Take your event back in time.
Decor is always important when planning an event. It can make or break the mood of your entire event from the second your attendees walk in. When guests walk in and see crystal chandeliers and elegant white flower arrangements, they know they’re in for a night of elegance and tactful conversations. When they walk in and see an explosion of colors and a DJ booth, they know they can expect a night of energy and fun. But when they walk in and find a projector screen and rows of folding chairs, that’s when they know they’re at just another meeting that only caffeine will get them through. Even if all you have planned for the night are the typical presentations and speakers, a little decoration will go a long way when it comes to your attendees’ moods.
But if you’re having trouble choosing a theme this year, we’ve got you covered. It was a huge hit for almost every New Year’s party and will continue on through the rest of 2020.

But if you don’t know where to start, we’re here to help with a few tips on what to visualize and how to throw the best ‘20s themed event.

- Black, White, and Gold: The classic ‘20s themed party consists of a black, white, and gold color theme. It’s so classy and simple. Black tablecloths with gold vases holding white calla lilies will never go out of style!
- Feather Boas and Pearls: These pieces can make for a super fun centerpiece. Or hang them around the venue for your attendees to wear throughout the night!
- Low Lighting: Leave the fluorescents for operating rooms and headlights. Having a darker vibe will give your event that perfect speakeasy feel.
- Bar: Whether or not alcohol is appropriate at the event, it’s still fun to have a bar for the guests to get refreshments. Having the bartender dress up in suspenders and a bow tie serving cocktails or mocktails will really take your event back in time.
- Doorman: If you want your event to feel speakeasy authentic, put someone at the door who demands a password before guests can enter. Pro tip: be sure you remember to include the password on the invite! Otherwise things can get awkward.
- Jazz: Having popular 1920’s jazz music playing in the background is sure to tie the whole event together. Play some of the populars, such as Duke Ellington, Louis Armstrong, or Jelly Roll Morton.
