It’s official! We’re headed to the Gatsby Mansion for our 2017 WOW! Magic signature events! You can watch the big announcement in the video below, but first check out our newspaper announcement to find out why we’re headed to West Egg.
To prepare yourself to join in on the fun, we thought we’d share some helpful links on the lingo, the styles, the 1920’s (because even though Gatsby is coming to 2017, you know he’s bringing some good old fashioned 1920’s fun with him), and the icons of the time.
Check out the big reveal, by way of newsie, in action here and below, via our video and pictures!
So there you have it, we’ll be enjoying the flappers, swells, and pearls, along with the famous Babe Ruth, Charlie Chaplin, Coco Chanel, and so much more! We truly can’t wait to party with you at the luxurious Gatsby Mansion! Stay tuned for our event announcements, coming soon!
The most useful detail here is how the Gatsby event is framed through a handful of era-specific icons, which gives a reader a quick sense of the evening beyond the venue itself. If I were organizing a small 1920s-themed gathering, I might use the same approach by letting guests spin a number wheel to choose the next style prompt or trivia question, with no-repeat draws when the list is short. That feels more flexible than a fixed lineup, while still making a large theme easier to explore.
The 1920s references are more than decoration: flappers, swells, pearls, and Babe Ruth give the event four concrete cues. I would use that list to test each activity, then decide which anchor should lead the program.
