Start with the walls. You can download and print our free 1920s movie posters to hang around the room. They instantly bring in the look of the era, and you can scale them up or down depending on your space. The styling and dramatic titles add the right vintage flair without costing a cent. You can also edit all of the text to relate it directly to your party or guests.

There are movie posters, theater posters, and various murder mystery posters that are all completely editable to your tastes.

For the drinks area, try our free wine labels. These can be wrapped around any bottle you already have, turning modern wine or soda into something that looks like it came straight out of a hidden cellar. It’s a quick way to make even the smallest detail feel in theme.

Another great option is wine labels. The text and images can be edited to your liking, so you can personalize them to your guests. It makes great keepsakes to remember your party by.

If you’re quick at printing and glueing, you could even add the winner’s name to one of the wine labels moments before handing it off to them.

If you’re ready to spend a little, small purchases can make a big difference. Bootleg crate labels are super cheap, and you can stick them onto any box to make it look like contraband liquor just arrived. Stack a few near the bar and the whole room starts to feel more authentic.

These types of crate labels have an old-timey design to them, so when glued to a box, they’ll make them look like labeled crates of prohibition booze.

If you’re serving a full dinner, add a set of 1920s Art Deco dinner menus. They don’t cost much, but they pull the theme together in a way guests will notice. The design makes the table feel like it belongs in a real speakeasy, and it’s a nice touch that photographs well too.

These templates can be edited to add all your dishes to them. There are 3 templates included and they all have a 1920s look to them with different colors and designs to match any dinner theme.

Gambling was a big part of speakeasies, and you can add that element without setting up a full casino. A small roulette table works perfectly. Guests can play if they want, or you can simply leave it as decoration. Even unused, it signals speakeasy nightlife and becomes a conversation piece.

I like to use these as a bit of entertainment while waiting for guests to arrive and when the murder mystery is over and guests are still yearning for more excitement.

To avoid any real gambling and losses, I use fake money that can be found on Amazon. It’s very cheap for thousands of dollars worth of bills that guests can gamble to their heart’s content with.
