You need fondue for sure. Appetizers with toothpicks in them. Cubes
of cheese will do. Oh and California dip which was a Lipton onion
soup packet mixed into a container of sour cream. Serve with potato
chips. Guacamole and salsa were just becoming popular back then and
Fritos were the only corn chip to be found. I used to make rumaki
too. I first ate spaghetti and clams - and ARTICHOKES around that
time. The memories are flooding back. A fun dessert would be squares
of that layered jello you pick up and eat with your fingers. I forget
what it's called.

This should get you started

What part of the country are you in? Have the people who are hosting
interviewed their parents (or grandparents) to find out what they
served/ate at parties back then?
