Create your own red carpet. You can use any red material, and it doesn't have to be very long. Folded or cut to fit your space. However you make it, guests will enjoy walking down a red carpet to enter the party. Take the idea further and lay out the red fabric on your walkway outside and illuminate it with paper lanterns or candles. Ensure guests have enough room to walk and aren't likely to tip over the candles.
Costumes
When you send your invitations, include a request to come in costume. Depending on your theme, invitees can dress as characters from movies or as Hollywood stars. This helps get your guests into the spirit of the night before they arrive.
Pictures with the Stars
Use life-size cardboard cutouts of movie stars to greet guests at the door. An alternative is to make the cutout a reporter, microphone in hand, and have your guests pose for interviews as they arrive. If you're celebrating a particular movie, use cutouts of that movie's characters; for a general Hollywood theme use a backdrop of the Hollywood sign to create this photo opportunity.
Themes
The premiere of a particular movie sets the theme for you. To add something to a general movie premiere-themed party, choose a movie genre for the guests' costumes. Base your party on the golden age of Hollywood and play movie classics such as 'Casablanca' or 'Citizen Kane' in the background. Choose a film noir theme and have your guests come dressed as characters from 'The Maltese Falcon' or 'The Big Sleep.'
Food and Drink
Serve food and drink compatible with the theme. Anything from canapés and champagne to popcorn and soda may be suitable, depending on the night's activities. Classic Hollywood calls for champagne, or sparkling cider, and sophisticated treats. If you plan on watching movies, theater foods get guests in the spirit of the evening.
Activities
Movie-trivia games can be tailored to any theme; present mini-Oscars to the game winners. Movie watching, especially if you encourage your guests to shout out comments and talk back to the characters, can be entertaining as well. If that's your plan, ask guests to bring their favorite movies. If you're hosting the party before a movie premiere, a game of plot-guessing can be fun; after you've seen the movie, give prizes to the people who guessed the outcome.

How to Throw a PreIn Feburary 2016 14,
In Feburary 2016 14,
Decorate the joint with a banner, streamers, balloons or anything else that suits your fancy. Spice up one of the doorways with flowers, streamers or a garland as the designated posing spot for pictures.
Ask your friends for copies of their baby pictures then post them around the room, next to their senior photos, so that everyone can see the before and after. Or don't post the baby pictures and senior pictures together, and see if your friends can pick each other out from the baby photos.
Make appetizers to have on hand as a pre-dinner snack. Spinach dip and chips or stuffed mushrooms are a fancy way to go, or keep it really casual and serve up movie-theatre style popcorn, cookies and punch.
Watch a classic prom-themed movie, such as 'Footloose,' '10 Things I Hate About You' or 'Pretty in Pink.'
Set out disposable cameras, wedding-style, so that friends can go wild taking pictures (instead of obsessing over whether the picture turned out just right, as is the case these days with the ubiquitous digital camera). Tell your friends that you will make copies to hand out to everyone.
All-Out Glamorous Gathering
Invite your friends to bring their families along so that parents and siblings can take pictures and be involved in the pre-prom festivities.
Mark the spot by tying balloons to your mailbox or hanging a banner to welcome prom-goers.
Rent a white tent or a gazebo and set it up in your yard so that friends and couples will have a pretty place to pose. Set flower arrangements on either side of the entrance.
Lay a red carpet down from the street to your house so that your glammed-up friends can have an actual 'Red Carpet' moment.
Hire a professional photographer to capture the experience on film. Your friends can later purchase any photos they would like to have.
Set up card tables on the porch or around the yard to hold punch and hors d'oeuvres as refreshment for your guests.
Hand out party favors to commemorate the event. Give your friends a silver picture frame with the date and event printed within (or, as a pricier alternative, engraved on the outer frame) or a personalized tin of mints.

How to Play The Newlywed GameIn Feburary 2016 08,
In Feburary 2016 08,
Have each couple predict what their final score will be. This information will be used if the game ends in a tie.
Send the wives offstage into the isolation area.
Ask the husbands three questions about their wives, the more off the wall and racy the better. (Example: 'What will your wife say is the movie monster that best describes her mother?') Record the husbands' answers on cue cards and place them in their laps.
Bring the wives back on stage and ask them the same questions, revealing the husbands' answers as the wives give theirs. When a couple's answers match, award them five points.
Take the husbands offstage and ask the wives four questions (three, if time is short), recording their answers on cards.
Bring the husbands back and ask them the same questions; for each match, award the couple 10 points, except for the last question, which is worth 25 points.
Award the couple with the highest score a fabulous prize 'chosen just for you.' In case of a tie, have the tied couples reveal their predictions for the final scores. The couple coming closest without going over wins; if all predictions are over, then the couple coming closest wins.
