🥂 How to Throw the Ultimate Great Gatsby Party

Step back into the Roaring Twenties with a dazzling Great Gatsby party!


If you’re dreaming of champagne towers, jazz music, flapper dresses, and that unforgettable 1920s glamour, you’re in the right place.
Here’s how to plan the ultimate Gatsby-themed celebration — including the secret ingredient: authentic 1920s jazz performed live!

🎩 1. Dress the Part: Flappers, Fedoras, and Feathers
Encourage your guests to embrace the style of the era. Think:
Beaded flapper dresses and feathered headbands
Pinstripe suits and fedoras for the gents
Lots of pearls, fringe, gloves, and sequins
Consider setting up a vintage photo booth with props for extra fun!

🥂 2. Craft a 1920s-Inspired Menu
No Gatsby party is complete without:
Classic cocktails like Gin Rickeys, Sidecars, and Mint Juleps
Elegant canapés and finger foods
A stunning champagne tower as a show-stopping centerpiece
Pro Tip: Hire a bartender who can create vintage-style cocktails for an extra wow factor!

🎶 3. Set the Perfect Mood with Live 1920s Jazz
The right music transforms a good party into an unforgettable one.
For true Roaring Twenties magic, hire a live vintage jazz singer like Greg Poppleton, Australia’s leading 1930s jazz performer.
Greg’s authentic voice, period-perfect setlist, and lively band will have your guests swinging, Charleston-dancing, and soaking up the glamorous atmosphere.
From smooth crooning ballads to high-energy swing, nothing beats real live jazz for a Gatsby party!

Key decoration ideas:
Gold sequin tablecloths
Feather centerpieces
Art Deco backdrops
Vintage-style furniture or cocktail lounges
Low lighting and plenty of candles complete the scene!

🥳 5. Plan Fun 1920s Activities
Keep the party lively with:
A Charleston dance contest
A vintage costume contest
Silent movies playing in the background
Gambling tables with play-money poker or roulette
Offer little prizes for the best dancers or best-dressed guests!
