Decor
As usual, the easiest way to transform a room for the holiday is with balloons. For this theme, you should choose stars and round balls. By the way, before ordering balloons, you should decide on the color scheme. In this case, you should choose a combination: black, white, gold or black, white and red.

A huge selection of foil balls allows you to find them even in the form of firecrackers, films and cameras.
The room can also be decorated with garlands. You can buy ready-made streamers or make your own garland of stars, film or flags with congratulations.

The photo zone has become an integral part of the holiday. For a Hollywood theme, you can hang an Oscar banner and lay out a red carpet at the entrance to the room where the fun will take place. You can also place movie cameras made of cardboard, film reels and numbering clappers.

Menu, serving
At color holidays, any menu is appropriate, but it is advisable to fit the table decor into the overall style. And red color for decorating dishes is a real gift! Many products serve as decoration in themselves: tomatoes and sauces made from them, sweet peppers, red fish and caviar, strawberries, cherries, grapes, pomegranates, watermelons.
It’s even easier with desserts - mastic, sprinkles and glaze will help fit most of the goodies. Puff biscuits, cakes, cookies, jellies, fruit ice. And also jams and confitures, dragees, marmalade, mousses, berry desserts, ice cream. Themed drinks: wine, punch, juices, cocktails. Of course, there is no need to limit guests - stylized wine glasses or glasses will “disguise” any drinks.
There is no need to design the entire menu in red only. On the contrary, in combination with other shades the treats will look more appetizing. The same applies to serving - a tablecloth, dishes and food of the same tone will blend into an indistinct spot, so it is better to alternate shades.
If the holiday is informal, disposable tableware is appropriate - red cups
for parties (popular Party Cups), the same plates, cocktail straws. Next to the glasses, leave black markers and a sign “Sign me, otherwise I’ll get lost!” or a bunch of stickers (so guests can mark their cup).
Nuts, crackers, chips, and corn pops can be served in popcorn boxes or party hats. Put clown noses on the cans, glue on lips and eyes, or draw faces. Make food name cards and mini toppers. It is better to re-stick the labels on bottles of drinks so that they do not fall out of the overall picture .
If this is a high-level party, decorate glass/porcelain - ribbons on the stems of glasses, rhinestones, flowers or acrylic patterns along the edge of single-color plates. Scatter petals, ring napkins, place candles, bouquets of flowers or decorative feathers.
Table setting
It’s difficult, but it’s possible to buy disposable tableware that matches the theme of the party. You don't have to look for glasses with movie cameras or plates with the Holliwood logo; black dishes with gold stars will do just fine.

Add some appropriate “cinematic” elements. For example, make napkin rings from film and place small numbering crackers. If the party is large and you plan to seat the guests at your own discretion, then firecrackers are perfect as signs for guests.

Suits
Red clothes
for a party there is an endless choice of styles and styles.
For example, for an informal party in a club, jeans and a T-shirt of a suitable color. For a birthday party in a restaurant/cafe, it is more appropriate to wear a red dress. It is advisable to clarify the dress code and other nuances, not limiting yourself to indicating the tone (the topic is too flexible, without details, everyone will understand in their own way).
A solid color of clothing, especially if it matches the decor, can be boring. More interesting are combined fabric options, accessories in a contrasting shade: belt, hat, shoes, handbag, jewelry in a color different from the outfit. Gold, black, silver, and white look great on a ruby background.
For men, a bowtie, tie, neckerchief, or flower on the lapel will help out in a suitable tone. It’s expensive to buy a suit for one party, but you can get by with buying a shirt if the occasion is special.
When dressing for a red-style party is the last thing (you don’t want to burden yourself, the theme was decided at the last moment), prepare accessories for the guests . It all depends on the format of the holiday: boas, hats and boutonnieres or, for example, paper beads made of hearts, caps and baseball caps.
Ideas for a mischievous RED PARTY: Little Red Riding Hood, Mickey Mouse, Dracula and the demonesses, vampires, Queen of Hearts, Hellboy, cheerleaders. Accessories for photos: hearts, hats, glasses, sponges on stick holders, large frames and lollipops, bright wigs.
Desserts and snacks
At parties, desserts and appetizers will be on the table all day long. If you decide to have a party in black and gold colors, then you will have to work hard on the desserts, they will turn out exquisite.

