Hollywood Sleepover Party 7yr

Honorable Mention

For my daughter's 7th birthday we threw her a Hollywood bash!  For the invites, I used a nighttime photo of the lit up Hollywood" sign. On that photo I typed: "Presenting a Hollywood Sleepover Party Starring..."  then my daughter's name address.  Then the words "Seating is limited. Please RSVP" and our phone number.  I had them printed as 5x7 photos and they looked great!  Decorations - Outside: I bought 4 red plastic tableclothes and I cut them up vertically to make a "red carpet." The carpet went from our driveway to the front door - we have a long walkway there. I used duct tape to tape them down. Inside:  I downloaded the movie posters for about 40 different movies - I made sure they were all kid friendly and appropriate. We used High School Musical Aquamarine The Parent Trap etc. I printed these out in color on 8.5 by 11 paper - then I framed each one with different colored construction paper. We put these all over the walls of our home. It looked great! We also used black hot pink and silver streamers and also banners saying "Hollywood" and "Awards Night" - plus silver and gold stars on the walls. I took a large trophy of my daughter's and on it I added a little tag that said "Best Actress - Kristine McKenzie." I put this on a table right inside our front door - and I had a glamour photo of my daughter next to the trophy.   Once the guests arrived each girl was escorted to the "dressing room" - our finished basement.  Down there each girl dressed up in a pettiskirt (if you do not know what these are - they are amazing full tutu type skirts. Check for them on ebay) and boas hats gloves etc.  We had a whole assortment of things to choose from. Myself and a friend did each child's makeup and hair.    After that - I am a photographer with a home studio - so I took each child's photo in their outfit on a white background - and we really hammed it up. Then I took a photo of all of the girls together.    Okay - now we brought the girls upstairs and took them out the back door. We brought them around to the front of the house - it's now dark outside. We turned on all our outside lights and had set up a little microphone on our porch. I had two friends with cameras acting as "paparazzi" as each girl walked up the red carpet.  When the girl reached the door - I did a little interview with her using the microphone saying "Here's Sarah! You look great tonight! Who are you wearing??  Can you tell us if the rumors are true that your new movie will be out soon!?  What is it about? And are you really dating Zac Efron!?" Just funny things like that - each girl got different questions - and it was so cute to hear the girls give their answers. The other girls were waiting in line for their turn down the carpet and they could all hear.  But my husband videotaped the whole thing so the girls could watch it together later - like an awards show entrance.  Meanwhile my friends were snapping photos and yelling things like "Sarah - give us a smile! Wave to your fans!"    Once each girl had her turn down the carpet - we came back in and opened presents.  We also had pizza and then cookie cake - the cookie was decorated with hot pink and purple stars. Each girl received her own plastic champagne flute to drink with. We filled them with sparkling grape juice. They got to take those home.    Then we set up the video so the girls could see their red carpet walk and interviews!  They thought that was very fun and also funny too. Afterwards we had a little awards ceremony.  I had little gold statuettes that looked like Emmy awards - got these from Oriental Trading Company. On the base of each statue I had the name of each girl - and the name of the award she had won -"prettiest smile trend setter Best Dressed Drama Queen etc..."  We had a little ceremony where each girl was given her award.   After that the girls rolled out their sleeping bags and changed into their PJ's for the night. They all piled into our family room to watch a movie of my daughter's choice - she selected Aquamarine.  We served popcorn in red and white movie popcorn containers.    The next morning each girl took home a goody bag with her award her souvenir champagne flute some high end chocolate a few hair sparkies and her framed glamour photo.    "
