Cinema party: tips for organizing and decorating
Birthday Girl's Profile
Let's start planning the cinema party with the birthday boy's profile. This party theme can be used for both a children's celebration and even a fiftieth party. It is also worth betting on the theme for just a meeting between friends, in a simple and informal party.
Each of these profiles will require different planning and special decoration. For children, it is worth betting on children's films and current characters.
For the elderly, a good idea is to rescue movie classics, remembering big names in the seventh art, as actors and directors.
In a simple meeting, you can even bet on a cinema session, showing the film of your heart.
Party location
How many people do you intend to invite to your cinema party? This is one of the key points to help you choose the location of the party.
For a meeting with few people, in a very informal style, you can have the party at home.
If the idea is to invite a larger number of people, consider a lounge (may be the condominium) or an outdoor location, such as a farm, for example.
The cinema theme can be realized both in open and closed spaces. But it is always good to analyze the weather condition on the date of the party and whether the event will be held during the day or night.
Subthemes
The cinema party can unfold in a multitude of other themes. You can choose, for example, to party based on a movie you love or an actor / actress you admire.
The same goes for directors. How about paying homage to a big name in cinema, mentioning all the films directed by the person?
Another idea is to make the cinema party based on genres. Romance, action, adventure, horror, are several options to choose from.
One more idea: Oscar cinema party. Decorate the whole party with that glamorous and sophisticated atmosphere. Don't forget the red carpet, the figurines and wearing lots of gold.
Invitations
After defining the theme of the cinema party, start designing the invitations. Through the internet you can find templates ready to print, just customize with your information.
Hand out invitations about a month in advance. If the party is very informal, the invitations can even be sent over the internet, by email or messaging applications.
For a bigger party with more guests, prefer the traditional way and hand out the invitations.
Remember to use the same theme chosen for the party decoration and the same color palette in the invitation.
Take the time to distribute the invitations to inform the guests if there is a need to wear special costumes, especially if you intend to have a luxury cinema or Oscar themed party. In this case, it is worth asking your guests to come in evening dress.
Colors
Speaking of colors, the cinema party cannot fail to have a very special palette. Generally, black, red and yellow predominate in this type of decoration, especially when the theme of cinema is approached in a broad way.
But if the idea is to have a cinema party with a more specific theme, then it is interesting to use the colors of the film or the genre represented.
Keep this palette for the entire party, from the decoration to the delicacies that will be served. The cake, the invitation and the souvenirs also need to follow this color palette.
Decoration
The decoration of the cinema party can vary a lot depending on the sub-theme chosen. But let's say you want a very traditional cinema party.
In this case, the tip is to get hold of objects that refer to the seventh art, such as cameras, clapperboards, director's chairs, spotlights, posters, stars, film rolls, queue organizer, among other items.
Also invest in a panel where guests can pose for photos and have fun. You can even offer costumes, glasses, masks and other accessories so that everyone gets even more into the party atmosphere.
Menu
The cinema party should have a menu that matches the sub-theme and the size of the party. For simple and intimate celebrations, it is worth betting on hand-held food, such as pizza, popcorn, hot dogs and other varied snacks.
But if the intention is to have a glamorous party, a dinner is the best option. For starters, serve canapés and other appetizers as beautiful as they are delicious.
To drink, varied drinks that match the theme of the party are the best option.
Cake
The attraction of every party is the cake. For the cinema party, the tip is to bet on cakes with breathtaking effect.
A great option are the grand and luxurious storied cakes. It is also worth betting on American paste cover to create original and surprising details.
In order not to weigh too much on the budget, consider using a fake cake.
Gifts
And at the end, don't forget to offer guests the souvenirs of the cinema party. Bags of candy or buckets of popcorn with mini sodas are a great suggestion.