Decor
Conveying your mood with color is easy! Any shade evokes certain emotions that are similar for most people. A bright red party is full of passion, fire and energy . Decisive scarlet excites, forcing you to act here and now. The languid burgundy fascinates, like the sensual movements of a Spanish dancer. Popular color combinations in decoration:
- red and white in any ratio . An interesting option is a white background, catchy ruby accents and guests in red suits (the clothes will not blend in with the decor, a common choice for weddings and bachelorette parties);
- red and black are a piquant, even erotic tandem, especially if you add lace to the design . Can be diluted with white - a contrasting tenacious trio;
- red, black, gold or silver - suitable for a high-level party, social event in a restaurant;
- in combination with pink, yellow or blue, the color of love will sparkle with new colors ! A very unusual, but bright, memorable option.
If you are planning a noisy scenario, fiery dances and fun competitions until the morning, use a colorful print in the design - polka dots, stripes, checks and other geometric patterns.
A home party in a red style is not the best option (of course, if the interior does not match the idea) . The best solution would be to organize a holiday outdoors or rent a hall decorated in white, scarlet, black or dark brown. We offer ideas for decorating a red party that will help saturate the space with the chosen color:
- drapery - curtains, bedspreads, chair covers . You can simply sew square pillows or in the shape of lips or hearts. Tie flirty bows on chairs, and baste them to curtains and bedspreads (if the budget does not include replacing unsuitable textiles);
- light sources - decorate chandeliers with bows or hide them behind paper shades . Replace table lamp shades. Place red or regular candles in containers of a suitable color. Or are electric garlands, lava lamps, or luminous decor more suitable for you?
Play with contrast so that a party in red does not cause boredom with the monotony of decisions. For example, ruby branches in white vases and white branches in ruby ones.
- paper garlands with sagging beads and vertical ones raining down from the ceiling . Triangles, those same heart sponges, round ones. It’s easier to order this decor online, because... cutting out hundreds of fragments takes a lot of time;
- Circular fans, lanterns, pompoms from corrugated paper are easy to make with your own hands . Decorate the walls, hang it on a fishing line from the ceiling. In the center of the fans you can glue letters that form a congratulatory inscription for your birthday. Assemble compositions from pompoms of different sizes;
- balloons will enhance the holiday atmosphere - an arch at the entrance, “bouquets” in the corners, helium balloons under the ceiling, scattered on the floor . Balls in balls (many small ones inside a large transparent one) and glowing balls with diodes look unusual;
For a red-style birthday party organized for a girl, add flowers, berries, and fruits to the interior. In addition to the expected bouquets and compositions, you can buy fabric/paper with drawings, hang delicious photos, toys or pictures (cherries, strawberries, etc.).
- Large wall decorations will add dynamics . They can be easily made from thick cardboard by gluing a drawing/print on top. A visual message that creates the right mood: birds, butterflies, ladybugs, luxurious flamenco dancers or half-naked go-go girls - whichever suits your format best;
- clothes - unexpected but stylish decor . At a youth party there are garlands of lace lingerie, garters, and stockings. Or 2-3 mannequins in chic outfits, “greeting” guests.
It is advisable that the invitation to the party in red reflects the atmosphere of the holiday - use the selected shades, attributes, and decorative elements. This will make it easier for guests to understand the scope of the upcoming event.
If you are attracted not only by the shade, but want to add some idea, a red party can evolve into a pioneer, floral, Spanish, gypsy, Chinese, Moulin Rouge or Oscar party. Our website has detailed articles about each of these topics.
