Have a photographer available to take plenty of pictures to capture the magic of the evening. Create a photo backdrop, and encourage all the guests to pose and "glam it up". Makes great faovrs.

Place disposable cameras on each table for your guests' perspective and a ton of great photos!

Play movie-related trivia. If you are having a sit-down dinner, roll a sheet of trivia questions, and tie it with Ribbon to match your colors and set at each place setting. If you are serving food buffet style, put them in a top hat and let guests play during the evening. Provide a list of movies and movie stars; have guests match as many actors/actresses with the films they starred in, or have them try to match movie titles with the year the movie was released. Award Hollywood Party Favors as prizes.

Another "Hollywood" trivia game is to see who can name the most films that have won an Academy Award™ for "Best Picture".   This isn't as easy as one would think!

Play a Hollywood variation of 20-Questions. As each guest arrives, pin a Die-Cut Star on his or her back. Each star should contain the name of a different Hollywood star (past or present). Each guest must find out who they are for the evening by asking only "yes" and "no" questions of the other guests. One question per guest. This game is a great ice breaker and encourages everyone to mingle and talk to each other.

If you are hosting your party to recognize one of the glamorous movie or television awards shows, build the viewing of the broadcast into your party. Newspapers or entertainment periodicals will provide a complete listing of the nominees and the categories in which they are nominated to win in the days leading up to the show. Make one copy of the list for each guest, and prior to the start of the show, ask each guest to give their best guesses on who will win what. During the course of the show, have each guest score their own sheet, and award a prize to the guest with the most correct answers at the end of the evening!
