Hollywood theme parties are so much fun to throw, but can also be alot of work. But how do you plan for one? This guide has been created to help any party planner make their Hollywood Party a resounding success.
Decorations for Classic Hollywood
Movie Stars, Glitz & Glam, already sounds like fun. Now let's plan....The key to making your classic Hollywood a hit is by creating the look and feel of Hollywood. It is ideal you select a Banner or Mural to display at your party. Silver, Red, Black, Gold, and white balloons are the best colors for a Classic Hollywood Theme. We recommend you use coordinating color tablecloths that match your balloons.Hollywood Party Music will definitely help set the atmosphere. Clapboard centerpieces will be perfect for your tabletops. Post up Hollywood Street Signs, which you can even make yourself. We recommend selecting a few party scene setters that will instantly create any room into a party room. We recommend the following scene setters for Classic Hollywood.. Elvis Scene Setter, Cityscape Scene Setter, Marilyn Monroe Scene Setter, Hollywood Sign, Film Roll Border. Hang Hollywood Cutouts and Celebrity Photos B/W photos recommended. If your budget can afford it, we recommend purchasing a couple of Celebrity Lifesize Standups such as Humphrey Bogart and Bettie Page. You can also find a Clapboard Standup that can be used as a backdrop for picture taking.
Decorations for Awards Night
To create some fun, have your guest participate in a Hollywood party game. A Hollywood Ballot Cast your Vote game is recommended for award nights.

Hollywood Party Activities & Fun Ideas
For more informal photographs recruit a friend or hire an amateur photographer to come dressed as the "Stalking Paparazzi". Guests will genuinely feel like celebrities with this camera-toting hound on the loose! Or even place disposable cameras on each table for your guests' perspective and a ton of great photos!
Have a Toast for this Special Day!
A fabulous Hollywood Party game for movie nights is Hollywood trivia. Your guests will love to participate. If you are having a sit-down dinner, roll a sheet of trivia questions, and tie it with Ribbon to match your theme colors. Set the little bundles at each place setting. If you are serving food buffet style, put them in a top hat and let guests play during the commercials. Provide a list of movies and movie stars; have guests match as many actors/actresses with the films they starred in, or have them try to match movie titles with the year the movie was released.
Another fun "Hollywood" trivia game is to see who can name the most films that have won an Academy Award™ for "Best Picture".
Play a Hollywood variation of 20-Questions. As each guest arrives, pin a Die cut star on his or her back. Each star should contain the name of a different Hollywood star (past or present). The goal for each guest is to find out who they are for the evening by asking only "yes" and "no" questions of the other guests. Limit each person to one question per guest. This is a fantastic game to play if all your guests are not well acquainted, as it encourages everyone to mingle!
Honor the guest of honor, and treat out-of-town guests like VIPs by renting a limousine to transport them to and from the party location! If you have the limo rented for several hours, offer "joyrides" to all the guests!
If you are hosting your party to recognize one of the glamorous movie or television awards shows, build the viewing of the broadcast into your party. Newspapers or entertainment periodicals will provide a complete listing of the nominees and the categories in which they are nominated to win in the days leading up to the show. Make one copy of the list for each guest, and prior to the start of the show, ask each guest to give their best guesses on who will win what. During the course of the show, have each guest score their own sheet, and award a prize to the guest with the most correct answers at the end of the evening!
