Lights, Camera, Action! The vast majority of children’s birthday parties have movie characters as their theme. Regardless of age, all children love watching movies and have a list of favorite characters. That’s why, in this article, we’ll present you with amazing ideas for hosting the Cinema / Hollywood party of your dreams.
Cinema Party Decoration
Decorating a party with this theme has some basic elements that must be present. The basic colors are black, white, red and gold. For a more relaxed party, remove the gold and add other colors of your choice. For a glamorous party, gold is indispensable.
The elements that are also mandatory in a Hollywood party decoration are references to movie tickets, clapper boards, cameras and some awards such as the Oscar and the Golden Globe.
party for two brothers
In this decoration, the colors black, white, red and yellow were used (in replacement of the gold that only appears on the tablecloth), in addition to blue. It’s a party for two brothers who turn 6 and 12, respectively, but it can be adapted for any age.
The welcome panel features the family’s surname as the movie name and the birthdays’ names below. And the happy birthday panel simulates parts of a film reel. Below, other details of the decoration of this party.
A chain made of crepe paper simulates the dividing chains used in cinemas and parties like the Oscars. A red carpet, an indispensable piece at a Cinema party, and the red star with the family’s surname, simulating the walk of fame.
The guests’ tables are decorated with a black tablecloth and a red and white striped spot-cover. The seats are already set with little plates in the form of film rolls.
The center of the table is a box that evokes the decoration, filled with strips of yellow crepe paper and figures of film roll, camera and popcorn. Another tip is to use and abuse signs like the one below that brings the word “film” (movie, in English).
Hollywood party
In this other party, the decoration was more glamorous. This time, gold was used with more intensity, both in common items and in reference items such as film rolls and popcorn buckets.
Below we can see in more detail the elements of this composition, such as the reference to the golden globe in the crystal jar full of golden balls that can be chocolates, candies, round sweets, etc.
Another highlight are the Oreo cookies covered with chocolate and candy, creatively arranged on the table.

The clapper board can be like this with just the normal data or it can be adapted to include the party data such as: birthday boy’s name, date, how old he is, etc.
To heighten the glamorous tone, these super easy-to-make gold star chandeliers have been added.
Another touch of gold is on account of these five-pointed stars, easily found in party item stores or even in a R$1.99 store that has Christmas decorations.
Other Decorating Ideas
The decor below is a candy table, but it’s also a great suggestion for a center table at a Hollywood party. Note that it is a more stripped-down decoration, mentioning black, white, red with touches of blue and gold.
The balloons become wild in this decoration, as it makes it easier to create the set of colors in contrast to the rest of the decoration.
