1930's Theme Party Invitations

1930s theme party invitations
Isn't it funny how some decades are more popular than others? Here at Retro Invites, we think the thirties are getting a bum rap in that department. A 1930s theme party is a party that celebrates the culture and style of the 1930s, a decade marked by the Great Depression, the rise of fascism, the prohibition era, and best of all, the golden age of Hollywood.
Some 1930s party themes you can explore are:
  • ​​Art Deco party: Art Deco was still considered "swell" in the nineteen thirties. Decorate with geometric patterns, metallic accents, and bold colors like black, gold, and silver. Serve classic 1930s dishes like oysters Rockefeller, shrimp cocktail, Waldorf salad, beef Wellington, and baked Alaska. Mix some classic 1930s cocktails, such as Martini, Manhattan, Sidecar, Negroni, Gimlet, Bee’s Knees, and Old Fashioned.
  • Gangster party: Set the scene with a speakeasy vibe, with black and white photographs of notorious gangsters, such as Al Capone, Bonnie and Clyde, and John Dillinger. Encourage guests to dress up in suits, fedoras, flapper dresses, and long gloves. Play some jazz music and card games and have a trivia contest about the 1930s crime scene.
  • Hollywood party: Celebrate the glamour and glitz of the 1930s movie stars, such as Greta Garbo, Clark Gable, Bette Davis, and Humphrey Bogart. Decorate with movie posters, film reels, and red carpets. Have a costume contest and a movie quiz, and show some classic 1930s films, such as Gone with the Wind, The Wizard of Oz, King Kong, and Frankenstein.

Choose one of our snazzy 1930's theme party invitations to get your ring-a-ding-ding retro event started with a bang.
