What's the difference between Art Nouveau and Art Deco Anyway?

Art Nouveau was in style before World War I and Art Deco came into style after.

The quick answer is that it all comes down to; "flowery" vs. "streamlined." Art Nouveau is the decorative one. It's the one with the twirls and swirls. Art Deco is sleeker. It's the one with the geometric lines, shapes and hard edges.

1920s Beach Party Invitations

Roaring Twenties - A Day at the Beach Party

5" x 7" invitation features a vintage 1920's sepia image of people hanging out together at the beach dressed in stylish (for their time) roaring twenties bathing suits.

A Day at the Beach Card
by shelbysemail2

1920's theme parties are all the rage right now. They're the PERFECT theme for a party honoring someone who's about to turn thirty-years-old but it can be used successfully for a fun party for someone turning twenty-nine (again) or virtually any age.

We love this retro design because it uses a real vintage photo of a group of friends wearing their 1920's swimsuits and has the words, Hanging out with a few friends. Please join us.

It's shown as a birthday party invitation but it can be easily customized for any occasion with a beach, nautical, or summer theme.

Instead of the red, white, and blue that is prominent in the original poster by James Montgomery Flagg, this invitation proudly displays St. Patrick wearing a green suit and shamrock top hat with an orange bow tie.
