Gatsby themed party scenario
A Gatsby-style party should take you back in time, capture your entire being and swirl you in a whirlwind of unbridled, wild, unbridled fun.
Organizing such an event is quite a troublesome task, but there is nothing that cannot be overcome, and besides, this event will remain in the heart of every invitee for a long time.
First you need to make a party plan: 1. Room and decorations; 2. Invitations; 3. Costumes; 4. Menu; 5. Music and entertainment.
It is clear that the event is large-scale and truly grandiose. In those days, people spent their entire fortune on such parties; it was an excess of luxury and aristocracy.
Nowadays, not everyone can afford such fun, but even such an event has its secrets, you just need to turn on your imagination and your imagination will tell you how and what to do.
ENTERTAINMENT
| Game 1. “Speed matters” | Fun and games for this enchanting musical, truly French evening should be selected depending on the age, composition and “degree of debauchery” of your guests. If you are organizing a holiday for people without complexes and prejudices, and moreover, of the same age, social status and range of interests, entertainment of this type is suitable: Details: 2 corsets with lacing, antique type, timer. Number of participants: at least two couples (2 girls + 2 guys). The essence of the game: Temporarily unlace the corset the girl is wearing. What won't a real man do in a fit of passion? Even a corset is not an obstacle to the desired fruit! However, if among you there are really a lot of “craftsmen”, for whom even an ancient corset, tightened with whalebone up to the shoulder, can complicate the task a little. For example, you can ask the participants in the game to unlace the corset while blindfolded or simply by kissing the girl who is wearing it. |
| Game 2. “Men’s cancan” | The ancient French dance, even in our jaded age of dominant and overt sexuality, still excites the hearts of many men! An elegant leg, a miniature garter, a radiant smile makes the blood run faster through the veins! But what if the leg is far from miniature and graceful? Even more than that, rough and with increased vegetation? Will it have the same effect? Certainly! True, if there are people willing to take part in the next fun! Props: plus size cabaret dancers' skirts and hats, cancan music. Number of participants: all interested males. Essence: Women are members of the jury. Men dance the cancan. The most “French dancer” who will cause a storm of emotions and applause is awarded with kisses from all members of the jury and a medal (can be paper) for the winner. |
| Game 3. “2 minutes of temptations” | Props: large boxes (or wardrobes you have around the house). Number of participants: minimum 6 people (3 guys + 3 girls). Rules: Guys hide in closets, or in large boxes of household appliances. Girls, on the other hand, choose the closet that they like best, without knowing who is hiding behind the door. At the command of the presenter: “Timer!”, the girls must enter the closet (or climb into the box) and kiss the guy who hid there. On the command: “Time is up!”, the couples come out of their hiding places. The realization of someone with whom you have just shared a narrow space and a kiss can cause a storm of emotions both among the participants in the game and hooting from the audience in the hall (and this is very useful at a Moulin Rouge-style party). |
| Game 4. “In the Dark” | Another game that goes off with a bang! in the atmosphere of permissiveness of the Moulin Rouge, among guests warmed by absinthe. Props: eye patches. Number of participants: everyone is interested. Rules: All participants (both boys and girls) wear blindfolds. And the lighting in the room is also dimmed. At the command “start”, the participants begin to walk around the room. The essence of the game is that, without seeing and bumping into each other, boys and girls must kiss. However, in the terms of the competition there is a clause: before kissing the “obstacle” on the route, you can touch the hair (to make sure that in front of you is a representative of the opposite sex). |
| Game 5. “Card Kiss” | Props: playing card (ace of hearts). Number of participants: equal number of men and women. Rules: All men and women stand in a circle. Their job is to pass the playing card around by word of mouth. But! The card should not be held with your teeth, but held by sucking in air. That is, the first participant inhales - holds the card, the second - takes the card, also drawing in air, and passes it to the next person. The one who could not hold the card with the power of breathing kisses the next one in the circle and is eliminated from the game. |
