Your guide to throwing a glitzy VIP party

The award season is right around the corner. In fact, just a few short weeks after Christmas there will be the Golden Globes, the Grammys and then the Oscars. These ceremonies will be attended by some of the most famous celebrities on the planet – and the glitz and glam that surrounds them all is enough to make anyone green with envy. Luckily, you can feel like a member of the glitterati just by throwing your own VIP party. With this in mind, here is your guide to holding a star-studded bash for you and your friends.

Invitations

VIPs like to feel special. Due to this, a simple text message or a random call won’t suffice when it comes to telling people about your soiree. On the other hand, you can make an immediate impact if you send out party invitations. Putty Print’s VIP-themed invites should do just the trick. They can even be customised to look unique and include key information about the bash.

Dress code

Don’t forget to let everyone know that they should arrive dressed to the nines. While black tie would be ideal, it might possibly be a bit too unrealistic. As host, it’s your job to make sure that you set the tone by looking drop dead gorgeous in your best outfit.

Food and drink

Champagne is the beverage that everyone will expect on the menu, but if you’re on a budget then any kind of bubbly – such as prosecco or cava – should set the scene quite well too. Hors d'oeuvres are a great snack to serve up, especially since they don’t require plates and look very presentable.

Decorations

A red carpet is a must. It will make your guests feel like they’re on the A-list – even if they’re only walking to your front door! Make sure that there’s someone there to snap some pictures to give the illusion that there are paparazzi present.

The stars are out!

There’s never a bad time to throw a VIP party. After all, who wouldn’t want to feel like a celebrity on any given night of the year? To kick things off right, be sure to choose your invitations from Putty Print. Those invites ordered before 10am will even be dispatched on the same day, so you can start planning the bash from the moment they arrive.
