Hollywood DecoratingDecorating for a Hollywood theme bridal shower is fun and surprisingly simple! Here are some fun ideas to try Make some gold starts for the floor! This can either be done ahead of time by the host, or it can be turned into a game where each guest makes a handprint on her own gold-star. The stars, which can be cut out of Bristol board and then decorated with gold glitter, can be taped on the floor of a hallway or entrance. A red carpet entrance is another fabulous way to add décor to your floor! Other decorations might include old movie posters, or framed movie images. To really bring your theme to life, play some old black and white movies on the TV in the background, with the sound turned off. This will really add a unique ambiance to your event. You can also purchase a wide variety of decorations online, just search the major online party decoration retailers, or even eBay. Remember – you want lots of sparkle and glitz to get that true Hollywood feel. Sprinkle the table with silver glitter and choose gorgeous red roses as your flower. If possible, purchase some faux Hollywood street signs. To get guests in the mood for a posh event, have some props on hand, such as a few feather boas! Other items you can use include:
- Martini glasses
- Film reels
- Gold stars
- Walk of fame stars
- Use film as streamers
- Film canisters
- Directors chairs
- Champagne bottles
- Sunglasses

Hollywood Theme Bridal Shower Cake You’ll need a Hollywood cake to really set the tone! For one of the most cost-effective and memorable cakes, simply head to your local grocery store bakery. Bring along a black and white picture of a Hollywood starlet, such as Katharine Hepburn or Marilyn Monroe. The baker will be able to create a cake featuring a blown-up image of your photo on the top! Another fun thing to do is to have your cake shaped like one of the items listed above.
Hollywood Games This is the perfect time to play the game where each guest has a Hollywood name taped to their back or their forehead. They must mingle with guests and ask questions to determine who they are! Play a game of charades with a focus on Hollywood. Play a popular game from an old school television show, like catch phrase. Nowadays there are tons of games centered around either certain tv shows, movies or entertainment. Find one of these games (they're usually around $20-$30) and get everyone playing for fabulous prizes! On your invitations, tell each guest to come as a specific celebrity, and then at the event have other guests guess who each person is dressed up as. The person who gets the most answers right wins!
