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.

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.
