You could do a fondue party, I know its popular now, but I thinkit was pretty popular in the 70's

Smilie faces, flower power, peace signs, hang a curtain made of beads in a doorway.

Oriental trading has lots of little things you could incoropate into the decor or use as party faovrs/giveaways.

And you MUST go to your local record store and pick up some of those "Have A Nice Day" 70's CD's. They have all the "never hear it on the radio anymore" songs from the decade.

Your party guests will love them.

Don't forget to dress in your best platform shoes......

Didn't leave the house without a pair in the 70's.

Remember hot pants, and giant bell bottom pants....

I do

Leisure Suits. Strobe light. Paisley shirt unbuttoned halfway down with a big gold chain. The Bump. Disco Duck. "Far out!"

I think TWISTER would be fun. Don't get hurt.

The only suggestion I can think of is illegal.
