It’s time to roll out the red carpet, put on the glitz, and throw a fabulous REEL Hollywood Party! From birthday bashes to engagement soirees and baby showers, a movie-themed party is one of the best ways to make your guests feel like stars for the night.
Check out our tips on throwing a star-studded Hollywood movie party!
• The Oscars are quickly approaching on February 24. Make a night of it by inviting friends over to view the Academy Awards. Channel the glamour of the awards by asking your guests to wear their best evening gowns and suits, and let them walk a red sidewalk runner as they enter your home. Nosh on hors d’oeuvres and champagne served on gold plates, cups, and napkins, and accent your home with silver and black balloons and streamers. Create ballots for your guests to record their winner predictions, and send the guest who has the most correct predictions home with a Hollywood party favor, such as a star-shaped wine stopper.
• If you’re throwing a movie-themed birthday party, invite your guests with cute popcorn box invitations. Include with your invitations ballots so each guest can vote on which movie will be shown during the evening. You could even rent a projector and show the movie on a white wall for a movie-theater effect. For food, create a popcorn bar! Serve plain popcorn and let your guests choose their toppings. Some topping ideas are: cinnamon, sugar, parmesan cheese, cheddar, Sriracha, lime, salt, and butter. Serve the popcorn in REEL Hollywood popcorn cups. Don’t forget to decorate with fun popcorn confetti!
• Are you preparing to host an engagement party? Make it a “Hollywood Premier” by asking your guests to come dressed as famous celebrity couples or their favorite stars. Create a photo booth and use shimmery door fringe or a red decorating panel as the backdrop. Provide fun photo props, and send your guests their photos after the party.
• A really great gender-neutral baby shower idea is to throw that bundle of joy “A Star is Born” party! Bake up some star-shaped cookies, ice them with blue and pink icing, and serve them on a cute, star-shaped tray. For a game, you could print out photos of celebrities as babies and ask your guests to guess who each baby is.
