Hollywood Movie Centerpieces for that red carpet party.

Hollywood parties are fun with a

variety of ways to present the idea.

You can do oscars, cameras, film strips,

popcorn, clapboards and even the

Hollywood sign itself makes a 

cute centerpiece.

We make a real klieg light out of

foam core that lights up. It can

be a centerpiece by itself or 

part of a larger one like this one

with a large directors chair.

We can make big centerpieces for spots like

the placecard table or sweet/candy table.

Las Vegas/Gambling or Casino themed parties

VEGAS/CASINO/GAMBLING

What a theme 'LOADED' with possibilities!

You can go the LasVegas hotel route for 

centerpieces and sign in boards.

You can go the gambling route and use

casino games as table centerpieces.

You can go with the slot machine route.

Slot machines make cute table centerpieces,

welcome signs or even hold gift cards.

We've made gift card box slot machines with bling for a Sweet 16.

We've also made them for a Monte Carlo casino theme 

and even a wedding.

And...oh yeah....that big iconic sign.

That always works for any variation on

the Vegas theme.

Even 'what happens at ....(wherever)....

stays at ......'

We'll make whatever you would like to make your

party fun and maybe even crazy.

Themed party placecards

Lately we've done some 

unique  and different placecards.

Here's a card stock ice skate we did.

It inserts into a silver foamcore

base with slits for the cards to stand in.

Here's the same idea but with a TV show theme.

The foamcore boards with slits ship easily and

gives you the opportunity to set-up the place

cards ahead of time. Then you can just

carry the board into the party and set it on 

the table top and it's ready to go.

Here's an iTunes (or in this case hTunes)

placecard. The name card itself was not

a separate piece but made to

look like it was. The price of 

$3.16 was the date of the party 

which was March 16.

Of course, tickets of ANY kind are

always a fun idea. You can chose from

one of our previous designs or 

we can design something from

scratch to match your theme.

What can be more custom than

using your own photo for the

placecards. You know that would

be a treasure your guests would keep.

Email us with your ideas and 

we can work up an idea just for you.

Having a Diner Themed party?

With all the cooking shows on cable tv, it

seems like food and diner themes are 

becoming popular.

I think it makes for a fun party.

Here's some place cards we made 

for  Wally's Diner. They looked like guest

checks and we used a font that looked

like handwriting.

They stood in slits cut into a foamcore topper

with a cute waitress....also known 

as the guest of honor.

For kids centerpiece there were elevated 

and low hamburger and fries centerpieces

made from foamcore and a

Milk Shake Bar sign for them.

 Kids had Open Seating in 

the RESERVED area.

There was also a big D.J. sign

and a candle lighting 

centerpiece made in tiers

with coke glasses with candles.

The candles were held in 

place with coke-colored stones that 

made the glasses looked like iced coke.

And, of course, red checks all over.

Loved that touch.

iPhone/iPod Music Centerpieces & magazine covers

I think a good party centerpiece should be personalized.

This one sure was.

Her name and a personalized magazine 

cover design with words related to her favorites

musical groups and fun and playful wording

like on the bottom corner: "Family Reunited and

It Sounds So Loud." 

Kinda fits a party, don't you think?

Here's another view with the colorful

poufs added around the themed items.

Photos and something curvy like

the ear bud wires makes for

fun and movement in the centerpiece.

These iphones were made from

foamcore and over-sized and 

you wouldn't hear anything out of 

those earbuds...but....hey...it's

all in fun.

That's why we like to make

these funky notes too. A bit quirky 

and whimsical. Color is always

oh so important too.

 The only thing missing is a bit of BLING.

Wouldn't some rhinestones around the

microphone be cute?

Maybe next time.
