Walk of Fame

Give your guests the star treatment with glamorous Hollywood birthday party decorations. Roll out the red carpet and welcome your guests to the walk of fame, complete with paparazzi snapping away. If the heat of the bright lights too hot, escape to your very own VIP lounge.

Step and Repeat Wall-Entrance
 

Give your party loads of personality by creating unique areas throughout the event space.

Snap photos of guests as they enter the party in front of a Step and Repeat Wall, which is a backdrop with sponsor logos that celebrities pose in front of for photo ops at events.

Roll out a red carpet and set up red velvet scansions to give your entrance an award-winning touch.

Ask a group of friends to show up early with cameras and play the paparazzi.


VIP Lounge- Beverage Station 

Max out an area of the party as a VIP lounge and beverage station.

Rent contemporary couches and cool side tables for all to chillax.

Brand the party with the birthday boy or girl's name on banners, beverage glasses, even candy bars!

Set up a Hollywood director's chair embroidered with the birthday girl or boy's name.  

Hollywood Landmark- Food Station
 

Pave a path to stardom by placing blank Hollywood Walk of Fame tiles on the ground leading guests to the food station.

Drape the food station with a black cloth and add shimmering accents using fabric overlays and Hollywood-themed tabletop decor.

Hang large letters that spell out "HOLLYWOOD" on the wall behind the food station or use a scene-setter.

Beverly Hills- Guest Dining 

Post Beverly Hills street signs in the area reserved for guests' dining tables.

Class up the tables with white cloths, tasteful flower arrangements and votive candles.

Fill in the Beverly Hills zone with lush tropical plants and greenery.
