For men, a slightly oversized golf hat, matching vest, and pants, a pair of spats, or two-tone shoes, accessorized with a pocket watch on a chain.
For women, a sleeveless knee-length dress with fringe at the bottom, accessorized with an extra long peal necklace, a headband with a feather on the side, and high-heels.
Get creative with your invitations. It's prohibition, so make sure you let your guests know the password to get into your speakeasy. (“Swordfish" is a great password, that was first used in the 1932 Marx Brothers movie Horse Feathers)
Alcohol should not be allowed for the first thirty minutes of your party. When the time is up, make a big, fanfare announcement, that prohibition has been repealed, and open the bar. If you really want to get creative, have someone dressed up as a corner news-seller, complete with authentic copies of newspapers that carry the prohibition repeal headline.
Serve authentic cocktails from the period; Bee’s Knees, Colony Cocktail, Mary Pickford, New York Sour. You can find these recipes, and more by doing a simple Google search.
And don't forget the music... You don't need to spend a dime, just head on over to The 1920's Radio Network, They stream Big Band and Old Time Radio 24 hours a day. http://www.whro.org/home/1920s/
