ACTIVITIES
For real star appeal, hire a real red
carpet or buy thick red fabric; place it
at the entrance of the party and video
the mini movie stars as they arrive.
With their favourite music playing in
the background, interview them on
video, asking questions about who
they are and what movie they are
starring in. This can be played back
later during the party. If you wish, you
could also burn the “red−carpet walk”
onto a DVD for each child to take home.
A lolly hunt is an easy way to
entertain kids. Give the celebrities little
money bags to put their goodies in.
Buy a small scrapbook, a pair of
scissors and some glue for each child.Spread out a bundle of celebrity
gossip magazines on the table so
that they can cut out pictures of all
their favourite stars and stick them
in their own book. Kids can take
the scrapbook home – it makes a
fantastic keepsake. You can also
buy embellishments from craft shops
and stationery stores so the kids
can decorate their masterpieces.
These include buttons, ribbons, lace,
stickers, rubber stamps, wire, beads,
glitter, fabric, coloured paper, paper
tags, charms, metal letters, paper
punches, fancy scissors, as well as
pressed flowers.TABLE DECORATIONS
Make your table look like Hollywood
Boulevard’s Walk of Fame in just a
couple of minutes. Cover the table in
a length of red and gold fabric and
cover with perforated gold−coloured
tissue paper (or use a length of
sparkly fabric). Sprinkle the table
with star confetti. Set the table using
plastic white and gold plates and
matching cutlery, tied with gold
tinsel, and clear plastic champagne
glasses. Cover the chairs in lengths of
white fabric, if you like, and attach
large red or gold bows.
Style the room by hanging up a
length of red and/or gold fabric and
attaching gold or red foil stars to it.
Hang gold foil stars on fishing line
from the ceiling.
To make the placemats, cut out
large stars from gold cardboard.
Then, cut out smaller stars from
cardboard for place cards. Write the
guest’s name on in black marker pen.
