Hollywood Theme Party Decorations

From creating your very own celebrity sightings to creating the right Hollywood atmosphere with lighting, we can help you transform your party area into Hollywood's hottest spot!

Celebrity Sightings

Ask your friends to come to your Hollywood theme party dressed in their finest celebrity party clothes. Leave room for interpretation to let guests get creative in their ensembles.

Hollywood Sign

The most famous Hollywood landmark is definitely the iconic white Hollywood sign in the hills. Create your own version for the party by printing out the letters onto white cardstock and hanging or taping them to a wall for the evening. For detailed instructions on creating your own Hollywood sign, check out the Crafts section of this article.

Red Carpet

Let your guests know that your party is an A-List event by rolling out the red carpet. If you have your own driveway, lay down the red carpet leading up to your front door. Apartment or condo dwellers can put down their red carpet in the entrance hallway or other high-traffic party area. See the Crafts section for a step-by-step tutorial on creating a red carpet. The extra bonus is that it will also protect your real carpet from food and beverage spills.

Lighting - Spotlights

Create dramatic uplighting or spotlighting for your Hollywood party by purchasing a portable uplight at Save on Crafts. Use it to light up the food area, dessert area, the bar, or light up the Hollywood sign on a wall to add real drama to the scene.

Lighting - Candles

Whether or not you decide to use uplighting or spotlights, candlelight is a Hollywood theme party must - it sets the mood and creates a swanky LA vibe that guests will love. And besides...everyone looks better in candlelight, even celebrities.

Unless you have lights on a dimmer switch, cut the bright overhead lights in your home and put out plenty of candles to softly light the party. Tall pillar candles, candelabras, tea light candles, scented candles and floating candles are all great ways to create a sultry Hollywood party scene. Your friends will think they've just stepped into the hottest nightclub in town.

Paparazzi

Buy four to six disposable flash cameras for the party ($1.75 each at Digi Expo), and encourage guests to become paparazzi for the evening. Set the cameras in front of a sign that asks them to snap stealth shots of the other guests at your party. Constant flashes going off is a sure sign that your party is a serious Hollywood soiree.

Celebrity Friends

Purchase a few celebrity magazines and tear out pictures of your favorite celebrities. Then, replace normal photos around your home with celebrity faces for the party. A fireplace mantle or prominent coffee table is the perfect location to display your friends in high places.

Table Decor - Centerpieces

Create a Hollywood-worthy centerpiece on an everyday budget with our easy to execute, yet visually stunning, ideas:

• Create tall feather plume centerpieces that reach halfway to the ceiling for a dramatic old Hollywood look. See the Crafts section for details on how to make the centerpieces.
• Glass pillar vases in varying heights, filled alternately with floating white flowers and floating white candles (6 for $3.99). If you already have glass hurricane vases, all you need is a set of discount white floating candles and 12 white flowers that will float (fully opened roses, daisies, dahlias, peonies and mums will do - or use silk flowers that you can reuse later). Scatter white petals along the table to complete the look.
