What is speakeasy party

You never knew when there was going to be a police raid by the Keystone Cops. Speakeasy clubs were dark. To create the mood, set up a warm, dim ambiance for your s speakeasy party with candles and dim pendant lighting. You can find posters on the internet. Print them out and place them in a frame. Place boxes around the room with signs that say ale and rum. You need some poster board, glitter paper, and a photo or illustration of a whiskey barrel or a classy image for a stylish party.

Get some poster board, Christmas lights out of the attic, or use string lights and some hanging wire for your sign. Any speakeasy party had booze. And what better fits the theme but gambling, a big part of the speakeasy culture. Get some gaming tables so your guests can be naughty. You also need casino games. You can locate a casino party vendor online.

Or have them shipped to you. Some games popular for the era still around today include craps and blackjack, and roulette. Looking for an event space to host your speakeasy-themed party? Apparently if you change the movie to a pop video in the setting it should loop, but as I said, I was never able to.

If this explanation helpe, I would really appreciate it if you could subscibe for future posts on my blog. So beautiful! Thank you for sharing! Do you sale the posters you made? I love the giggle water and bathroom posters! Hi Keenan — Thanks so much for your message.

I would be happy to sell any of the printable s. I am planning this very type of party for my 20th anniversary and would love your invitations. I saw you were offering to make them for others and would like to know if you can make me some.

Please contact me. Thanks for your comment Pamella. Glad you like it. Hopefully it will inspire you to make some of the items for your party. Hi Diana, My name is Petronella Hallberg. I am 29 years old and I live in Sweden. Internet is full with Great Gatsby inspired glamorous party-inspiration, which i not what I am going for.

Than I found your amazing Speakeasy newspaper invitation and the post from your birthday party. It just blow my mind. Your posts gave me so much inspiration for my party. Now to my questions, do you share your templates for invitation or is it possible to purchase them? I would so much like to use the same invitation template for my party. Thankyou for your really lovely message. This was a fabulous party theme, and we had such a great birthday.

I dont have templates as such to share but I have done a couple of modified personalised versions for people like you that have asked for copies. I can then change the details to make them specific to you.

I would provide digital copies for printing of the save the date telegram, the newspaper and the temperance cards. The total cost would depend on the specific modifications you wanted. I will drop you an email with some ideas of the changes and what they would cost. You can let me know if this is something you would be interested in. I would share any of the other digital posters etc included in the price if you do decide to go ahead.

This is amazing! I am turning 50 in September and thinking about a speakeasy theme for a couple of months now. Finally started searching online and I think I found everything I need—you did an incredible job and I may be stealing all of your ideas and recreating your event miles away :.

Thank you for sharing and for being so creative and inspiring. Hi Deb, sorry for the delay in replying to this. It seems to have slipped through the net! It is so lovely to hear that people are planning to use some of my ideas — steal away!. Have an awesome time, and please do send me some photos of your party, im sure you will have a blast! Your email address will not be published. The 49 Club is Closed Luckily we have a back entrance to the garden, that will serve as the entrance to the new club.

Entrance to the secret 50 Club The invitation directs our guests to the side road where we have the back entrance to our garden. The Keystone cops will be kept busy. They may also share their insignia with Surrey police.

Every speakeasy party needs a secret doorway…. And every speakeasy door needs a peephole… Any self respecting speakeasy entrance needs a peephole. In The Garden Inside the garden, continuing the ladies temperance theme, We laid out groups of chairs and tables in clusters. Around the garden….. Posters ask guest to leave their Tommy Guns at the door. And finally in the garden some placards demanding repeal of the prohibition laws.

We were incredibly lucky with the weather on the night. But we want the inside to look more like a bar. Business at the front. Party in the back. The cocktail guys installed these foldable bar units in under an hour. Fortuitously they are the perfect size for the space between our kitchen and the kitchen table. Decorate decorate decorate. Serve cocktails in unusual vessels for maximum effect.

The charity shop is your friend…. Charity shops are a great place for tea cups. If you are given your drink it means you have passed the test and we know you are not an undercover agent — we will then allow you to enter the Christmas party of your life!

And like all good speakeasies we have to hide the main event, in case of a raid, so you will be held in the gin joint where we will entertain you with our very own Moonshine boys who play as much jazz and smokey blues as you can handle! Once we have the all clear from the gang, we can lead you through to the main party with our grand reveal and from here on we invite you into the ultimate Christmas party experience — excessively extravagant, special effects and specialty acts, a West End style roaring twenties show, a DJ, charity fun casino and an added extra at this speakeasy … we will serve you a sumptuous three course meal and of course, in case we do need to make a quick get away, you can jump on the dodgems!

So there you have it folks — if you are wondering what a Speakeasy is, then head over to Aintree Racecourse this Christmas for a rip-roaring, gin soaked, jazz dancing, s themed night of fun.
