Answer 3

Bay City Rollers attire a must. Men resembling Leo Sayer (sporting  totally-unacceptable 'Afros') - women looking like

(a knickerless) Jay Aston (!) lifting a leg, whilst singing "save your kisses for me." As I'm writing this, the smile on my face ought be seen to be believed!

Answer 4

Since the 70s were a colourful time, you will need lots of colourful decorations, costumes and food.

For drinks you could have cherry, lime, orange fizzy drinks or buy lemonade and add your choice of food colouring as this wont leave a funny taste or discolour your mouth.

Food will be easy, make a batch of fairy cakes and buy 3 different food colourings, add one food colouring to each cake and make sure they are laid out in a funky pattern. You could have healthy food like fruit salad or cocktail as this is very bright. Sausage rolls, pasties, Biscuits, cakes, sandwiches and other party foods can be laid out on decorative plates or napkins.

Since the summer climate is usually warm, you could maybe have the party outside, maybe under a gazebo or tent. Make sure the food is covered until guests arrive as you wouldn't want pesky ants and flies getting in the food and beverages.

Good luck and happy birthday !

Answer 5

Answer 7

leisure suits or polyester print (long-sleeved) shirts and flare pants for the men - hot pants and white go-go boots for the women .......Disco balls;  mirrors (use mirror squares under some candles on tables - or under platters of food) .... glitter in the invitation envelopes   .....  strobe lights  .....disco music & rent "Saturday Night Live" and have it on a tv.....

Answer 8

yeah dont have one, i was born in 71 and it was shite, flares stampers, jeans with no zips.  i think i was about 7 or 8 before i got my first pair of jeans. no zips just an elasticated waitband so i could pull them down quick.  stampers should have carried a health warning, i felt like an aquanaut dragging lead boots wearing those things.  theres nothing wrong with the year you live in, the 70's sucked so did the 80's and 90's i quite like 2008 myself.

Answer 9

Disco ball, strobe lights, fake afros, bell bottoms, Saturday Night Fever, Farrah Fawcett, Donna Summers and the Bee Gees posters. Have some guests come in roller skates. Of course you must have a great DJ with a good variety of disco music. If you are older you could theme it Studio 54 and as a joke have mirrors on the table with fake baby powder in lines with straws and razor blades.  (Drug Joke).
