'20s Party Theme
The Roaring '20s was an exciting time in U.S. history. Relive the era with a Roaring 20s party!
Flashy costumes set the tone for the party. Men should wear three-piece tuxes, while women can wear a flapper costume. Add sassy clothing accessory like sequin headbands, gangster hats, Blues Brothers glasses, boas, and pearls.
The theme for decorations should be '20s elegance. Use cream and golden tones for balloons, streamers, and lights. Art Deco also marked the era. Hang Art Deco pieces throughout the room for an authentic '20s atmosphere.
Dress the tables in cream table linens with silver candlesticks and rose centerpieces. Set up a bar area, and serve Champagne, wine, and cocktails.
Jazz music’s popularity soared during the '20s. Hire a six-piece band to get the crowd moving. Show off your swing moves!
Silent movies were popular during the '20s. Screen a classic film, such as “The Jazz Singer,” which was actually part talkie. Charlie Chaplin was a famous '20s icon who appeared in many movies. Pay tribute by showing of one his movies. Then celebrate the silent movie by playing charades.
Hire a photographer for the party and give black-and-white photos as party favors. Give a copy of a '20s novel, such as the American classic, The Great Gatsby.
