The Great Gatsby
a name synonymous with the magnificent, majestic, and opulent.
F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic novel immerses us in the extravagant world of
Jay Gatsby, filled with glitz, glamour, and grandeur.
So why should you consider a Gatsby-themed dinner for your next event?
How to Make Your Dinner a Gatsby Extravaganza
1. Decorate: Backdrop & Walkway
To transport your guests to the Roaring Twenties, create a backdrop that captures the essence of Gatsby’s world.
Think dazzling gold and black with art deco designs. Giant golden statues, reminiscent of Oscar statues, can add that touch of grandeur. As guests arrive, welcome them with a red carpet walkway adorned with a star-studded arch, setting the stage for an unforgettable night.
2. Dress Code: Guest & Crew in Gatsby Themes
Encourage your guests to embrace the theme with Roaring Twenties-inspired attire.
Flapper dresses, beaded gowns, tuxedos, bowties, and feathered headbands are all fitting choices.
Your crew, from servers to hosts, should also dress in Gatsby fashion to add to the overall ambiance.
3. Atmosphere: Light, Sound, and LED Screen Idea
Create an atmosphere that exudes the charm of the Jazz Age.
Dim the lights and let chandeliers cast a warm, golden glow. Jazz music should be the soundtrack of the night, setting the mood perfectly.
Incorporate LED screens playing scenes from the Great Gatsby or displaying art deco patterns to enhance the visual experience.
4. Entertainment: Photobooth & Videobooth
Keep the excitement alive with interactive entertainment.
Set up photobooths where guests can capture their Gatsby-inspired looks. Provide props like feather boas and vintage hats for added fun.
A videobooth can allow guests to leave video messages, sharing their thoughts on the evening and their favorite Gatsby moments. These booths become hubs of shared enjoyment.
5. Performance: Dancers and Swing
No Gatsby party is complete without a dance floor.
Consider hiring professional dancers to perform the Charleston, the Foxtrot, or other popular dances of the era.
You can even offer dance lessons to guests who want to join in on the fun. Dance performances and lessons add a dynamic element to the evening.
A Gatsby-themed dinner is not just an event; it’s an experience.
It’s a chance to step into the grandeur of the past, to revel in opulence, and to celebrate in style.
By carefully curating your backdrop, setting the dress code, crafting the right atmosphere, providing interactive entertainment, and incorporating dance, you can create a Gatsby-themed dinner that will transport your guests to a time of magnificence and majesty. It’s a theme that promises an evening of elegance and unforgettable memories.
So, let the champagne flow, the jazz play, and the good times roll as you host a Gatsby dinner.

Simply pull your chin or your ear forward to create a defined jawline that will not only make you look slimmer but also extra photogenic. It might be uncomfortable, but we promise you that the end-result will make it all worth it!
Never pose with your arms flat on your sides or press onto your sides. Such pose spread the fats to the sides making it look larger and extra awkward. Try to create an inch of separation between your arms and your body to make your arms look more appealing.
Our professional photographers are trained to capture the beauty in you so just relax and let your beauty shine through your anxiety and doubts! Smile by letting your lower lips match the curve of your upper teeth, and allow your eyes to crease a little so it looks natural and sincere.
