Party planning can be tricky, especially if you try to do something different year after year. There are, however, a lot of options out there for a truly unique party that is affordable, can be hosted from the comfort of your own home, and suits both children and teenagers. With that in mind, here are four tips on how to throw a perfect film-themed party for your son or daughter.
1. Create a cinema atmosphere
You don't need surround sound and a giant plasma screen to create a cinema atmosphere in your home. Simply darken the room, make sure there are plenty of comfortable seats in front of the TV and there you have it!
Provide a selection of different films for the birthday child and their guests to choose from, and be sure you've checked the appropriate age ratings and warnings on any films before they get started.
2. Serve food and drink
Keep to that cinema theme by offering popcorn as a snack. You can even find cardboard popcorn buckets for a truly authentic feel. As for main meals, hot dogs, burgers, nachos and ice cream are popular cinematic treats and work really well as party food. Serve fizzy drinks in cardboard cups with a straw or, if you have the facilities to do so, milkshakes always go down well.
3. Consider fancy dress
To add an extra touch of fun, ask all guests to come dressed up as their favourite film character. Younger children in particular will love to come to the party in fancy dress. This can work for teenagers, too, by asking them to come dressed up as though they're headed for the Oscars, in all their glitter and glam!
4. Themed invitations
Make sure all guests know what's in store with amazing movie themed party invitations. Add a personal touch to your child's party with high quality party invites to hand out to all their friends.
