Additional contests for the gangster party:

"Card cheat".
We give the participants a deck of cards and ask them to quickly hide it on themselves, but not with the whole deck, but at once, but several pieces and in different places - in pockets, in shoes, behind the collar, in a hat, in a sleeve. When the participants diligently and securely hide the entire deck, ask them to quickly find and show the king of clubs, for example. Now the participants will have to pull out the entire hidden deck one at a time in search of one card. Whoever shows it first is the winner!

"An experienced shooter is a clever thief!"
We hold a shooting competition, shooting from a pistol with bullets-balls at plastic cups. Each cup contains a crumpled fake dollar with a color written on it. when a participant knocks down a target, the presenter takes out a bill from a cup and calls the color indicated on it. Less accurate shooters are eliminated. The rest, having decided on the color, go “to work”. Their goal is to “rob” the guests by getting three things of the specified color from them. Which of the participants, in addition to a well-aimed eye, also has dexterous fingers, then wins.

"Criminal Couple"
The game is played by couples. Participants need to be handcuffed to each other (at worst, tie their hands with a rope). We give each couple a bottle of alcoholic drink and a bright ribbon. The meaning of the game is this: the friends of the hero of the occasion (that is, the Godfather) escaped from prison to congratulate the hero of the day. And they have a gift, just need to pack accordingly. The task of criminal friends is to tie a ribbon on the bottle with a bow. With hands tied, the task is quite difficult. As soon as the gift is "packed", it is handed over to the addressee. And the couple that managed the fastest is declared the most skillful.

"Count the gangster common fund."
Gangster party revolves around money. There is money in the bank, whoever determines by eye wins.

"Money smells".
Every decent gangster has a nose for money and the best one will accurately identify the currency blindfolded.

"Secret Spy".
For each of the teams, the host thinks of a certain phrase, which, with the help of gestures, one of the team players must show so that the team guesses as quickly as possible. Quickness and artistry are judged (the winner receives 300 USD, the third place is 200 USD, the rest are 100 USD)

The "Criminal Couple" is the best couple of the gangster party. In a pair, participants are handcuffed to each other (you can simply tie their hands with a rope). Each couple is given a bottle of whiskey (you can also have tea, of course) and a ribbon. The task is to tie a ribbon on the bottle with a bow. When the hands are fastened, it is not so easy to do this. Those who tied should immediately hand over the “gift” to the heroes of the occasion. Whoever is faster wins

Music break. Guests are invited to dance a little. The captains of their teams gather their “gang” and the one that dances more synchronously receives balls (the winner receives 300 USD, the third place is 200 USD, the rest are 100 USD)

"Shoe Makers"
Teams are participating. Each team chooses a captain. Teams sit opposite each other, participants take off one shoe or boot and throw it in the center in one pile. At this time, the captains stand with their backs to the teams. After the teams have taken off their shoes, the captains should put their shoes on their team as soon as possible. The team wins, the first one to be completely shod again. To complicate the task, extra shoes can be thrown into the pile (the winner receives 300 USD, the third place is 200 USD, the rest are 100 USD each)

Teams, having accumulated enough money, can now bargain at the auction and buy certain goods for themselves (all team prizes, sets of all sorts of souvenirs, sweets and cash prizes, etc.).

Nominations:

"Solo - Star" - 5 songs to choose from. According to the general recommendation, 3-5 people are called and everyone has the opportunity to sing a verse.

"Art Star" - eight people participate in the production of "Gangster Tale". How is the staging going? Very simply, the presenter reads the text of the fairy tale, and the participants depict the actions of the characters in the text. The most artistic person receives a diploma, all other incentive prizes.

This script and other hit scripts, as well as cool competitions, I have collected for you in one book, which you can buy online or in print.

Themed parties that require certain outfits and allow guests to appear in any way are always extremely popular. But even among them, some of the most popular topics stand out - "The Addams Family", "90s", "Rock and Roll", "Harry Potter" and, of course, a party in the style of Chicago.

America in the 30s excites the imagination of the guests and provides a lot of opportunities for the organizers. Such an evening can be successfully held at home in close company and gather a record number of guests in the largest and most expensive nightclub.

It is the venue that dictates the limits on what exactly a 1930s Chicago party will be and what it will require.

