Something Special: A week before the event get dressed up in your gangster gear with close friends and take photos of each other. Print the photos and put them temporarily in photo frames or stick them over the wall on the night. Now you're part of your very own mob family!
Find Spotify playlists/MP3s that are themed from the 1920s to play during the night. Big band, swing, trumpets, Charleston or Can Can type music is great.
If you have a large television screen or projector, play an iconic gangster movie etc (WITHOUT sound) and have it flickering during the night