| Game 6. “The Cunning of the Courtesan” | Props: Number of participants: at least two couples (boy + girl). Rules: Girls with garters on their legs sit on chairs. The guys kneel in front of them. At the presenter’s command “Start!”, the guys begin to remove the garters from the girls’ legs with their teeth (without using their hands). Girls, in turn, do not have the right to help. The winner is the one who first copes with such a difficult task. If advanced age, increased shyness or insufficiently close company forces you to hold a party at the Moulin Rouge with more restraint, you can offer guests more “intelligent” entertainment. |
| Have you noticed that an integral part of a cabaret dancer’s outfit is a miniature top hat? Invite your guests to quickly decorate such a hat according to their taste and discretion. Props: paper blank - black cylinder, flowers, rhinestones, glue, colored paper, scissors, ribbons, buttons. Essence: All participants are divided into two teams. Each team has the same set of available tools. The task is to quickly assemble an elegant hat in the style of the Moulin Rouge. The winner is determined by voting by the audience (those guests who did not want to participate in the competition). | |
| Props: screen, bright lamp, hat, sheets with tasks. Rules: Participants take a piece of paper with a task from the hat and go behind the screen. Their task is to show what is written, using only their body, hands, and ingenuity. You can show excerpts on a love theme, you can act out your favorite children's fairy tale, you can show animals and birds. Spectators in the hall see only shadows and reflections. The team of participants whose actions allow the audience to quickly determine what is being said wins. This game has several variations, each of which is interesting in its own way. Variation 1. All the girls go behind the screen, but the guys remain in the hall. The guys' task is to find out from the shadow which of the girls is dancing behind the screen. Variation 2. Prepare music and narration for each plot indicated on the leaves in the hat. Let the team of participants show what the narrator will talk about, and let their actions be accompanied by light, recognizable, characteristic music. |
| In the midst of various romantic games, we forgot that the popularity of the French cabaret was, after all, brought by the famous musical. Therefore, be sure to organize at least one music competition. You can, for example, play “guess the melody” from the film, or you can hold a casting for the best performer of the role of Celine and her songs. Number of participants: everyone (girls). |
| This competition, in principle, echoes the previous one. It differs only in the wider range of participants involved. The point: take a song from a film, and come up with a story for it, play out its plot, show emotions, passion, feelings! |
| When a man kisses a lady’s hand, she is thrilled with delight, and everyone around them sighs: “Oh, what a gallant gentleman!” Therefore, the game, according to the rules of which you need to kiss ladies’ hands, is very intelligent. Rules: Participants (man and woman) stand opposite each other. The man’s task is to kiss the lady’s each finger differently. A woman’s task is to respond to every kiss with a passionate, loving monologue. |
If you don't like typical modern celebrations and want something truly sophisticated and unusual, you will surely love a stylish and elegant Gatsby themed party.
The style of the twenties is generally recognized as a model of elegance and relaxed luxury. It has always been relevant. But with the release of the cult film “The Great Gatsby” in 2013, directed by Baz Luhrmann based on Fitzgerald’s work of the same name, the whole world was literally swept by a wave of interest in that wonderful era.
Today, themed parties are very popular, recreating the mood of this classic novel, which was successfully brought to life on screen. Such a holiday will be a great way to celebrate a birthday, New Year, March 8, a wedding or any other special event.
How to decorate a room?
It's no secret that choosing a venue is very important for a theme party. The Great Gatsby is proof of this. In the film, these magnificent shows take place in a huge mansion, with a fountain, a swimming pool and an amazingly beautiful staircase.
Nowadays, few people have such property, so the ideal choice for such a party is either a classic-style restaurant or a loft-style room with a large area.
The classic restaurant is very restrained and solemn. For such an event this is what you need. Doormen help guests get out of their cars, open the doors for them, and there they are greeted by a champagne slide, retro music, magicians, jugglers, acrobats, ice sculptures and a fountain.
