  • Start with the hits

    Queue up six of the year's biggest songs from the Cash Box top 15: "Love Will Keep Us Together," "Rhinestone Cowboy," "Fame," "Shining Star," "Lady Marmalade" and "One of These Nights."

  • Name that singer

    Pause each song after a few notes and challenge every table to shout the artist first. Hand out a bonus point for humming the chorus.

  • A 1975 movie night

    Pick Jaws (rated PG) when children are in the room, and save Cuckoo's Nest or Dog Day Afternoon, both rated R, for an adults-only screening. Serve popcorn and cheese cubes cut like fins.

  • Pet Rock place cards

    Give every guest a smooth stone with their name written on it, and let them take it home as the favor. Invent a one-page training manual for the table.

  • A handshake in orbit

    Borrow the Apollo-Soyuz moment as an icebreaker. Pair guests who have never met, give them two minutes to find three things in common, and have them shake hands to score a point.

  • Dress for the year

    Invite guests to come in wide collars and platform shoes, in a Steelers jersey, as a Saturday Night sketch character or as a Welcome Back, Kotter classmate.

  • A retro snack table

    Set out party foods from the era: a fondue pot with bread cubes, deviled eggs, a pineapple cheese ball and a relish tray. Add a nonalcoholic punch for guests who prefer one.

  • Guess the 1975 price

    Put a postage stamp, a gas pump and a pound of bacon on index cards. Guests write down what they think each cost in 1975, then compare with the prices section above.
