After all, the 1920s was one of the most iconic decades in history! Between secret speakeasies, flapper style, silent movies, and more, it\u2019s an era that\u2019s rife with inspiration for parties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unlike many generic party lists online, we\u2019ve made a point of curating ideas that are actually rooted in the vibrant culture of the 1920s.

Host a 1920s costume contest<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course, no Roaring 20s party would be complete without at least a bit of flapper style\u2014but why not take it to the next level with a full-blown costume contest? Invite your guests to channel their inner icons of the Jazz Age and compete for the title of \u201cBest Dressed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can even create different prize categories to keep things fun and inclusive. Some ideas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>\u201cMost Authentic\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBest Couple\/Group Coordination\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cBest DIY Look\u201d<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cMost Over-the-Top Glam\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>To elevate the experience even more, set up a miniature runway at your venue where guests can strut their stuff to vintage jazz (more on our playlist recommendations later in this article!). You might want to enlist some guests to serve as judges, or even let the entire party vote to keep things especially engaging and interactive.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Provide a 1920s style guide for guests<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Especially if you ask guests to arrive dressed in era-appropriate costumes, create a 1920s costume guide that goes beyond the usual clich\u00e9s of flappers and gangsters. Offer outfit inspiration for a variety of personas from the era, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Jazz musicians<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bootleggers<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Art Deco socialites<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Silent film stars<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Speakeasy bartenders<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Newsboys<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prohibition agents<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Try to make the guide as inclusive as possible by offering advice on feminine, masculine, and gender-neutral options as well as DIY tips and guidance on where to shop or rent for costume pieces. Make all your guests feel welcome to show up in their best rendition of 1920s style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"decor\"><strong>1920s decor to set the scene<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-1024x683.avif 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-300x200.avif 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-768x512.avif 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-750x500.avif 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch.avif 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-1024x683.jpeg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-1024x683.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-300x200.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-768x512.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch-750x500.jpeg 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/woman-cameras-velvet-couch.jpeg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-114749 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"A woman sits on a dark blue velvet couch surrounded by 20s-era cameras\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Made in Peerspace<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Perfect your party\u2019s immersive Roaring 20s atmosphere with these thoughtful decor ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Set up a 1920s photo booth<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When you and your guests are all decked out in your best retro apparel, you\u2019ll definitely want to immortalize the moment. So why not set up a photo booth where you can all snap pictures?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Create a glamorous backdrop with <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.artsper.com\/en\/a-closer-look\/art-movements-en\/the-most-beautiful-examples-of-art-deco-patterns\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Art Deco patterns<\/a>, shimmering gold fringe curtains, and a classic paper moon decoration (this was a beloved 1920s photo motif). Provide guests with an assortment of era-appropriate props, like feather boas, strands of faux pearls, top hats, and long cigarette holders\u2014these will help complete the look.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You could even include a custom sign with your party\u2019s name and\/or year to make each snapshot feel like a keepsake from another era.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Avoid clich\u00e9 gold and black for your color scheme<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Black and gold have often been the go-to colors for Roaring 20s parties, but they\u2019ve become a bit overdone and can make your celebration feel more cookie-cutter than an immersive trip back in time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Instead, take inspiration from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sherwin-williams.com\/homeowners\/color\/color-through-the-decades\/1920s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">real 1920s color palettes<\/a>. Consider absinthe green for a nod to speakeasy culture, mustard or marigold for vintage warmth, and deep teal, rose, or dusty lavender for a touch of elegance. Pairing these with textures like velvet, beaded fringe, and polished wood will help bring depth to your interpretation of the era\u2019s glamor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Draw on the visual language of the era<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a Roaring 20s party, you\u2019re probably already aware of the bold and distinctive aesthetic of the 1920s. Tap into that visual language to bring your party to life. Start with typography, opting for classic 20s fonts with sharp angles and Art Deco flair for signage, menus, and invitations. (You might even draw inspiration from <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/10625749107775035\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these old club membership cards<\/a>, for example!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For tableware, scout thrift stores and antique shops to find Deco-style glassware like champagne coupes. Elevate your tablescapes using tall taper candles in metallic holders and with floral arrangements featuring white lilies or calla lilies, Art Deco favorites. If you\u2019re on a budget, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/twopurplecouches.com\/roaring-twenties-party-decor\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">these DIY Roaring 1920s decor ideas<\/a>, which include tissue paper pom-poms, gold foil garlands, and wine bottle table centerpieces.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t be afraid to venture out of the realm of pure authenticity. For instance, creating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/10625749107791725\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">this bubble balloon walkway<\/a> would not have been possible in the 20s, but it still adds to the overall ambiance and pairs beautifully with the more era-authentic decor ideas we\u2019ve suggested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:40px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"food-and-drink\"><strong>Jazz Age food and drinks to keep you dancing<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><picture><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-1024x683.avif 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-300x200.avif 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-768x512.avif 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-750x500.avif 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink.avif 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/avif\"><source srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-1024x683.webp 1024w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-300x200.webp 300w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-768x512.webp 768w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-750x500.webp 750w,https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink.webp 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" type=\"image\/webp\"><img src=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-1024x683.jpg\" height=\"683\" width=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink-750x500.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.peerspace.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/bartender-mixing-drink.jpg 1500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" class=\"wp-image-114743 sp-no-webp\" alt=\"A bartender in a vest and tie stirs a Manhattan cocktail\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\"  > <\/picture><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Source: Pexels\/Antoni Shkraba Studio&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:9px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Delight your guests with authentic 1920s dishes and classic Prohibition-era cocktails that keep the Jazz Age spirit alive throughout the night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6.

Make Prohibition-era cocktails<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>During Prohibition (1920 to 1933), secret, illegal drinking establishments known as \u201cspeakeasies\u201d surged in popularity. According to historian Gustavo V\u00e1zquez Lozano, \u201cFive years into Prohibition, there were between 30,000 and 100,000 speakeasy clubs in operation in New York City alone, and it was already evident that the dream of a dry America had crumbled. Put simply, the population\u2019s demand for alcohol had superseded the need for sobriety.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With Prohibition came a host of creative cocktails designed to mask the taste of poorly made liquor with ingredients like flavors like citrus, honey, and herbs.

Watch silent movie classics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Silent films dominated the 1920s, so why not enjoy some of the classics at a watch party? Gather your friends together and host a private film festival of silent movie classics, from classic comedies featuring Buster Keaton and Charlie Chaplin to early horror masterpieces like <em>Nosferatu<\/em> and <em>The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari<\/em>.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This is an awesome Roaring 20s party idea for movie buffs!

Play authentic jazz from the era<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Queue up a real 1920s jazz playlist to make the atmosphere complete. Nothing embodies the energy of the Roaring 20s better than the sounds of early jazz and swing. Playing artists like Tiny Parham, Red Nichols, Cliff Edwards, Sophie Tucker, Fats Waller, and Louis Armstrong\u2019s Hot Fives will bring the sound of the era to your party.
