A Hollywood themed birthday party is a snazzy one full of glitter and glamour that your guests will be talking about for a long time. Invitations are especially fun to create and send out, as they can be reminiscent of what movie stars get when they are invited to award shows or movie premieres. These can get your guests really excited about the amazing party you’re putting together for them in celebration of a birthday for any age.

Décor rests on a bold canvas of black, white, and red colors mixed with golds and silvers. Replicating the night sky of Hollywood with a black backdrop and tiny white stars that glitter can make your guests feel like they just walked out into a California night and are gazing up at the Hollywood sign. You should replicate this very sign all over your birthday party venue and really glitz it up in silver and gold tones with spot lighting that illuminates it.

You can even create a DIY photo booth with this same backdrop that guests absolutely love, complete with props like feather boas, top hats, and big sunglasses. Roll out a faux red carpet for your guests to walk on as they enter and set up décor hangings of movie reels, CUT! signs, and marquee lights. Cutouts of famous celebrities from the old movie star days such as Marilyn Monroe and Frank Sinatra add a touch of pizazz and also make for more photo opportunities for your guests.

Tinsel garland, gold balloons, and velvet red tablecloths add a sophisticated flair. You can even hang up big stars with each guest’s name on each one that poses as a replica of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (and these can be favors that the guests take home with them as well). Of course, you can’t forget the floral arrangements. Red roses are absolutely perfect for this event and big or small bouquets placed as centerpieces or just around the room in general bring a beautiful look to your Hollywood party.

Hollywood Themed Party Food

The food table is where you can really go all out with fancy fares, and that starts with the birthday cake. The birthday cake should be as extravagant as you can make it and it should embody all the glitz that is Hollywood glam. Try a three-tiered cake with sugar fondant designs of red carpets, stars, movie reels, and spotlights, with a cake topper that replicates the Hollywood sign letters, but instead spell out the birthday boy or girl’s name.

Other types of great cakes that are full of Hollywood detail are shapes of Hollywood imagery like a cake in the form of a Walk of Fame star or a movie reel. Regardless of what you choose to do with the birthday cake, don’t forget the details, as this is what makes a great Hollywood cake. On the same table as the birthday cake should be all the other food and treats that are just as embellished.

Star-shaped sugar cookies and award-molded gigantic pieces of chocolate served on glittering black plates are a gorgeous addition, while old timey popcorn boxes full of whatever salty snack you choose give a fun flair to the table. Cake pops with bow ties and olives served in martini glasses encompasses the best of old Hollywood glam. Gold bucket full of candy and cupcakes on silver stands with the faces of Hollywood celebrities as toppers ties the theme together brilliantly.

Hollywood Themed Party Favor & Games

Party favors are ridiculously fun and classy with a Hollywood theme birthday party. Hand out personalized barware or bottle stoppers with a movie reel on top. Hollywood star coasters or star-shaped sunglasses will ensure smiles. You can always incorporate favors into party games as well, and doing this really keeps the guests engaged and interacting. Do a movie trivia and award guests with fun prizes like mock Oscar awards. You can also play a movie star charades game and hand out party favors like DVD’s of classic Hollywood, award-winning movies. No matter what favors or activities you choose for your guests, a Hollywood birthday party is sure to be one full of laughs, delectable foods, and unforgettable memories.

• Masquerade Invitations

A masquerade is a phenomenal and breathtaking event in itself, so when using it as a birthday party theme, you know you’ll be throwing a soiree that your guests will be talking about for years after. A masquerade party is without a doubt the best way to put on a sassy, sophisticated, and simply magical event.

Masquerade Party Decorations

Decorations are everything with a masquerade themed birthday party, and you’ll want to stick with a bold palate of colors, including deep purples, reds, forest greens, and black. Sequins, sparkles, and feathers are also a definite staple for décor, along with sexy, dim lighting that really set the atmosphere. Of course, masks are the central theme of a masquerade birthday party, so hanging up elaborately detailed masks all over the party venue is a great idea. Posting up light up letters that showcase “MASQUERADE” ensure the guests feel as though they’ve just walked into a VIP event.

Large round lanterns filled with light will illuminate the space and tall, decorative candles on equally tall stands paired with red roses are a fabulous centerpiece for tables. Black tablecloths with gleaming white, damask-patterned tableware and glass goblets are an exquisite detail that the guests will enjoy tremendously.

Tie big, black satin bows on the chairs and table legs and create unique arrangements on the walls from oversized feathers. Chandeliers are a gorgeous addition that you should definitely bring into your event if you can, but if you can’t get your hands on a real one, opt for the wall decals. You can find beautiful chandelier wall decals in all colors that easily stick on the wall or glass and peel off without any mess or residue. This gives the event just one more flair of sophistication. Rhinestone vases and serving platters and doorways filled with sequin curtains are the final step in tying together the ultimate posh look.

Masquerade Party Food Ideas

Food is extra special for a masquerade themed birthday party, as you’ll want to add unique eats alongside the normal birthday fare. The birthday cake should be larger than life, and whether you go for a feather topper, or a masquerade mask topper, you should incorporate the birthday celebrator’s name on it.

Keep in coordination with the colors of the party when designing the cake and more than one tier for the cake is a popular idea for this theme. Each tier can be different shades with different images of a masquerade, like feathers, peacocks, glittering dots or bold stripes, masks, and classic patterns of damask or the fleur de lis. Cupcakes on high towers and gigantic cookies in the shapes of stilettos and corsets add a spark of the sensual, while red macaroons and apothecary jars full of pink cotton candy give a pop of elegance. Add a chocolate fountain with fresh fruit and voila! You have a dessert table that is beyond delectable. Make your guests feel lavish with savory hors d’oeuvres such as oysters on the half shell, boiled shrimp, vegetable pinwheels, and specially spiced popcorn.

Masquerade Party Favors

Party favors for a masquerade birthday party should be just as exquisite as the food and décor, so give your guests something they can remember. Masquerade mask bottle stoppers, wine glass charms, miniature personalized bottles of champagne, decorated tea light candle holders, embellished decorative candles, and rhinestone martini glasses are all great options for masquerade party favors. Individually wrapped specialty cookies, cake pops, and candies presented in fancy boxes or velvet bags are also a fantastic way to say thank you to your guests.

Masquerade Party Games

Party games for a masquerade birthday event are extremely interactive and can even pose as party favors as well. Have guests make their own masquerade masks to wear throughout the party and to take home with them. Use icebreaker games to keep the guests mingling, such as Guess Who’s Behind the Masquerade Mask, Masquerade Mad Libs, a scavenger hunt, or even a mystery murder game. Another must have for your masquerade birthday party is a photo booth! Guests will want to have plenty of photo opportunities to document the lovely and vibrant party, so ensure that there is a space set aside for your guests to pose for plenty of pictures.
