The Roaring 2020s: 6 Event Ideas for a New Decade
The 1920s were a time of great change and excitement, and the 2020s are shaping up to be no different. With a new decade comes new possibilities, and there are endless ways to celebrate the start of this exciting new era.
If you're planning a big event in 2020, here are six fabulous ideas to help you get the party started:
Forward-thinking fancy dress
The 1920s were known for their fashion, and there's no reason why the 2020s can't be the same. Invite your guests to put a modern spin on the classic 1920s fashions or use sci-fi references to create a truly futuristic party look. 2. Create your very own 2020 speakeasy
Speakeasies were all the rage in the 1920s, and they're still popular today. Bring the classic covert party up to date by putting your invites in code, putting a sketchy looking gatekeeper at the door, or hosting in a venue off the beaten track. Your revellers will love the experience just as much as the illicit cocktails and jazz band for hire. 3. Make a time capsule
Wondering what things will be like in another hundred years? Whatever kind of party you're planning, you could ask your guests to bring things to put in a time capsule to be opened in 2120. Current technology, a newspaper, letters, and even simple household stuff could be fascinating to someone living in the next 20s. 4. Revisit the last 100 years
Decades are always a fun party theme, and a brilliant excuse to put on a poodle skirt or OTT 1970s wig. If you're concerned some decades won't get much attention, you could give different guests different decades so the dance floor is a truly eclectic mix! The cocktails and canapés could be equally inspired. 5. Look to the big and small screens
Get your guests to break out their film and TV inspired costumes. F Scott Fitzgerald's Jay Gatsby isn't the only famous 1920s character from film and TV. The previous 20s was full of inspiration, from Peaky Blinders' Tommy Shelby to the lofty and mysterious Marchmains in Brideshead Revisited. 6. Jazz band for hire! Book timeless entertainment
Nothing beats live jazz. Whatever your setting – indoors, outdoors, daytime, nighttime, luxurious, rough and ready – live music will make sure the dancing and good times never end.
Silk Street Jazz is a jazz band for hire, playing classic dixieland jazz in a lineup of 2 to 7 experienced musicians. Their repertoire includes over 150 jazz classics from throughout the decades.
So there you have it, six fabulous event ideas for the roaring 2020s. Whether you're planning a small gathering or a large-scale party, these ideas are sure to get the party started.
