Throw A Classic Movie Birthday Party!
Movie Theatre Gift Baskets
If you are like most adults in the world, you love movies. In a search for
a somewhat unique theme for the next great birthday bash, maybe you are
feeling at a bit of a loss this year, how about going with a classic
movie theme?
Decorate the party site
in fabulous Hollywood themed decorations. Let guests come dressed as
their favorite stars or characters. Make up a collection of music and
DVDs available to set the "score" for the party.
Movie posters are an
inexpensive way to really bring the movies to life.
Games could include a
version of "movie charades," where guests have to guess the characters
of a movie by gestures or, better, some of the great lines of film
The sky is the limit when
planning a classic movie birthday party. If you are considering going
with one specific movie however, please feel free to select from some of
the excellent themes and ideas below.
Roll out the red carpet...Have a Hollywood Party!
1) The Godfather. I can't think of a more appropriate birthday
party for a good many of the men I know. It's a great classic movie and
the guys will have a great time going over their favorite Godfather
lines all night. Have some great Italian music, Italian food, and plan
for a night of fun. Don't forget to have the movie on hand so that
arguments over infamous lines and old scores can be settled.
2) Casablanca. This is great theme for a birthday party for the one
you love or a romantic celebration such as Valentine's Day or an
anniversary. Have white table clothes, the soundtrack from the movie, an
elegant dinner, and dress in clothes appropriate for the era. This is a
classic movie and will definitely be a night and a party to remember.
3) Star Wars has finally attained status as a true classic and
while it may be more modern than what many have in mind for those of the
thirty something generation it is a great movie to incorporate and will
make for a ton of fun that really is out of this world. Again the
soundtrack and the DVD make lovely companions to a party of this theme
and you can argue over favorite lines and make wagers accordingly. Wage
war with blasters and light sabers and dress as your favorite characters
or assign characters to various guests.
4) Favorite Movie Villains. This is another great theme for a
classic movie party that doesn't get used nearly often enough. I think
we all have one villain that we can identify as a favorite rather it was
one that scared us into spilling our pop or one that we can identify
with to some extent it is great fun to celebrate life by exploring that
little touch of darkness within. It also tells a lot about the people
you call friends.
5) Old Westerns. For those who are looking for the perfect excuse
to start a campfire and sing campy old trail riding music, there is
little like a wild western movie theme to make those dreams a reality.
You could even complete the evening with cowboy karaoke and s'mores.
Just make sure you have plenty of your favorite westerns on hand in case
you forget the lyrics.
Classic movies provide an excellent source of inspiration for all manner
of wonderful ideas for themed birthday parties. Try a John Wayne theme,
World War II theme, Steve McQueen, or Clint Eastwood birthday party
theme.
Let
your imagination run wild and have a great time making the plans and
choosing the decorations for your perfect classic movie birthday party
ideas. You never know when you'll end up striking gold and creating the
perfect night for the special someone you know and love.