Is it possible to organize at home and how?

You can immerse yourself in the world of gangsters and prohibition everywhere, a city apartment is no exception. However, before you start organizing, you need to objectively evaluate your own home. If this is a two-story country mansion with a driveway for cars, then the possibilities for keeping the evening, the requirements for the entourage and other moments will be the same, but when holding an event in a one-room "Khrushchev" - completely different.

First of all, you need to decide not on the number of guests or decor, but on whether the existing room will be divided into zones, or the event will be held in a “single” large room. All subsequent ones depend on this moment.

When dividing the party place, you need to arrange each corner according to its purpose. If not one person organizes a home event, but spouses or friends, then this should be used. One can become a “bartender” and sell alcohol “from under the floor”, the other can “work” as a croupier. If you have karaoke, you can arrange a club stage area and give someone the role of "singer". Of course, you will need to learn the repertoire. In general, each corner, implying a specific purpose, must be designed in accordance, so that it is immediately clear what it is.

You can decorate a single room with a few strokes, turning it into something specific, for example, into the same casino or stage with a hall.

After the design issues, you need to think about the number of guests and the availability of the necessary dishes. The tableware is determined by the design of the area where the Chicago-style party will take place. If this is an Italian mafia family dinner, you will need a large pot filled with pasta and rough plates. If this is a casino, glasses and goblets of a conical shape with thick legs will be needed.

After resolving this issue, you need to issue invitations for guests. Invitations can prescribe to a person any image and style of behavior, for example:

“Olga, we invite you to a party in the style of Chicago. Your image is a cabaret singer in love with a bank robber. Start at 18:00. Do not be late, otherwise your robber will clean our cash register out of boredom.

However, when prescribing the style of behavior and image to the guests of such an event, one must proceed from their capabilities and desires. You should not turn a shy and uncommunicative friend into a croupier. He would be better suited as an undercover FBI agent.

Or, invitations can be sent without prescribing images, and at the entrance ask each guest to draw lots. In this case, you can make badges with the name of the role and a brief essence.

After the questions regarding the guests, with the choice of decoration and the main core of the evening are over, you need to think about the music. If the design is poor, and there are not enough entourage items, then it is quite possible to turn on a video selection of “gangster chronicles” or films on this topic without sound.

In order for a home party in the style of Chicago of the 30s to be a success, a photo from which can then be printed, placed in albums in the appropriate style and presented to each guest, one must not forget about the little things.

There should be enough space in the hallway for guests to change their shoes, for example, in winter this is important, and undress calmly. That is, there should be enough hangers, it makes sense to purchase an inexpensive shoe rack so that shoes and boots do not take up all the space on the floor. And so that people do not interfere with each other, in invitations you need to indicate their waiting time with an interval of 10-15 minutes.

In the rooms reserved for the event, the windows must be tightly curtained. The extra details of modern life can spoil the atmosphere, and besides, everything that is not required in a room where a 1930s Chicago party is taking place can be put on the windowsills.

The focus of the event should be based on what it is timed to. For example, on New Year's Eve, you can announce the abolition of Prohibition along with the chimes, and if it's someone's birthday, then announce a lottery win and present this "winning".

It happens quite interestingly if the guests have printed "toy dollars" with them, with which they pay, give bribes and, in principle, manage according to the content of the evening.

Also, if you are going to have a house party, you need to choose a day and time suitable for fun, for example, Friday evening, and warn your neighbors about your plans. This is necessary, since the audibility in most apartment buildings is very high.

How can the room be divided?

You can break down the place where the party in the style of Chicago of the 30s is planned into the following zones:

• Casino.
• Stage.
• Dressing room, next to which "gangsters solve their problems" or just play billiards.
• The bank, if there is such a “corner”, it is necessary to organize its robbery.
• FBI office or police station.
• A point of sale, here you should “sell” oranges, flowers, apples, decorative cigarettes or cigarettes, bottles of cider or cola and many other little things.

Of course, this is not a complete list of places that can be in a room where a Chicago-style party is held. The photos posted from such events include “Italian cuisine” as a background, and the hall of the trade union meeting, and even cellars with the production of underground wine, which guests bottle with the inscription “Olive Oil”. That is, the organizer's imagination is limited only by his knowledge of the subculture of the American 30s, associations, room possibilities and budget.

