If you’re planning a glamorous New Year’s Eve celebration, a Roaring 20s theme is the perfect way to ring in the new year. The 1920s were filled with glitz, gold, champagne, and over-the-top decadence—everything you need for a truly unforgettable NYE party. Today, I’m sharing the top 8 must-have essentials to help you create an epic Roaring 20s New Year’s Eve Party full of Art Deco charm and Great Gatsby flair.
Art Deco Party Décor
No Roaring 20s theme is complete without classic Art Deco designs. To elevate the dessert table, we added an Art Deco backdrop standee featuring bold geometric patterns. A trumpet player standee added height and visual interest to the room. Standees are great focal points for highlighting areas like dessert tables, bars, or photo ops.
We also incorporated Art Deco motifs into our personalized stickers, labels, and wrappers to tie the entire theme together.
Coupe-Style Champagne Glasses
Champagne is essential at any NYE gathering, but serving it in classic vintage coupe glasses instantly adds 1920s charm. These timeless glasses not only look elegant—they perfectly match the indulgent Gatsby-style atmosphere.
Gold Accents & Metallic Glam
Gold dominated 1920s décor, making it a must-have for your NYE party. From table coverings to chairs and small accent pieces, gold brought warmth and luxury to our party setup. Don’t be afraid to mix metallics—touches of silver or black offer balance and create a richer, more polished look.
Pearls for Decoration & Dress-Up
Pearls are an iconic symbol of the Roaring 20s. We draped long pearl strands over chair backs, but they also work beautifully as:
Guest dress-up accessories
Dessert embellishments
Centerpiece fillers
They add instant glamour anywhere you place them.
Fedora Hats & Flapper Headbands
Adults love to dress up, too! Incorporate a dress-up element into your tablescape by adding classic fedoras, flapper headbands, or even extra pearl strands for guests to enjoy. These accessories bring playful authenticity to the theme and make for amazing photo moments.
A Fun Nod to Prohibition
Add a whimsical nod to Prohibition with clever signage or personalized stickers at your bar. It’s a fun way to weave historical context into the party without taking things too seriously. Personalized labels are simple to add and instantly elevate your event theme.
New Year’s Eve Party Blowers & Noise Makers
You can’t ring in the new year without classic NYE party blowers! We added blowers, horns, and confetti along the center of each table so guests could celebrate throughout the night—and especially when the clock struck midnight.
Roaring 20s Party Favors
Send guests home with something special like personalized confetti tubes. They’re simple to assemble, theme-friendly, and full of festive fun. It’s the perfect keepsake from your roaring celebration.
