Speakeasy Decorations
To broaden the fun, you'll need to find some great Gatsby Art Deco design decorations to make your event room really look like a 1920's Speakeasy. Again, Amazon can be your best friend in this department because you can find so many great things without leaving your home but be sure to look around your home for anything that might add to the decor and of course, you should be able to find some great things at your local party store and thrift shop.

Prohibition signs, wanted posters and faux bullet holes will look amazing at your party. Black, White and Gold streamers and balloons will add to the appeal. Pearls and strings of beads were popular back then too so if you've got any be sure to drape them around the room.

Fun Speakeasy Props
And last but not least, even if you don't opt for a full out photo-booth or photo booth backdrop, you should consider adding some fun props to the party scenario. People love to get a little silly and something like a chocolate cigar can double as a party favor too. Once again, Amazon to the rescue! I found lots of fun props there but I'm sure they're available at your local party store too. Here's a couple of my favorites.