Guests enter the hall and see vintage furniture, chic white tablecloths, and on them there are porcelain dishes, silver cutlery and candlesticks, vases with pearls, and around the perimeter there are fresh flowers: roses, hydrangeas, orchids, carnations and chrysanthemums.
It’s all crowned with a delightful chandelier, the movie “The Great Gatsby” is playing on plasma panels, everything shines, glitters, garlands, golden streamers, tinsel, confetti, sparklers are lit, waiters in luxurious attire are handing out strong drinks and snacks, and the dance floor is shining with all the colors of the rainbow .
And in the tea room there is a unique place for photography: a large stand with full-length photographs of the characters from the film. Or you can rent a vintage car and park it at the entrance to the restaurant so that everyone can take pictures there.

Progress of the event
Dear friends, I welcome you today to our small celebration dedicated to the end of school. All of you are in one way or another connected with the main guests at this holiday - graduates. Please love and respect!
Graduates take the stage to the sounds of jazz music. The presenter calls everyone by name, adding some description. For example, “bright head”, “charming”, “wonderful conversationalist”, “proud”. Graduates go to their designated places.
The long-awaited moment has come - the time has come for you to leave school. And in this very much desired moment, you will say goodbye to a cheerful life.
A daring bell will ring after you, it will guide you into adulthood. The tired teacher will shout after him: “Just don’t fall! Hold on tight!”

But let's not be sad! Let's laugh and dance! And also remember your school life. Do you know what Russian roulette is? Let's play this game! But not the usual one, but the nominal one. On each cell, instead of numbers, there are the names of graduates. Whose name the arrow points to answers my question.
The game “Name Roulette” is played. The presenter can ask questions:
- First teacher.
- First school love.
- How much time did you usually spend at the board?
- When did you receive your first “2”?
- Most favorite subject.
- When was the first time you ran away from class?

Listens to the graduates' answers.
Your first teachers could not stay away. Having received the invitation, they rushed immediately to the holiday to congratulate you.
Speech by the first teachers. A response from graduates.
Graduates:
This is us - do you recognize us? They looked like adults. But at heart they remained children: And no one will object!
We carried backpacks, books, and a pencil case with notebooks! All the girls and boys were first-graders!
Having met at the school threshold, you and I went to first grade. Even though the educational road was hard, But you led us very wisely and decisively.
And now, our beloved, dear, And our very first teacher, From us, a low bow to the ground, And you will also accept gratitude!
They present flowers to teachers and go to their seats.
Our game continues! But now let's play seriously. Each of you has a certain amount of money. Your task is to increase your capital by making several profitable bets and answering questions correctly.
The game "School Roulette" is played. Participants are given the same amount of money (pre-printed on paper and cut out). The roulette wheel contains numbers indicating the bet amount. The arrow starts, which at the moment it stops indicates how much you need to bet. Those interested place bets. After this, the presenter asks a question, which is answered by everyone who placed a bet. The winnings are divided equally among everyone who gave the correct answer.
The graduate who “earned” the most money is declared the winner.
Examples of questions:
- How many windows are there on the school building?
- How tall is the school building in meters?
- How many classrooms are there in total at the school?
- How many coat hooks are there on hangers in the wardrobe?
- How many chairs are there in the school canteen?
- How many sinks are there in the entire school building?
- How many people, including graduates and presenters, are in the room?
The winner is awarded a memorable gift.
You know a lot about school. This is not surprising - you spent 11 years here. It turns out that you are very attentive. I think that you were attentive not only to the objects around you, but also to those who led you along the road of Knowledge. Why do I think this? Yes, because they can’t wait to congratulate you. Look - they are already waving their hands so that they are not forgotten! Meet us!
The presenter names all teachers, including class teachers. They go up on stage and give parting words.
Leave a piece of your soul for your teachers as a souvenir. They will be very pleased, but you still have nowhere to rush!
Smile at them now, And give them this dance - the waltz!
