1970s Suburban Thanksgiving

I love a themed thanksgiving.


Two years ago I did a 1956 themed thanksgiving and it was fabulous.

This year, my Cupcake friend and I are doing a 1970s-Suburban themed Thanksgiving.

Yes, its pretty specific. And the inspiration for it was the Ang Lee film, The Ice Storm.





Think lots of brown, lots of corduroy, lots of casseroles and lots of stiff drinks.



This is not disco 70s, but the suburban 70s. An era of swingers and key-parties.

College-educated bored, bitter housewives with an eye on the pool boy (or each other).



Fondue!



So everyone is asked to bring a casserole. I will be wearing a vintage 70s dress with boots and seventies straight straight hair (I should probably iron it to be really authentic).

I've been scavenging thrift stores for 70s finds. Yesterday, I found yellow, orange and brown crocheted placemats and some books on marriage from the 70s, "How To Have a Happy Husband" and "Finding Intimacy Together!" I'll be sure to recomend them to my dinner guests!



A friend is lending me A Charlie Brown Thanksgiving.


So pictures I'm sure next week.

Any other ideas for me???
