Many of us dreamed at least once to walk along the red carpet under the flashes of a huge number of cameras, shining with a beautiful outfit from the famous couturier (who created it for us), waving thousands of fans and shouting all sorts of greetings to them, as well as sending kisses. But, as it turned out, nothing is impossible in this world. If you want to feel like a star and at the same time have fun, organize a celebration that will be relevant to this topic. For such purposes, a Hollywood-style party is suitable, but how to organize it and in what cases, we will understand in this article.
Invitations
In order to organize a Hollywood-style celebration, you should, first of all, prepare your friends for this event. Invitations in the appropriate style are ideal for this. For example, they can be issued in the form of movie tickets. Do not forget to indicate the place and time in them. Also mention the party style so that guests can prepare in advance and choose the appropriate outfit. Imagine how your friends will be happy to receive such invitations.
Decor
If a party in the style of "Hollywood" is held in a private house, then here you need to take care of the red carpet. Lay it in front of the entrance. It will be original and funny if you ask one of your friends to photograph guests at the door and interview them, asking ridiculous and tricky questions. This will definitely remind you of beautiful Hollywood, and those invited will feel like stars.
Inside, place everything that can only remind you of a movie. Arrange small souvenirs resembling an Oscar in the corners, hang posters with Hollywood stars on the walls, put glasses with popcorn, scatter all kinds of old films around the house, and if you have the opportunity, place some shiny balls on the ceiling, this will also greatly diversify the atmosphere. Also a symbol of the Hollywood party is a large inscription that flaunts before entering this beautiful movie city - "Hollywood". Hang it on the walls, tables, chairs, at the entrance to the toilet, bathroom, in general, wherever possible. Be sure to make it shine (you can use foil for this).
Hang stars on the walls with the names of all the guests on whom they will have to leave their autograph. May you have your own “Walk of Fame”.
Fun music borrowed from famous movie soundtracks and colorful lighting will also do the trick.
Dress code
The most common option is a strict evening dress with an open neckline and tailcoat for men. So the stars usually dress up for the presentation of various film awards. But this is not necessary, because the main component of a Hollywood party is brilliance and luxury. Turn on the imagination, because you can dress up in the costumes of your favorite movie heroes, for example, in James Bond or Indiana Jones. Those who love cinema of the 60-70s can wear bright dresses, gloves, make eye-catching make-up by applying bright red lipstick on their lips and drawing arrows on their eyes. For example, you can take advantage of the popular image of Marilyn Monroe, wearing a white dress and a white wig. Girls should not forget about jewelry and accessories. There’s no need to rob a jewelry store, because you can also buy jewelry. Fans of science fiction will find outfits from the movie "The Fifth Element" or "Star Wars". It doesn’t matter what costume you choose, because a Hollywood-style party involves those outfits that are somehow related to the movie.
Table
If you decide to celebrate a birthday in the style of "Hollywood", then be sure to decorate tables with red or golden tablecloths, as well as large white plates. In general, at award ceremonies, stars never sit at the table. Most often they hold champagne glasses in their hands and talk, so it is more advisable to organize a buffet with various snacks, for example, let it be cheese snacks, olives, all kinds of fruits, profiteroles, mousses, vegetable salads, muffins, strawberries in chocolate, popcorn, etc. e. From drinks you can resort to cocktails ("Bloody Mary", "Manhattan", "Cosmopolitan", "Martini", "Tom Collins") and champagne. It is better if you take care of the waiter in advance who will deliver drinks to guests.
"Hollywood Wedding"
If you are going to get married and do not know how to diversify your celebration so that it does not look like anything, then a Hollywood-style wedding is what you need. This is a rather original idea, which will delight not only the invited, but also the newlyweds.
To start, please your friends and relatives with invitations that will correspond to the chosen topic, for example, postcards with the image of an Oscar or heroes of Hollywood films. You can also create glamorous invitations by sticking a bow with a pebble or a shiny pendant on them. In general, show your imagination - and your wedding in the style of "Hollywood", the design of which requires serious preparation, will be at the highest level.
