A Hollywood party theme can include everything or just focus like a laser on certain aspects of the movie industry. The sky is the limit when it comes to developing ideas for a party that revolves around the glitz and glamor of Tinseltown. The one thing to remember when throwing a Hollywood theme party is that it really needs to be an event. Make it stick in the memory of your guests and don't be afraid to go over the top.
Invitiations
Get or make invitations that resembles a movie clapper. A clapper is the black chalkboard that is clapped before each shot. These clappers have individual areas for the name of the director, the shot, cameraman and other items in real life. Use these rectangular areas to include information about your party.
Awards
Statuettes that resemble the Oscar are plentiful and inexpensive in party stores and on the Internet. You can buy these and add personalized information to make gifts to hand out after games. Consider movie trivia games for which the winner gets an award, or hand out awards for best costumes if you choose to go the Hollywood costume party route.
Cakes
An easy Hollywood theme cake to make is one that looks like a film canister. Also consider a cake made to resemble an Oscar or a clapboard; another option is one that evokes a film scene or character
Charades
A Hollywood party is the perfect place to place charades. After all, one of the traditional charades categories is movies. Include movie songs, characters and movie star names along with movie titles.
Decorations
A red carpet leading from the road to your house can bring to mind the waltz down the red carpet at award shows. Don't forget to take advantage of the single most famous icon in Hollywood: the Hollywood sign itself. It's relatively painless to create a 3-D Hollywood sign from Styrofoam; or many party stores have Styrofoam letters.