How to arrange?

The decoration of the room where the Chicago-style party will take place, the clothes for this event, its program and even the dishes used are subject to only one word - vintage. It is this style direction that determines everything - from the interior to the color of nail polish.

Strange as it may seem, it is much easier to decorate a large club for the event "Party in the style of Chicago" than an ordinary apartment. In a small room where people live, that is, there is furniture, a carpet lies, and so on, there is too much of everything that interferes with the creation of the right atmosphere.

Moreover, in apartments there is such an eternal problem as lighting. Side lamps with subdued light, capable of "obscuring" unnecessary details, but not plunging into darkness, rarely anyone has.

Of course, this moment is played up, something like is announced to the guests: “The trade unions advocating the interests of the workers of the city power plant have decided that they need a day off.” After that, candles or “disposable” lamps imitating them are lit.

All the desired items and decor in apartments usually simply do not fit. The most common mistake in housing design is an excess of entourage. There is no point in putting up a toy roulette if there is nowhere to set up a casino.

For the design of residential premises, you need to choose a few large recognizable details that clearly send you back to Chicago in the 30s. A good option is to decorate the wall with a large photo collage depicting a street in Chicago at the time. In the absence of an empty wall, the collage can be fixed on the curtains.

Images need to be chosen the most recognizable, in creating an atmosphere of originality, guests should see where they are. The same applies to clubs. Of course, one should not forget such a classic option as Wanted posters. No Chicago-style party is complete without them. Photos of guests should be placed on posters, pre-processed in the desired style. However, using this design technique, you need to pay attention and hang up posters made specifically for the 30s, without confusing them with the “cowboy times” of the Wild West.

How to dress?

If there is a party in the style of Chicago, how to dress is a question that interests everyone who is going to the event. Clothing style, which obeys the external image of those years, is vintage. Accordingly, suitable items can be found in vintage stores or ordered online. However, when choosing, you should not make a mistake. After all, vintage is not only Chicago during Prohibition. This is also the 20s, 40s and even 50s.

In order not to “get lost” in a series of photographs of different decades that are similar in appearance and in numerous tips, it makes sense to watch films about those times. For example, you can very well consider clothes, shoes, hairstyles, makeup, table decorations, other details, and even the behavior of various "thematic characters" in the movie "Johnny D". Looking through documentary chronicles, if there is a party in the style of Chicago, how to dress will not help to decide. In such frames, not a single detail of the costumes is visible, it is impossible to make out the makeup technique, and so on.

Where to get clothes?

You don't have to buy a Chicago-style party costume. As a rule, in every major city there is a company that provides things for rent.

Such an agency is definitely worth a visit and get acquainted with what is offered. As a rule, only a dress or a men's three-piece is given for rent, accessories for a Chicago-style party will have to be purchased independently, as well as shoes.

What details will create an image?

Even an actual 1930s movie star dress or a suit borrowed from Universal Studios will be completely useless with a ponytail or sneakers on your feet. When attending a Chicago Party event, how to dress is not the most important thing, any thematic image is created by details - hair, makeup, accessories.

The easiest way is to visit a vintage store, 30s accessories department, real or virtual. If the prices or the assortment do not suit you, then you should just remember what jewelry, bags, gloves look like, and go in search of analogues.

Accessories that create a feminine look:

• long beads, preferably pearl;
• bracelet-thread, combined with beads;
• a hoop, not to be confused with a rim, with a lush bird feather on the side;
• fabric gloves to the elbow;
• silk clutch bag with thin hoops;
• hats in the shape of a head made of fabric or crocheted, knitwear is unacceptable;
• small watch on a narrow leather strap;
• mouthpiece;
• stockings with a mandatory seam at the back;
• shoes with a stable heel no higher than 7 cm, with a slightly blunt toe or with a round one, with a narrow fastener in front.

The material of the dress is silk. At that time, other fabrics were also worn, but all evening dresses for ladies were made of silk. The cut of the dress is a rectangle. The emphasis was often placed on the hips with a belt, the waist was absent in this style.

Sometimes in Chicago Party events, the script implies a lack of authenticity. In this case, the accessories must be left appropriate for the time, but the dress can be worn from “scales” and according to the silhouette.

