Hollywood Theme Wedding
Karen Lincoln asked:
Whether you want to re-enact a classic movie era or have an over the top modern day Hollywood theme, the creative opportunities for your wedding celebration are endless. A Hollywood theme wedding can have many different angles including getting in to the character of your favorite movie couple. Or you can actually replicate features of your wedding that are the same as your favorite true life Hollywood movie stars such as a wedding gown or cake style. With a few key ideas and an incredible amount of creative possibilities, your Hollywood theme wedding will be a night for you as well as your guests to remember.
Having a Wedding Hollywood Style
The details of your Hollywood Theme wedding are the most essential touches to pulling off your special day. You can be creative with sending out your invitations such as wording the invitation much like a movie awards program and using a custom designed gold seal on the outer envelope. If you want to get really creative, you can make a video invitation. You can formally snail mail an internet link to your video invitation or you can send it via email. There are secure links that will allow you to restrict access to your video invitation and services that can assist with your film including providing costumes and props.
Music is another part of Hollywood that can be a great feature at your wedding. You can walk down the aisle to romantic movie ballads or dance throughout the night to movie greats. You can be even more elaborate with your Hollywood theme wedding by using props and backdrops to make your wedding site reception look like a movie set. Lighting that is reminiscent of stage lights or even using spotlights to highlight your entrance can be great additions to your Hollywood theme wedding.
Making Guests Part of the Act
Your guests can enjoy being part of the act with era appropriate costumes or the opportunity to dress as their own favorite actors or movie characters. You can also consider assigning guests characters for the night, sitting them at tables with others that are part of the same movies and encouraging costumes. Your guests may also enjoy having their photographs taken with life-size famous cutouts. And of course a red carpet walk into the reception would be expected, complete with easy photo opportunities for your hired photographer and waiting guests.
Awards events are famous for their pricey gift bags for the stars, and while you probably cannot replicate thousands of dollars in freebies, you can create bags for each of your guests, including cosmetic samples and perfumes for ladies and cigars and colognes for the men. You can also include Hollywood related items such as a DVD of an actual movie and gourmet popcorn.
A Hollywood theme wedding can be a creative and memorable way to celebrate your special day. The details of your planning can put your event over the top along with being unique for a wedding celebration. A Hollywood theme wedding will allow you to be as glamorous, funny or dramatic as you wish while providing a relaxed and fun evening for you and your guests.

Red Carpet Party Hollywood Style
Contributed by Gail Leino
Jazz up your party and give it a Hollywood theme. You could choose to “Have a Night at the Oscars” or go for the glam with “Old Hollywood.” Either one has a host of options when choosing decorations and party favors.
Either Hollywood theme can use a slice of movie tape, a round movie reel or statue for invitations. They can be bought at any party planning store. Use red plastic table roll and place it leading up to your front door. For kicks, pay a neighbor kid to stand their and take pictures as guests walk in.
Celebrations which work with the Hollywood theme can include a Golden Anniversary (to match the gold statues), a get together to have fun watching the awards show or any party needing a theme. Make it a requirement on the invitation that everyone dress up in their Hollywood fashion, whether new or old.
Using the Oscar Awards as a theme, get bronze statue favors resembling the award, or even get them personalized with each guest’s name. Use them as place settings, or a way to make introductions to a crowd. Have each person act out a skit or come up with a line from their favorite Oscar winning movie. Everyone gets an Oscar favor as their reward.
If you prefer Old Hollywood, decorations made with film edges and movie reels can be purchased. Decorations to match include wall hangings, plates, cups and napkins. Old movie posters can be bought to add to the theme.
Games to play would include bobbing for Oscar’s and pin the movie reel on the camera. Trivia games can be made up about movies and actors. Give each guest an actor’s name that they have to portray all night. Make it a guessing game and who gets the most – wins!
