Hollywood translates emotions on to the big screen, creating the "Wow" factor. So, when planning your own movie party, you have a lot to live up to! Not to worry – we’ve got your back, and can walk you through it with ease, offering up movie party decorating ideas that are sure to guarantee your guests have an unforgettable time.

Movie Party Checklist

First, you must map out your movie party guide on paper :

• Who’s on your guest list?
• What movie(s) will you show?
• What type of food will you serve? (You HAVE to have the food, or nobody will show up!)

Okay, we’ve got most of the bases covered, but there’s something missing… what is it? Well, the above three are sufficient if you just want a casual get-together. But if you really want to impress, spruce up your living room with Hollywood party decorations specific to the genre of movie you will be showing! Adorn the walls with Hollywood posters and movie stills of your favorite actors, and plant a life-sized cardboard cutout of your favorite celeb outside your door to “greet” your guests.

But we digress. Let’s plan and accessorize this puppy from the beginning. Think “Hollywood” for every aspect of the evening, starting with personalized invitations to your prized event. Include the every-popular “admit one” ticket for that real theater effect.

Think your friends will have trouble finding your house? You can ensure that they won’t miss it. Plant a Hollywood party yard sign out front, and place movie studio lights paper lanterns along your walkway to direct guests to your front door.

Movie Party Planning

Now that the movie party decorations are taken care of, you must decide what type of movie you will show. The most effective movie party is organized around a movie genre. Select gun-fighting westerns, like True Grit or The Good, the Bad and the Ugly. Or maybe the explosive, car chases and great special effects of action movies like Die Hard, The Matrix or Terminator. Sports fans can turn to Rocky, The Natural or Jerry Maguire. More romantic Hollywood fans might choose Breakfast at Tiffany's or Bridges over Madison County.

Have Some Fun With Your Food!

After planning the menu for your glamorized movie party, add Hollywood party decorations to complete the magic. Use clapboard food & cocktail picks for your finger food and hors d'oeuvres. Mix and match for your place settings, with gold stars lunch napkins and paper plates. Beverages can be poured into Hollywood nights paper cups. The cascading stars centerpiece with Metallic Stars Confetti is a neat finishing touch, sitting atop the stars table skirt.