To the sounds of a waltz in the jazz style (for example, D. D. Shostakovich “Russian Waltz”), students dance with teachers. Then they are escorted to their places.
Well, now we give the floor to the manager of our holiday - the school director.
Presentation of certificates, congratulations from the school administration.
Dear, homely, in a word, parents, would you like to congratulate your children on their holiday today?
After all, the day of farewell to school happens only once in a lifetime! And let this day be sad and cheerful, because everyone will miss school!
Parents giving a parting speech. Presentation of letters of thanks to parents.
Graduates:
Graduation is finally here! You have been waiting for this for so long, Even though today my certificate is not gold, And I have not received a single medal,
But for the care, support, warmth, I thank you, my parents. Today, I know that it’s hard for you to let us go from the school monastery.
Today you say: Oh! and Ah! Seeing off children into adulthood. Don't be afraid, our heads are on our shoulders, Let's now gnaw on the granite of Science at the institute!
Yes, gnaw so hard that there won’t be a piece left of it! After all, our future work depends on it. We will not get involved in loans and installments, so as not to add unnecessary worries and troubles to you.
Thank you very much for being patient, for not getting enough sleep at night, for the fact that they wanted to do a lot with us, but were able to restrain themselves in time!
We wish you to see only the good in everything, be sad less often, and even then over trifles, and don’t forget that your children are already grown up, so trust us - already graduates!
They hand parents flowers and escort them to their seats.
In a moment, the solemn part of our holiday will end. I see that our graduates have very happy faces. I think they are ready to dance!
Dance number from graduates (jazz melody). Farewell song.
In modern society, it has become popular to organize themed weddings. And bride price, toastmaster and Soviet competitions are gradually fading into oblivion. Modern young couples who want to seal their relationship with marriage prefer costume parties instead of traditional celebrations. Parties in the style of the 70s, 80s, and 20s of the last century are especially popular. Using the style of the 20s, you can arrange an unforgettable celebration and convey all the beauty of the past to your loved ones. For example, a Gatsby-style wedding is one of the most successful options for holding a celebration at the beginning of the last century. This style combines sophistication, sophistication, grandeur, romance, glamor, carelessness and unbridled fun - all this was typical of the 20s of the last century. Therefore, if you want a chic and pompous wedding and buffet, then a Gatsby-themed party is just for you.
In this article you will learn everything about a Gatsby-style wedding:
- decoration of the hall;
- decor;
- a wedding cake;
- clothes for newlyweds and guests;
- photo;
- Original gifts;
- ideas for the script;
- thematic competitions.
The most important thing in a Gatsby wedding is the choice of venue. The most successful option is a luxurious mansion or a spacious banquet hall. When choosing a restaurant, you should consider such points as the presence of a wide ornate staircase, large columns and a light marble floor. It will look great if for such a wedding you rent a villa with access to a park or lawn or lake. An unusual solution would be to celebrate a wedding on a luxurious white liner, but to hold a ceremony in such a place, it is worth asking the guests in advance whether anyone suffers from seasickness. Once you have decided on the venue for your Gatsby-themed wedding, it’s time to start decorating it.

A wedding in the style of the Great Gatsby is, first of all, a chic, luxurious party. Organizing such a holiday will require a considerable amount of finance. The basis of Gatsby's style is luxury and pomp. To decorate the room you will need:
- pearl;
- feathers;
- natural fabrics (linen, silk, chiffon, lace, satin, flannel, Indian cotton);
- fringe;
- crystals;
- beads;
- lace;
- gold;
- photo frames;
- vintage candlesticks, chandeliers, garlands;
- serpentine;
- air balloons;
- lots of sequins and sparkles;
- confetti.
When decorating a hall for a wedding party with all these elements, do not be afraid to overdo it, because Gatsby’s style is pathos, luxury, aristocracy, pomp and a sense of careless squandering.
