ChiOqt,
A Gatsby party is in tribute to the "The Great Gatsby" one of the great American Novels of the last century! (I adore the book, can you tell.)
So, you mimic one of Gatsby's parties, wearing 1920s clothing, decorating everything in the "art deco" style, and drinking champagne, (or ginger ale
) from beautiful champagne glasses.
I've been to Gatsby parties in the summer where everyone had to dress in white as well, men wore beautiful linen suits...it was gorgeous. But for collegiate purposes it's a fabulous party to throw especially if 4 organizations go in on it together and really go all out. It's ideal for a once-a-year tradition sort of party.
Did I explain it clearly?
