Movie Time Party

Whether it’s the upcoming Oscar Awards or a special birthday that has you in the mood for a movie themed get-together, here are a few ideas to get your party started. Let’s start with the invitations. Choosing an invitation that matches your party theme lets your guests know what type of party they will be attending.

Movie Night Invitation

Hollywood Invitation

Red Carpet Invitation

Curtain Call Invitation

For any party with a movie theme, trivia games are almost required. You can go with a purchased game or make up your own, just make sure you verify your facts before the party. If you are adventurous, ask your guest to dress as their favorite character from a movie and award prizes for the best costumes.

Make sure you have plenty of snacks for your guests.  If you will be showing a movie at your party, setting up a “concession stand” with popcorn, sodas, and candies packaged like the ones you get at a theater is always fun. And don’t forget the desserts. If you are thinking cake, check out this cute cake, from The Food Network, designed to look like a bag of popcorn. Follow this link  for directions. For a slightly more sophisticated idea, try red velvet cupcakes (think red carpet) decorated with a simple cream cheese icing. Here is the link to a classic recipe from Martha Stewart.

PartyBasics.com also offers a full line of party tableware, including plain and personalized napkins, paper plates, plastic cups and placemats. Have fun planning your party and Enjoy the Show!
