Big styles, lots of white, it’s the ABBA party
Have you seen the Meryl Streep and Amanda Seyfried movie musical released last year? My goodness! When I saw the movie, I fell in love with this song and other songs in the movie. It was like relieving the days of ABBA once again.
Abba has been one of the mainstays of the 70’s music industry until his last recording in the early 80’s. Many people, young and old, have fallen in love with his music. With the release of Mamma Mia, it was as if Abba was back in the spotlight.
Abba Party anyone?
When I was thinking of a suitable party for my friends, I came up with the idea of an Abba Party theme. Why? Because when I saw how they reacted when they heard the song Mamma Mia and I Have a Dream, I was immediately sure that the Abba Party theme would be a hit.
The whole idea of Abba Party is to revive the 70’s era of Abba but to put a touch of today. Of course, the night must be a night of music and must highlight the songs of the Abba band.
Abba Party Ideas
coming
The setting for Abba’s party can be a 70’s backdrop in a bar where Abba’s music can be played continuously or your own place decorated with 70’s stuff. Depending on your budget, you can choose the actual bar and rent it for the group or decorate your house to look like a disco.
It’s relatively easy if you have the budget to reserve a bar for your group. All you need to do is tell the manager to prepare the place for an Abba party. In addition to the ’70s backdrop, you may also want to include Abba album posters to breathe the Abba vibe into the venue.
If you’re on a tight budget and decide to turn your venue into a 70’s Abba Party hub, try creating a disco-like atmosphere by using cardboard placed on the floors and decorating the walls with bright colored paper. Opt for orange, lime green and yellow!
The music should create a distinctive atmosphere at the party. Abba’s songs must play continuously in the background. At the beginning of the party, she selects the most famous songs. Mamma Mia is an ideal option as it is used with the recent movie. Guests must be able to identify that the music being played is by Abba, so the selection of the first few songs is very critical. The rest can be randomly selected because towards the end, if the guests don’t know the song, they’ll just react, “Oh, so it’s still Abba’s!”
The look
It’s time to open the closet and get the 70’s clothes out of the boxes! The 70’s is the era of colorful and psychedelic clothing. Choose flared, flared pants and leather jackets. Color matching rules were simply forgotten in this era. Of course, since this is an Abba match, the Abba elements should be present in addition to the ’70s.
If you want to go big Abba, put on a white suit and bring out the afro wig! That will surely do the job. There are thousands of photos of Abba on the net where you can get inspired.
On the other hand, if you’re trying to be a little conservative, you can wear a bright-colored top and then cover it with a wide, same-color headband.