Men's Accessories:

• a flower in a buttonhole;
• hat "real gangster";
• dark leather gloves;
• revolver or Thompson submachine gun;
• pocket watch on a chain;
• lighter on gasoline;
• cigars or cigarillos, you can use black or brown thick cigarettes;
• cufflinks or rolled up sleeves;
• tie;
• muffler;
• classic men's shoes with an oval toe.

“Chicago style party event, how to dress, make a gangster photo” - this is how men most often turn to sellers in themed costume stores or to consultants in rental stores.

The most photogenic gangster will be a man in a three-piece suit, dark in color - blue or chocolate, but not black. The image should be complemented with a hat and a tie without a pin, and if there is a photo session on the street - a cashmere long light coat and a scarf.

How to comb?

A Chicago-style gangster party requires not only clothing and accessories, but also appropriate hairstyles for the time.

With men, everything is simple - a short haircut or “classic”, the hair is combed back, the use of wax or gel that does not create a wet effect is allowed.

But the ladies will have to visit a hairdresser, moreover, find a master who not only remembers from the training course what “cold waves” are, but can also make them. You can try to style your hair yourself by reading all about the cold wave method, but then you should practice first.

It is not necessary to lay out waves on the whole head, it is enough to make two scattering from the parting. In the most extreme case, you can use a headdress.

What's with the makeup?

The classic look of the time - pale skin, dark eyeliner, arrows, lush eyelashes and a bright, shiny mouth.

There is no need to draw lips with a “bow” and give them subtlety - this remained in the 20s. In the 30s, the shape of the lips was outlined with a bold line along the natural contour, powdered and lipstick was applied on top. The mouth was the main accent in makeup, and all colors were allowed, except for delicate shades, very dark and pink tones. That is, ruby, cherry, classic red will be ideal. You can use burgundy and brick brown tones.

Eyes should not be overloaded with shadows. Colored shadows do not come in handy at all. The look was distinguished by black shadows and an arrow outline drawn with a soft pencil. Particular attention should be paid to eyelashes, there should be a lot of mascara. Eyebrows didn't stand out.

What kind of music to choose?

The best music for a Chicago-style party is the one that was performed in those years in local haunts and entertainment places, but in a modern arrangement. The style is jazz and blues. They were at the peak of popularity in the United States in the 30s of the last century.

It is not worth looking for individual compositions, unless, of course, there is such a desire. You can find ready-made thematic multi-hour collections on any music site. Of course, you should first listen to the entire audio track in order to avoid embarrassment and unpleasant surprises.

What is worth thinking about?

As a rule, when thinking about a Chicago-style house party, at the preliminary stages, the organizers want to afford many times more than is possible in the existing premises. This also applies to the content of the evening, and the number of guests, and musical arrangement, and entourage items, and many other points.

Very often people get upset and generally refuse the idea of ​​such a holiday. Meanwhile, there is a fairly good way out of this situation. In every city there are small cafes that, in today's realities, literally “make ends meet”. Cafes that are empty in the evenings are everywhere. It makes sense to find such an institution and talk with the management.

There is no talk of renting an institution, you can agree only for the fact of bringing guests who will buy drinks and snacks. As a rule, there is always a mutually beneficial solution and the event is no longer held in an apartment, but in a small institution.

It is worth thinking about this method of holding a party if the number of guests is at least ten. You also need to choose a day when the invitees have the time and availability of funds. Since we are talking about an evening on which you will have to spend money, the time for receiving an advance or salary must be taken into account by the organizer.

If some of the invitations have already been sent out, then in no case should you say that “plans have changed” and so on. This approach to informing will devalue the party in the eyes of the guests.

You should send a beautifully designed notification, with something like this text:

“Olga, we have learned that the police are preparing a raid. But you don't have to worry - all the necessary measures have been taken. Your meeting with the bank robber will take place at (name of place, description of directions), at 18:00, date and signature.

That is, a change of venue should become part of the scenario of the evening, it is not necessary to notify the invitees that the organizer doubts the size of their own home and its suitability for the holiday.

There is no need to be too meticulous about the elements of the entourage, the appearance of the guests and other similar moments, you still cannot achieve complete authenticity.

Gangster clothing style- a style that imitates fashion in mafia circles of the 20s-30s of the 20th century in the USA. Traditionally, he is associated with mafia clans in Chicago. At its core, this style can be considered one of the specific varieties of retro style.

