Throwing a 1920s Theme Party: Decorations for an Unforgettable Night
Add Some Glamour with a Decadent Color Palette
The 1920s was an era of glamour and extravagance, and this should be reflected in your party decorations. Choose a color palette of black and gold and add a few pops of color. Rich hues of red, yellow, and blue are striking against the glamour of black and gold. For a more classic look, choose shades of grey and silver instead. You can find lots of 1920s themed decorations including streamers, balloons, and banners that feature the iconic color palette.
Invest in Some Art Deco-Inspired Pieces
The Art Deco movement was a huge influence on the design of the 1920s and a great way to add a touch of class to your party. Look for pieces that have a classic Art Deco shape, such as geometric patterns or angular designs. You can find pieces that are pre-made, or you can make your own using paper, fabric, and other materials. Hang them around the party space to create a unique atmosphere.
Create a Speakeasy-Style Bar
No 1920s party is complete without a bar! You can create a speakeasy-style bar by setting up a bar cart and stocking it with all of your favorite drinks. Add a few vintage-style glasses and you'll be all set. You can also add a few decorations like a feather boa or a few art deco-style pieces to make your bar look extra special.
Include Some Roaring Twenties Music
Music was a huge part of the 1920s, and it's a great way to set the tone for your party. Look for some classic jazz and blues songs to include in your playlist. If you have the budget, you can hire a live band to play some of the classic tunes. You can also find some vintage record players to play some of the old records from the era.
Add Some Fun and Games
No party would be complete without some fun and games. You can add a few vintage-style board games like Monopoly or Scrabble to your party. You can also break out a few card games like poker or bridge. For a more interactive experience, you can set up a dance floor and hire a few swing dance instructors to teach your guests a few moves. It's sure to be a night to remember!
