Dress The Part

The swanky fashion of the 1920s is one of the main signatures of this time period, so dressing up like gangsters and flappers is a given. While there are resources on the web for making your own costumes, if you aren't so skilled with a sewing machine then I recommend purchasing a costume. Online you can find a great selection of gangster costumes and vintage flapper dresses in all sizes and price ranges, not to mention tons of fun accessories like vintage cigarette holders and feather boas. Plus, gangster and flapper costumes are always a hit at Halloween, so you're sure to get your money's worth if you purchase one of these timeless costumes.

Set the Scene

When thinking about gangsters in the 1920s their infamous speakeasies come to mind. Dim the lights and have your guests enter through a back or side entrance. Require a code word to get in. (Print the code word on your invitations) For serving drinks, consider shopping at a second-hand store for some vintage, mismatched tea cups. Tea cups were sometimes used to serve drinks to hide the fact that people were drinking illegal liquor. You could download pictures of famous gangsters and movie stars of the time to hang in your speakeasy or, if you have time, shop for some art deco posters. Maybe find some red scare propaganda to scatter around. Have a bar area for snacks and drinks, then perhaps a game table for poker or even a classic board game, like Monopoly. Play some jazz.

What to Serve

Speakeasies were famous for serving bad liquor because that's all that was available. But you could splurge and serve some nice cocktails from that time period instead, like a Manhattan or a gin fizz. Some popular foods or foods that were invented at the time include; marshmallows, peanut butter cups, Caesar salads, pretzels, chiffon pie, pineapple upside down cake and club sandwiches. Sweets and sodas in general were popular because they provided an alternative indulgence for the booze deprive citizens of the time.

Anything Else?

For the perfect finishing touch, purchase an assortment of 1920s themed props, such as flapper beads, feather boas, sequined headbands, toy tommy guns and other items commonly found in the era. Allow guests to add the items to their costumes and you'll have lots of great photo opportunities. Consider having some friends arrive late dressed as police officers to make a bust! Other ideas include creating a murder mystery for guests to solve or teaching everyone to dance the Charleston.

Roaring twenties themed parties are tons of fun, they allow us to romanticize the past and escape our every day routine, even if only for an evening. Besides, when else do you have a valid excuse to wear a cool zoot suit or sequin and fringe flapper costume?
