Roll Out the Red Carpet with Hollywood Invitations

Choosing a Hollywood theme for a party has become extremely popular! This theme works well for all ages, including kids, adults, milestone birthdays, and teen gatherings. The glitz and glamour of a Hollywood event will make all of your guests feel like a movie star. This year, host your very own Hollywood Premiere, and invite a fun group to enjoy a night of a thousand stars with you!

The first step to hosting your Hollywood party is creating a budget and a guest list. Send out invitations at least 3-4 weeks in advance and expect about one quarter to come back as regrets.

Choose a party slogan to use on your Hollywood invitations, banners, and any personalized decorations or favors you pick out. You can come up with your own Hollywood slogan or use one of ours:

• “A Night of Glitter, Glam & Glitz”
• “Hollywood Happening”
• “And the Award Goes To…”
• “Hollywood Nights”
• “Tinsel Town Tribute”
• “Night of a Thousand Stars” or
• “All That Glitters…A Golden Gathering”

Set the mood for your event with invitations that will give your guests a sneak preview of your plans, and ensure that you’ll have an award-winning party!

For Hollywood party supplies, our Hollywood Ensemble contains an invite that is perfect for this Hollywood party theme. You might prefer a great Clapboard Invitation to let guests know they’ll be treated like movie stars from the moment they walk up the red carpet and into your party. There are tons of Hollywood invitations you can have custom printed with your party details. You won’t have to spend all the time filling out each invitation by hand.

If you are sending out traditional paper or imprinted invites, consider sprinkling some clapboard and film roll confetti inside.

In your invitations, encourage guests to dress in gold or silver. Whether they dress from head to toe, or choose only one glittery piece such as a bow tie or some makeup, this fancy dress party is sure to please everyone. As an alternative, ask guests to come dressed as their favorite movie star, past or present. Possibly Marilyn Monroe, Audrey Hepburn, Rita Hayworth, Merrill Streep, Clark Gable, Rock Hudson, John Travolta, Mel Gibson or Danny DeVito. A third option is to ask guests to dress in their own dream awards show outfit.

Decorate with the Glamour of Tinsel Town

Make your party sparkle with all the stars and glitter of the famous Hollywood Hills! ShindigZ has tons of Hollywood party decorations plus tips to get your party underway.

Outdoor Decorations

Start your decorating outside the front door of your party location. Roll out the red carpet for your guests by using one or two red aisle runners from curbside to the entry doors.

For an exciting party starter, place a lighted Hollywood Marquee at your entrance or in a foyer. You can customize it with a fun party message to set the mood for your event! Plus, it can be reused for future fun.

Put the guest of honor in the limelight with a Hollywood Personalized Banner! It will dazzle your guests as they walk through the sparkling metallic red curtain.

Indoor Decorations

Before you select your decorations, choose a color theme to work with. Generally, working with two colors works best. For an authentic Hollywood theme, choose black and gold, red and black, or black and silver as your theme colors.

Announce your big event with a Hollywood Memories Mural, and then use several to decorate your event room! The 5′ high x 5′ wide mural can be customized with your event information.

Lavishly use the standard razzle-dazzle Hollywood décor: movie clapboards, movie cameras, spotlights, palm trees, director’s chairs, film cans, top hats and canes, and feather boas.

Sprinkle stars in all sizes over everything: entryways, tables, ceilings, walls, and tucked inside invitations. Use star confetti, star garland, die-cut stars, star balloons and our star gossamer (a lightweight fabric that is wonderful for swags and accents).

Hang black & white 8″ x 10″ glossy photographs of Hollywood legends around the room.

There are hundreds of decorations in silver and gold including glittery metallic curtains, inexpensive star-shaped chandeliers, beautiful gossamer material, and shimmering Hollywood balloons! To add some extra flare to your party, purchase several cans of silver and gold spray paint, and cover anything and everything in your theme colors.

If your budget allows, Hollywood theme kits are great ways to totally transform your entire room into a Hollywood premier.

Table Decorations

Setting a table with party ware, including the tablecloth, cups, plates, napkins, and cutlery, is the fastest way to create a focal point in a room. Start by setting your table with a Hollywood Ensemble, creating a placesetting at the table for each guest. Accent it with a Hollywood table decorations.

Floating candles look absolutely lovely and elegant on your tables. Color the water with food coloring to match your color theme. Place a glass bowl, or several different sized wineglasses filled with water on a mirror. Add candles and gemstones and enjoy the dreamy look!

Clapboard place cards and plastic popcorn containers filled with snacks make great accents to your table decorations.
