Why Use a Party Planner for a Roaring 20s Birthday Theme?
Darling, let me tell you – when I hosted my first 1920s-themed bash, I thought I could wing it. Big mistake.
I ended up scrambling for flapper headbands at the last minute and nearly forgot to book the jazz band. Lesson learned!

- Google Sheets = effortless planning – You can access it from anywhere, make real-time updates, and even share it with your co-hosts or vendors.
Trust me, this planner will save your sanity while ensuring your party is the talk of the town (and trust me, people will talk).
What’s Inside the Roaring 20s Birthday Party Planner?
Now, let’s get into the juicy details. This planner is packed with everything you need to pull off a glamorous, Gatsby-worthy soirée. Here’s what’s inside:
1. Party Overview & Checklist
Before you start picking out champagne glasses, you need a game plan. This sheet helps you define:
- Your theme vision – Gatsby glitz, underground speakeasy, or jazz lounge?
- Task list with due dates – When to send invitations, book entertainment, and finalize the menu.
Having a timeline means no last-minute disasters (like realizing your bartender has no idea how to make a Sidecar cocktail).
2. Guest List & RSVPs
Nothing is worse than running out of champagne because unexpected guests showed up. Keep everything in check with:
- Guest names & contact details
- RSVP tracker – Who’s coming, who’s not, and who needs a little nudge.
- Special notes – Dietary restrictions? Someone insisting on dressing as a 1920s pirate instead of a flapper? Keep track of it all here.
