70's/80's Birthday Party

Hi everyone

Just a little advice needed it is my 40th birthday next sunday and I am having a themed birthday party brought both kids a 70's outfit but now need suggestions for food plz and decorations for the room. I would like to do the party for under £300 for 80 people. doing my own catering to keep costs down. the theme for the party is 70's/80's with only music for these years being played.

All ideas gratefully recieved

Thanks Bev x

    I just had a 70s theme party for my husbands 40th. It was great I bought a 70s room scene setter cost about £40 for the whole living room to be transformed and it looked great. I had disco lights etc borrow lava lamps, disco balls if you can.

    Have a great time.

    Hi - food could be:
    sausage rolls
    cheese and pineapple on sticks (stick into an orange!)
    black forest gateau
    sausages on sticks
    chicken drumsticks
    vol au vents
    half boiled eggs (stuffed?)
    fondue set
    lemon meringue pie
    cheese and cracker platter

    Update - you can probably pick up one of those disco ball/lgihts quite cheaply adn they do the silver foil curtains on ebay for under a fiver - Shimmer Foil Door Curtain Christmas Party Decoration .
