My brother-in-law served 2 tours in Iraq, and believe me, the soldiers desperately need some Christmas cheer. It’s very hard for them this time of year. They miss their families at home, the festivities, and the home cooked Christmas dinner. Just sending them a little something, reminds our soldiers that they are in our thoughts, and that we are praying for the next year’s Christmas to be spent at home.

Roaring 20s Theme Weddings

Roaring 20s Theme Weddings

The 1920’s was a time of celebration. It was an era about Jazz, dancing, fine clothing, and entertaining. A Roaring 20’s theme can add fun and uniqueness to any wedding, and will definitely make it memorable. Here are a few ideas for a 20’s themed wedding.

Start by transforming your wedding party into a dark jazzy nightclub and hire a Jazz band. Have guests dress as their favorite silent movie stars or misicians, such as Bonnie & Clyde, Don Juan, Al Capone, Mae West, Rudolph Valentino, Bugsy Malone, Duke Ellington, or Clara Bow, just to name a few.

The brides apparel should be elegant. Knee length, dropped waist, chiffon and/or silk dresses, long beaded necklaces, and red lipstick. Cloches were popular, bands of silk flowers worn low on the head, and Juliet style caps. Fragrant orchids and lilies were a favorite. The bridesmaids could wear flapper dresses with feathers and fringe, seamed stockings, and cross-strap Mary Jane shoes. Although the style was risque for the time, it was also very glamorous.

Men were extremely stylish in tuxedos, spats, and top hats. Zoot suits with bold wide ties, polished wingtip shoes, and slicked back hair. Fedoras and pin striped suits. Men in the 20’s were rough, sleek, and romantic.

The meal should be All-Amercian with rich roasted meats, potatoes, and decadent desserts. Ice down huge metal troffs with “hooch”, “moonshine”, and “gin”. Have each table assigned to a 20’s theme or event such as the “Jazz” table, “Prohibition” table, “Gangster” table, “Charleston” table, “Ragtime” table, or the “Shimmy” table. Decorate with empty champagne bottles, large feathers and beads.

Hold a best dance or best costume contest. Create a casino corner for Poker, Black Jack, and Craps. All winnings to be donated to the bride and groom.

Hire a photographer to take pictures of your guests in their 20’s garb, and have someone take Polaroid pictures to share and take home, for memories of a wedding that will soon not be forgotten.

How to Host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party

How to Host a Murder Mystery Dinner Party
by Fancy Flappers Unique Costumes

A Murder Mystery is an easy, entertaining, & affordable way to host a dinner party. It provides hours of non-stop entertainment and conversation with all guest participating. A role play party usually has a fixed number of guests, with each guest playing the role of a character.

Murder Mystery game kits can be purchased for appx. $30-$40 and usually allow for 8-10 players. The kit includes all the accessories to host your Murder Mystery party such as clues, skits, menus, music, costume suggestions, and manuals. Each guest will have a script, and instructions to play their role, so acting ability is not required.

To make the most out of your Murder Mystery dinner party, let your guests know well ahead of time what character they will be playing, and have everyone dress the part. Be sure to set create an ambiance with mood lighting, appropriate music, and a dinner menu that fits your scene. For instance, for a 1920’s themed Murder Mystery the time period would be the late 20’s, Prohibition, and Jazz. Your guest should dress as Flappers and Gangsters. The scene might resemble a dark nightclub with Jazz playing in the background. The host might serve hooch, and an all American meal like steak or roast, with potatoes and a fluffy dessert.

The game will have several rounds designed to fit around your dinner. Participants can discuss their clues and ask questions. Once players have gathered all of their clues, each character will declare their innocence by presenting their facts, and will then accuse a suspect. The game ends when the murderer has been revealed.
