I went to a Company Christmas party that had a similar theme. The guests all arrived and walked the red carpet, they had ‘extra’s holllering and screaming with camera and autograph books, (maybe 15 people) behind a barricade. They also had celebrity look alikes arrive with the guests. like austin powers, Angelina Jolie, they stayed in character teh whole time. Also, each table, while in teh movie theme, was decorated in different eras. Like one table was from teh 1920′s and had sequins and flapper era all over it. the 1970′s table had lava lamps, and daisy stickers all over it. very fun stuff!

Invitations perhaps like an Oscar invitation, and the RSVP card could be like a movie premiere ticket. Check out htis website with some good ideas

Invites: Movie Reels: jYou would just black card stock with some gray or white cut outs to look authentic. Lettering can go on the back.

Take polaroids of guests as they come in and go through the paparazzi. Make the bride a tabloid mag scrapbook of her shower. You can have it done up in advance and just add the pics so she can get it that day. Guests can even autograph it.

Games: Trivia from wedding movies, crate a title for the movie about the bride and groom. The bride’s favorite gets a prize.

Food: posh little appetizers, champagne punch, a buffet of movie theater candy for dessert.

You can decorate with movie posters. Either real ones, or ones you do up yourself to look real.

I love the ideas of the interviews/video/slideshow…all awesome!
Also, I would do a red carpet (red paper) to the table that the bride-to-be will be sitting at, maybe drape a piece of it over the table. The other colors, I would stick with silver and white, maybe a touch of black.
For the invites, what about incorporating some red velvet on the front of them? Or glue some fake crystals on the front for a little bling. On the front have it say “a red carpet event…” then put the shower details inside.
Plus I would put red and white roses on the bride-to-be’s table, and then just cheaper white flowers maybe on the others.
And what about asking everyone to wear (at least one piece of -) the same color..white or black, and then have the bridal party all in red? And ask everyone to get dressed up…would make it feel really formal.

You can put the name of an actress or actor on the back of each person as they come in the door. The person wearing the name cannot look at it. They have to ask people questions to try to figure out who they are.

Make a small stage or have each person stand up and give a funny acceptance speach.

Have everyone come wearing gowns or dress like their favorite star.

Use elegant table settings.

Have movie posters around. (you can usually get them from a local movie rental place)

Take pictures as each person arrives and walks down a red carpet. The bride will have these to cherish forever and will be great if everyone is all dressed up.

Have fun!

you should do interviews with the guests like the superstars do. and make the interviews into a wedding video..you could also do a where are they now type of slideshow. that would be cute too.

you should have the shower outside so its like you are always on the carpet

you should have a guy with a camera interview and document it like all the publicity stars get

you should have swanky stuff and luxerys around and maybe a limo to bring you all there
