We were thinking about getting Pink Ladies Jackets for the girls and T-Bird Jacket for the blokes and I'm gonna have a Rubiks Cube Birthday Cake but I would love some more ideas for maximum nostalgia.

I would really like the blast from past ideas to cover my younger years so from 1977 to mid 1990's maybe. Would just like lots of things that create nostalgia and trigger some childhood memories(my friends & I are all around same age) and a bit of a giggle. Some EXCELLENT suggestions so far though, thanks everyone!

Have a Twister contest, scavenger hunt, get some old fashioned candy from the 80's that would be fun!

I believe "Baby Come Back" by Player debuted in 1977 and hit #1 in '78. Personally, I cant think of a better way to swing into a 30th birthday party/nostalgic adventure than to crank up one of these classic favorites and reminisce with friends on a great musical era.

music, totally classic hits.
food, whatever came into being then
EXTRA PARTY TIPS:
start out the party with the music softer, so people can talk and mingle, as the night grows late, turn up the volume a little. Provide plenty of room to dance, don't serve the cake last, if you have some friends who are very wild, take car keys at the door.

1977? Ok, How about Disco? Get out your polyester and leisure suits! Get some great Bee Gees music going and maybe rent a copy of "Saturday Night Fever", get the gold medalions on and stacked heels! Have a great birthday!

you could have a fancy dress but thay all have to come as someone from the past like dick tracy, or adam from adam and the ants, the queen! the possibilities are endless, you could be marylin monroe! how sexy! if you want it to be 70's then put on the invites a few ideas for your guests, look up some 70's food and put that out for them, like fondue!, get lava lamps out swirly paterns to adorn the wall with! or how about flares and wedge shoes!

How far back are you planning on going - if you don't have a certain timescale in mind, the theme may get a bit lost!