Story

Gangsters are usually called people related to the criminal world. However, this term can be called an anachronism without a shadow of a doubt. Currently, people who are somehow connected with criminals are referred to only as "bandits" or simply "criminals". In the word "gangster" there is a certain subtext, one might even say, an image. It is no coincidence that this term is used mainly only for those representatives of the underworld who were directly associated with it in the era gangsters of the 30s of the last century in the USA.

It all started in 1919, when the Eighteenth Amendment to the US Constitution was adopted in the United States. According to it, the production, sale and transportation of alcoholic products were prohibited throughout the state. However, the use of alcohol was not prohibited. As is often the case in such a situation, the total ban provoked the growth of an underground industry. Alcohol, being outlawed, continued to be produced, sold and transported, but cost big money on the black market.

It is no wonder that the most dexterous and enterprising businessmen profited from this situation, making fabulous capitals. One of the most prominent representatives of that era is the legendary Chicago gangster Al Capone. This legendary man dreamed of taking control not only of the black market for alcohol, but also of other "forbidden fruits": prostitution, gambling.

Of course, the laws of the underworld assumed not only a certain code of honor and behavior, but also required compliance with a certain one. Meeting by clothes is the norm for such circles. In addition, a large capital in itself unequivocally hints that its owner must correspond to it: dress expensively, “with a needle”. A business person, which nevertheless were gangsters, cannot afford to look untidy and dress in anything. Since the Chicago mafia was no doubt a real beau monde, along with billionaires and millionaires who amassed their fortune in relatively honest ways, these people could in a certain sense be considered trendsetters of the highest fashion.

Modern gangster style

This style is always luxury, pretentiousness, pathos. This is the appearance that can be described by the word "expensive". However, this was the case in those years when mafia clans flourished in the United States. Today it is only a visual imitation of that era, not always associated with serious spending on clothing.

For men, this style involves strict officialdom. These are white, black (rarely light) classic two-piece or three-piece suit with double-breasted. Very often, costumes of this style suggest the presence of a pattern in the form of a narrow vertical white stripe. A dark tie, sometimes interspersed with shiny fiber - as a symbol of exceptional chic, a laconic bow tie, cufflinks, more noticeable - these are for men.

The gangster costume is perfectly complemented by patent leather boots with rounded toes. The more they shine, the better. For the closest resemblance to the Chicago gangsters, the image is complemented by stylish white gaiters, white, a hat with a brim or a cane with a knob.

Ladies, girlfriends of gangsters, are sure to match their gentlemen. Their outfits are sophisticated, refined, feminine. - either small and black cocktail ones, or luxurious evening ones, embroidered with sequins, sequins, glass beads, rhinestones or beads. heels, fur coats, clutches and elegant little hats with or without feathers - in a word, all those accessories that indicate luxury. Diamonds complement the image well, or at least a worthy imitation of them.

However, often the modern interpretation of the image of a female gangster involves only a slight processing of the male image. The same striped suits, lacquered boots and gaiters, only a little more feminine. This style for women partly echoes the style.

Sometimes a deliberately sexualized image on women looks very unusual. For example, the gangster style of clothing for women, consisting of a crop top and the same short pinstriped shorts, complemented by suspenders, can serve as a good example of combining a purely masculine with a truly feminine one.

How to create a gangster style look?

Creating a gangster-inspired look will be easy if you know what clothes and accessories to use. To dress like a 20s gangster, follow the guidelines below:

Are you planning a mafia-themed party? Then watch our script that will help you to have the best mafia-style party. Your friends will be delighted and will never forget this theme night.

Mafia Party - Home Decoration
We will start, perhaps, with the design of the place for a mafia-style party. Everything here should be in strict black and white. Everyone who watched a movie about the mafia knows that these are the colors that prevail there. This applies to clothing, cars and all accessories. In one corner of the room, you can arrange a mini casino so that those who wish can play it. Buying a mini roulette for a casino is not difficult, they are sold in all gift shops. Also, do not set one common table, put several tables that should stand separately from each other. On the tables there must be bottles of wine, cigars and other mafia attributes.