The main color of Gatsby's style is gold. It can be combined with black, white, ivory or, for example, beige, green or soft peach. If you want to create an extravagant style, then combining gold with black is more suitable for you, and if you want a lighter and airier party, then give preference to combining gold with light shades. But the most important thing to remember is that the basis of the color palette for Gatsby's wedding is always gold.
If you rent a restaurant for a Gatsby-style wedding, then the interior of the establishment must be classic or Art Deco. In order to fully immerse yourself in the atmosphere of the 20s of America, a banquet hall for a wedding should be equipped with massive vintage furniture, chairs upholstered in velvet, tables covered with thick tablecloths to the floor, decorated with voluminous crystal chandeliers, tables with porcelain sets, gilded cutlery and crystal glasses. The fireplace and hunting stuffed animals will look enchanting.
When decorating Gatsby's wedding, you can't do without chic floral arrangements. The following flowers are suitable for their creation:
- snow-white callas;
- lilies;
- orchids;
- tulips.
- for recreation and entertainment;
- dance;
- photo corner;
- banquet room with whiskey bar.
In addition, you can install a table for playing cards and thereby create a smoking area and a cigar bar. Unusual, but at the same time in the style of the Great Gatsby, this will be placing a slide of crystal glasses or a collection of elite alcohol. When organizing Gatsby's wedding, you should not forget about sparklers, fireworks and, of course, jazz music.
To hold such a themed celebration, it is better to invite an experienced presenter, since professionals still have more experience in holding such events, they will take into account all the nuances. Gatsby's wedding, like any other, begins with the registration of marriage. The wedding ceremony can be held traditionally in the registry office or ordered outside, which is a more suitable option for the style of this theme. After the official part, when the newlyweds seal their relationship with sacred bonds, they, together with their guests, go to their first family photo session.
Photographing a wedding in the Gatsby style also requires appropriate design. To create a stylistically correct place for photography, watch the movie “The Great Gatsby” and get inspired by it. Select your favorite frames from the cinematic creation and bring them to life, create a jazz mood and interior of those times. You can take, for example, the moment when Jay and Daisy meet, when they are surrounded by gorgeous flower arrangements and capture a few frames against the backdrop of all this beauty.
And for a group photo, an imitation of a Gatsby-themed party is perfect. An excellent background for a Gatsby-style photo would be a casino, hotel room or restaurant with a suitable interior. At the end of the wedding photography, the entire wedding procession goes to the banquet, where they have fun, dance and plunge into the style of the Great Gatsby. The celebration can be completed with a gorgeous fireworks display and an incredible champagne fountain.
A Gatsby-style wedding cake simply must fully correspond to the chosen theme of the celebration. It is recommended to choose a light, tasty and huge dessert in several tiers. You can decorate the delicacy with a large number of decorative elements. For decoration, geometric shapes, sweet pearls or rhinestones, gold flowers, bows and other voluminous edible decorations are used. The taste of the confectionery creation corresponds to its appearance: sweet, melting in the mouth - no nuts or crunches that will take a long time to chew.
A Gatsby style wedding dress should be simple, but at the same time elegant and look expensive. The style of the wedding does not allow the bride to wear a petticoat, corset and a lush veil. In the 20s, low-waisted silhouette dresses were in fashion. The length of the dress can vary from the knees to the floor, since the mini era had not yet arrived in those days. It is not recommended to choose a white Gatsby-style wedding dress; an outfit in light, warm and delicate shades will look more advantageous. For example, ivory, champagne, silver, gold or pearl. For a wedding dress, choose light, airy and expensive fabrics such as silk, satin, chiffon, satin. Textiles can be either glossy or matte.
A bride who decides to organize her celebration in the style of the Great Gatsby can safely choose an outfit with an open back and arms, but without vulgar cutouts and slits. At the beginning of the 20th century, evening dresses with a silhouette shape and an asymmetrical hem were in fashion. You can also easily use flounces and fringes.
