Party Ideas for Kids
Kids love to dress up as grownups and this can give a wonderful chance to dress up as their favorite movie stars. So if your kid is a huge fan of Superman or Cinderella, give them their best birthday party to remember. The invitations of the party can be in the shapes of the clapboard and the text written inside it. You can ask all the kids to dress up in any costumes either of Hollywood movie characters or like any particular movie star. If the party is a birthday party, you can have a cake shaped as the sidewalk star with the name of the birthday person in the center. For the decorations you could put up film canister streamers and balloons with "lights, camera, action" written on them. These can be some great Hollywood themed birthday party ideas and party themes for kids.

Old Hollywood Theme Party Ideas

This can also make an interesting theme for parties. Old Hollywood is considered to be the period between 1930s to early 1940s, where the glamorous movie stars took an entry during the Great Depression and Prohibition. The culture of that era was very different and elegant. You can have this themed party for proms, graduations and sometimes also for reunions if you wish. A lot of thought needs to be put in if you're throwing an old Hollywood themed party. Once you've made all your invitations, you will have to decide on the Hollywood theme party costume ideas where you can be very creative.

Party Ideas for Women
For the women, the costumes will be long, fitted gowns and large angled hats. Their hair can be soft and curled a little longer than a bob cut. Whereas, the men can wear donned smoking jackets, fedoras with black hats that were long on the top. The music can be authentic 1930s with jazz as the best option to go with the mood of the era. You can play tracks like "What a Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong and Billi Holiday's "God Bless the Child". If you want to have a groovier mood to the party, you can include some upbeat songs of that time. The drinks that could possibly compliment the entire theme could be some cocktails like the Manhattan (with bourbon and sweet vermouth), the Sidecar (cognac), Tom Collins (gin) and vodka.

Party Ideas for the Youth
If youngsters don't want to have old Hollywood theme party ideas, they can go for the contemporary ones with costumes of Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible, the Terminator, Resident Evil, Hancock, characters from "The Chronicles of Narnia", Pirates of the Caribbean, Pretty Woman, etc. You can have decorations with film canister streamers and lights on the dance floor. You can hire a photographer to click pictures in famous Hollywood scenes. Once the party is over, you can also distribute Hollywood theme favors, like clapboard key chains, sidewalk stars with the students names engraved on them and many more like these.

Hollywood theme party ideas are a lot of fun to attend as you get to be whoever you like. So, may it be Marilyn Monroe or James Bond, you have to be dressed to kill if you're a movie star (at least for the night)!