What to wear to a mafia party?
The answer here is very simple - you need to wear everything black and stylish. The men wear suits and the girls evening dresses. If someone wants to dilute their style, then men can put a hat on their heads, and girls can put dark glasses on their eyes.

Scenario - the course of the event.
There are no words at such a party, everything happens quietly, because the mafia does not like to make noise for no reason. Therefore, we will describe the contests that you can play at such a specialized party.

Any gangster always has a loaded gun with him. So you either need a gun that fires plastic rounds or a slingshot. And the first competition for accuracy. You can shoot down anything: plastic bottles, beer and juice cans, draw posters with the enemies of the mafia clan and shoot them.

Not a single mafioso will ever refuse money, no matter what they “smell”. Therefore, we blindfold one participant, and give him any one bill of money in his hands. The banknote is given by one of the guests present. And it must be real! He sniffs it, touches it, strokes it, and calls the denomination. If he guessed right, then he takes the bill for himself, if not, then he gives it exactly the same, but his own.

Every house has such a bank, in which there is a trifle, that is, money in coins. The contestant says how much money he wants and pours some coins from the jar. After the poured out coins are recalculated, and if the amount that he has guessed is obtained, then his money. This competition can also be held in pairs. That is, any amount is guessed and both pour out coins. As a result, whoever has the amount poured out will be closer to the intended one, takes the money for himself. This game is a mixture of casino and gangster money sharing.

Have you prepared cigars for the party? Then it's time to smoke them. Participants, those who smoke, compete in the number of smoke rings released. You can also compete for the longest ash left on a cigar.

Have you seen in films how they torture? There, the victim is lowered head first into the water, and he cannot breathe. But that's how it is in the movie. And we offer you this: you need tea. Which you pour into some container, but only so that the head fits in it. The task of the participants is to lower their head into the container, and, without raising it, drink all the tea. Whoever manages to do it can be sent to reconnaissance, he definitely won’t betray anyone.

Another challenge contest. Participants are divided into pairs: a guy and a girl. They can be handcuffed, and give the key in the palm of your hand. And they must jointly open their handcuffs.
If there are no handcuffs, then you can tie your hands or feet. If the legs are tied, then they must jump to a certain place and free themselves from the rope.

In custody!
After such a party, you will surely want to have the best photos as a keepsake. Therefore, prepare a place for a photo shoot. It can be a wall that has marks for growth. That is, where criminals are usually photographed.

Father Frost: - No, no, no, I can't. Yes, they are already big. It’s not for me to dance with them!

Snow Maiden: - And that's right. So no justice. People have a holiday, and we are like horses in soap, with round dances and gifts. We entertain them ... I’ll sit here and I won’t leave my place!

Under the phonogram "Exit of the bandits", the main bandit (girl) enters the stage. She is seated on a chair, covered with a blanket. The bandits stand next to her. Santa Claus presenter is simply served a chair

Bandit
(slow and calm voice) : I have known you for many years, but you have never asked me for advice or help. I can't remember the last time you invited me to your house for a cup of coffee. Although his sister(points to bandit) godmother of your only granddaughter. Let's be honest now: you never sought my friendship, and you were afraid to be in my debt.

Father Frost: I didn't want to get into trouble.

Bandit : I understand. You found heaven in this school: you had a good New Year's business, you were protected by the administration, and you did not need friends like me. And now, you come and say: "Donna Alina, I need justice." But you don't ask with respect, you don't offer friendship, you don't even think to address me: "Godmother." No, you come to me on New Year's Eve and ask me for your granddaughter when I want to be with her. And you don't even invite me to the party.

Father Frost: I have an offer I can't refuse. Stay with us.

The phonogram "Italian folk - Tarantella" sounds. The Snow Maiden runs out onto the stage, hugs Grandfather Frost.

Bandit: That would be right away.

Gangster : Believe in miracles!

Father Frost: And now all together

Together: HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!

And that's all we are - the ladies and gentlemen of the Chicago party! But before we start dancing, I would like to tell you something. Throughout the evening, let each of you choose the best lady and the best gentleman! Our people will come up to you, you write down two names on a piece of paper and throw them in the trash. So the king and queen of the evening will be determined, namely Bonnie and Clyde! Don't miss this opportunity!

Major loss.

Leading : Thank you for your attention and participation in our party! And now dancing, dear friends.

Disco.