The dress can be decorated with pearls, bugles, beads, sparkles and rhinestones. If you show your imagination and play with colors, you will get an unusual and original look, and jewelry that differs in color from the dress will create the necessary contrast. You can complement the newlywed's look with gloves, a fur cape, long pearl beads, and vintage brooches. Particular attention should be paid to shoes. It is advisable to choose shoes with a small stable heel with a rounded toe and a strap that will secure the ankle. These shoes will allow you to dance the night away, just like Gatsby-themed parties are meant to be.
During the era of the Great Gatsby, short hair a la Garson was in fashion. If the bride has long hair, then she should decide on the choice of hairstyle: either large curls or a bun carefully arranged in a net. Regardless of the Gatsby style hairstyle you choose, your hair should look great and styled conservatively. No fluffy curls, whirlwinds or carelessness on the head - everything is carefully combed, smoothed and with a glossy shine. Therefore, the bride just needs to twist the strands, slick them, creating a glossy shine and tie a wide, lace ribbon with a feather, or put a hat with a veil on her hair.
But the groom won’t have any trouble with his outfit, since fashion for men during the times of the Great Gatsby meant classic three-piece suits. The newlywed must wear a snow-white shirt with a bow tie and a suit with a vest. If the wedding takes place in the summer, then it is better for the groom to choose a suit in light shades, and in winter, on the contrary, dark ones. You can complete the look with patent leather shoes, vintage cufflinks, a hat, a cane and a pocket watch. It is also worth considering that during the time of the great Gatsby, men walked around with heavily varnished hair and impeccably styled. Therefore, the groom should also get his hair done in the Gatsby style, perhaps even growing his hair out specially for a beautiful haircut.
If you want to convey the atmosphere of the style of the 20s, then the decor of the room will not be enough for this; you need the guests of your celebration to correspond to the chosen theme. The female half of invited relatives can dress in dresses that were popular at that time in America. Basically, these are knee-length outfits with a low waist and silhouette cut. An outfit with a lace back or completely bare shoulder blades will look elegant. At that time, it was popular to expose the back and arms. Women can decorate their look with feathers, long beads, small handbags, lace or embroidered ribbons, antique jewelry, fur capes, and hats. The most important thing is to create a feeling of luxury, elegance and charm.
Men have a much easier time in this matter. Their choice is limited only to the classic three-piece suit, shirt and bow tie. The strong half of humanity can complement their image with a cane, hat, pocket watch, suspenders, antique cufflinks and rings. A checkered suit and a snow-white shirt with a dark bow tie will look very elegant, but at the same time stylish. And the look will be completed with well-polished shoes and very varnished hair.
But in order for your guests to be able to prepare for your event on time, and, most importantly, well enough, and to comply with the rules of the dress code, you will need to warn about its existence in advance. This can be done using invitation cards. It is recommended to choose a wedding invitation in the Gatsby style in a simple style and with a minimum amount of decorations. To design a wedding invitation, you can use gold embossing, monograms and embroidery. It is recommended to write the text of the Gatsby-style invitation in strict fonts. More information about designing invitations in the Gatsby style can be read in a separate article.
Party Invitations
In The Great Gatsby, guests did not need a special invitation to take part in this enchanting show. Graceful and sparkling, they came themselves and had fun all night long.
But it’s not the 20s, and it’s unlikely that the party host will want to see complete strangers. Stylized invitations will help avoid this.
Ideally, they should be made on antique paper, with geometric elements, vintage paintings and be sure to include Gatsby logos. Suitable colors include white, gold, brown and beige.
Invitations can be wrapped in a distressed paper envelope and decorated with faux pearls. This will add a certain charm and gloss and, having received such a notification, those invited will enthusiastically accept this idea.
Invitation envelopes can also include photographs of stills from the film. Let them depict the main characters in their stunning outfits and then, without a doubt, the guests will try to dress to match them. Or, at the end of the invitation, write down a mandatory dress code so that party participants do not spoil it by arriving in ordinary clothes.
