1920's Theme Party

(Dallas, TX)

It was my 50th birthday and I had a 1920 theme, I wanted to do something that would include my children ages 28,20,14. So I found different parts for them to portray like the cigarette girl, my son was at the door dressed like a gangster patting guests down, my oldest participated in a game that included all the guests, and last I hired a small company that provided slot machines and a couple other casino games. The setting was dim lights, small cocktail tables give away bags included different candies I loved as a kid (most aren't sold now). The invitation, parched paper rolled up like a newspaper, The cake was drawn like a the front page of a newspaper with pictures and stories of me from childhood to my marraige. I and most of my guest dressed in garb like the 20's. It was two years ago and my freinds are still talking about it.
