake toppers, and polaroid stations for a fun twist on nostalgia.

Planning tip: Add a “then & now” photo board showing childhood to adulthood — it always gets guests talking. 

Retro doesn’t have to mean clutter. Keep décor cohesive with one base color palette, metallic accent, and layered lighting. Mix authentic details (vinyl records, boombox centerpieces) with elevated table styling for a polished finish.

Planning tip: A simple black or white backdrop with colored uplighting brings balance to bold retro décor.
