Roll out the red carpet! How would you like to turn your next event into a fabulous Hollywood premiere? If you own a cinema, the idea has probably occurred to you, but anyone can use this fun idea to add some magic to any event.

Of course, you will want a red carpet for your guests to trod upon. Velvet-covered barriers add a nice touch, and for a real treat, hire photographers to play the part of the paparazzi and capture your guests on film as they enter.

Inside, serve canapes, crudites, and other small hors d’oeuvres that can be eaten daintily. Serve champagne if you can. Martinis are sure to go over well, as will any sweet drink with fruit, umbrellas, and other decorations.

If possible, you can set up some video monitors or screens and play classic films. Movie trivia makes a wonderful party game. Or, make it fancy dress and ask your guests to come as their favourite stars.

The possibilities are endless! Hollywood is about making magic. Let the creativity flow and make a little magic of your own.