New Year's Eve for The Great Gatsby. Version 2021
Yes, it was a time of chic and brilliance! High-society society, yes, a new high-society society, began to dictate its terms, and those who until recently considered sequins to be something inappropriate were forced to admit: there will be sequins! And not only in the cabaret, but also at receptions.
In the winter of 2021, this trend became iconic. However, who am I kidding? This season, almost all catchy and bright, sparkling decor is in trend. What to do if clothes are the most affordable entertainment. Despite the fact that there is practically no chance of wearing endless outfits! Many will even have to celebrate the New Year at home, shining there.
An interesting bonus for those who choose sequins for a home party: wool won’t stick to them, and spilling on your dress won’t ruin it.

Suits
Brilliant ladies and aristocratic gentlemen. How not to make a mistake in choosing your image and look like characters straight out of a movie?
A dress from that era will help create a sophisticated feminine look. Below or above the knee, a floor-length dress with a low waist, a deep neckline on the chest or a cutout on the back, with fringe, sparkles, sequins, silver or gold threads. Anything: shiny, flashy, but at the same time rich and luxurious, elegant and charming. It is worth taking a closer look at the fabric of the dress. Chiffon, silk, panvelvet and lace are perfect.
Accessories for such an outfit should be appropriate. Brooches, artificial or natural pearls that go below the neckline, earrings, bracelets, rings, long gloves, small handbags decorated with rhinestones and sparkles, medium-heeled shoes with a rounded toe. And on the shoulders is a boa, a transparent scarf or a fur boa.
Complete the look with rich makeup: emphasized eyebrows, rounded eyelashes, dark shadows and bright lips. Hairstyle also plays an important role.
In those days, bobs and flowing waves were fashionable, but with long hair you can come up with hairstyles that suit this look: put it in a ponytail or make a bun. The hairstyle can be decorated with a ribbon, a thin scarf, a veil, a hat, a headband with feathers and beads, or a large sparkling hairpin. It won't be that difficult to create a male Gatsby image. He is simple, strict and rich. Smoothed hair, black three-piece suit, starched white shirt, vest, bow tie and two-tone shoes polished to a shine. You can experiment with the color of the suit: blue, gray, beige, brown, white, checkered, striped or plain.
Accessories include a hat, a cane, a watch, a cigar, a rose pinned to the lapel and a scarf peeking out of the jacket pocket.
You can organize a military-themed party.
Choice of outfits
Such a themed celebration requires a special approach to the choice of costumes. The era of the twenties is a time of elegance and bohemian style. You should prepare very carefully if you are planning a Gatsby themed party. What to wear for this holiday? Here are some tips for choosing an outfit:
Men at such a party should be dressed in luxurious classic tuxedos. Pay attention to the details - expensive shoes, a satin black bow tie, a sleek hairstyle - all this will add Hollywood chic to your look.
For ladies at such parties, cocktail dresses in the spirit of the twenties, with a low waist, are required. It’s good if they are richly embroidered with beads, beads, sequins and bugles. A Charleston-style dress decorated with fringe would look ideal.
When creating an image, women should be especially responsible when choosing accessories. Inappropriate shoes or hairstyle can spoil the impression of even the most luxurious dress. You can decorate an outfit for such a party with long pearl and glass beads, worn in several rows. Style your hair in smooth, flowing waves and tie them into a low bun. If you have a short bob haircut, it will also fit perfectly into the Gatsby style. At the same time, you can afford any bold hair accessories - small elegant hats with feathers, satin ribbons and headbands actively decorated with rhinestones - all these details with a fairly large percentage of shine were very popular in the twenties. A small handbag on a chain (it can be embroidered with beads, rhinestones, fringe), long satin gloves and elegant golden heeled sandals will help complete the look.
This dress code will allow you to mentally travel back to the era of the beginning of the last century and create a truly impressive atmosphere at your party. Before the holiday, you can rewatch Baz Luhrmann's acclaimed film to get inspired to choose the right outfit.
The whole world has gone crazy and you along with it?