Outfit of the bride
A wedding in the style of "Hollywood" should include the appropriate outfit of the bride. So, for example, you can wear a mermaid dress that fits the entire silhouette to the knees, and then elegantly diverges. This outfit speaks about the unique femininity of the bride and her charm.
You can choose a retro-style dress with a very full skirt and add bright accessories to it, for example, a hat and high gloves.
The main thing in the outfit of a Hollywood bride is luxury. The dress should be sewn from expensive fabric, as well as decorated with expensive stones and diamonds. The cost of such outfits starts at $ 1,000 and can end with an "nth" amount, but this is the purpose of the event in the style of "Hollywood".
A man should wear suspenders, a shirt, a vest, a bright bow-tie, patent leather shoes, a dress coat and a hat. The main thing is that his outfit matches along with the bride.
Tuple
The most suitable option in this case is a limousine with tuning in the style of the 50s, for example, Cadillac or Rolls-Royce. True, renting such a car is quite expensive ($ 150 per hour), but since you have chosen the Hollywood theme, you need to match it.
The bride’s bouquet should consist of gold, red or white flowers, it is better to use the services of a professional florist. The rings should be made of white gold, and on top of the gem sparkle, just do not overdo it, otherwise it will look pretty gone.
A photo session is an integral part of your "Hollywood" wedding, because the "paparazzi" must be present at your celebration everywhere. At the end of the wedding, you can edit a film with your participation.
Graduation in the style of "Hollywood"
This is a rather bright holiday that will not leave a single person indifferent and will remain in the hearts of the younger generation for the rest of their lives.
As soon as the graduates arrive at the venue, they should be met with a carpet and a lot of paparazzi who will click their cameras from everywhere and interview them. On the floor, draw stars with the names of each graduate.
As entertainment, you can arrange an award ceremony, where everyone should be given a kind of Oscar. After the rewarding, loud applause should be heard in the hall so that the graduates can feel as much as possible as birthday people.
As a banquet, you need to arrange a buffet with various sweet snacks and non-alcoholic cocktails decorated in the Hollywood style.
Music should be chosen from famous movies. When the Hollywood-style party comes to an end, you can give every graduate the opportunity to give a speech on farewell to the school and teachers.
Hollywood party contests
- This contest is suitable for all events, including the New Year in the style of "Hollywood". For each guest, buy small stars with Velcro or make them yourself. On them write the name of any famous actor or actress. As soon as everyone drinks and ate tightly, attach them to the stars on the back of the guests. Then each of the guests should guess whose name is written on his star. To do this, he must ask everyone suggestive questions like "Is this a woman?" or "Is this a modern actor?" The hall should only nod or shake its head, answering the questions posed.
- Distribute nomination sheets to each of the guests, only on the reverse side so that the invitees do not see in which area they are nominated. After all guests write their names, the leaves should be placed in envelopes. As soon as the guests have a good dinner, give the envelopes to the presenter so that he read out to everyone who won in which nomination. Believe me, it will be very funny if some big uncle wins the nomination "The best gait of the year." If you are planning a birthday in the Hollywood style, you can also dream up here, for example, deliberately nominate several guests in the nomination "Best Person of the Year", and the birthday person should win, respectively.
- The next contest is also suitable for corporate events in the style of "Hollywood". To do this, take the leaves in an amount equal to the number of guests. On each write “cinema tricks”, for example, Tarzan's cry, or a favorite phrase from a song by Marilyn Monroe. Each guest will have to pull out a leaf and perform what is described on it.
- A party in the Hollywood style cannot be held without casting, and, as you know, any person is ready to do anything to get the main role in the movie. To conduct this competition, select a producer, let it be a birthday man or a groom (if this is a wedding). The producer should say what is supposed to be done by this or that guest in order to star in his film. For example, show how Jackie Chan is fighting or how Darth Vader says. It will be a lot of fun.
As can be seen from the above, a Hollywood-style party, the script of which can be the most diverse, is one of the most fun and unusual. Therefore, show your imagination and have fun with your friends and relatives.
