Teen Hollywood Theme Party

Ages: Teens

Invitation Ideas:

Make an invitation that looks like a movie clap board by using black and white paper. You can write the party information as follows: Hollywood Production: ________’s birthday, scene (where the party will be), Date. Encourage guests to dress like their favorite actor or actress. You could also make an invitation that looks like a movie ticket.

Decorations:

Think gold and silver and glam. Hang stars from the ceiling. Roll out a red carpet lining the way to the party. Put up movie posters and hang white twinkling lights around them. Use black and silver balloons in groups as centerpieces. Sprinkle gold star confetti around the balloons.

Games & Activities:

What better activity for a Hollywood themed movie is there than watching a movie? Rent a projector and 2 or 3 newer movies so the guests can choose which one to watch.

Have a costume contest and award small prizes or “Oscars” for different things like best look-alike, most creative etc.

Play celebrity charades. Have the kids write the names of their favorite celebrities on small pieces of paper, then put them in a hat. Divide them into two groups, and then have one person pull out a slip of paper and try and get their team to guess the person by acting. Then have someone from the other team do this. This could also be done with movie titles.

Food

Set up a snack bar similar to one you would see at a movie theatre. Have candy bars and boxed candies, popcorn, nachos and soda. If you can rent a popcorn popper that would be a lot of fun and makes for a great decoration. Have a cake that has an Oscar award look alike on it or you could decorate a simple sheet cake to look like a movie poster, ticket or clap board.
