Film Night: Celebrate Your Bachelorette

Have you ever had a budding desire to star in a film? Well, now you can! By throwing a film-inspired bachelorette party, with all the glitz and glamour of the big screen, and with your besties playing the roles of their favourite characters! Whether you’re channelling Hollywood elegance or diving into a specific movie theme, here are some ideas to bring your cinematic celebration to life!

Pick a Movie Theme

There are so many movie themes to choose from for your film-inspired bachelorette party. Do you want to exude the elegance of Audrey Hepburn in “Breakfast at Tiffany’s: or Marilyn Monroe’s “Some Like It Hot”, evoking old Hollywood glamour? Or are rom coms like “Notting Hill”, “Pretty Woman” When Harry Met Sally” more up your alley? You can also do action and adventure themes and dress up as a spy or do the classic chick flicks inspired by the vibes of “Legally Blonde,” “Sex and the City,” or “Clueless”. The options really are endless, so let your imagination go wild!

Dress Like the Star You Are

Once you have picked your movie for your film-inspired bachelorette party, it’s now time to play the part by dressing up as your favourite character. If you are going to take the classic Hollywood route of Marilyn Monroe’s or Audrey Hepburn’s, you can’t not wear Marilyn’s infamous white dress. The same goes for Audrey’s iconic little black dress designed by Hubert de Givenchy, which she wore in the film’s opening scene while gazing into the Tiffany & Co. store window. The dress was elegantly paired with a sparkling pearl brooch, long black gloves, oversized sunglasses, and a classic French twist hairstyle adorned with a small tiara. This look became one of the most famous fashion moments in cinematic history. If you are going for a superheroes and villains movie-themed night, go all out with a Wonder Woman, Catwoman, or Harley Quinn outfit or villains Hela or Proxima Midnight from the Marvel Universe. If you have a fantasy and fairytales theme in mind, embrace the magic with costumes inspired by “Harry Potter,””Alice in Wonderland,” or “The Wizard of Oz”. And if a musical movie night is on the agenda, dress as characters from “Grease,” “Mamma Mia!” or “Chicago“ for a show-stopping look.

Set the Scene

To help create your film-inspired bachelorette party, you need to set the scene for your magical movie night, which includes some decorating. Use film reels, director’s chairs, themed props, a backdrop of a “Hollywood Premiere” photo booth or a set inspired by your chosen movie, and lighting like string lights and candles. Since you’re all dressed up as your favourite star, you want to create long-lasting memories of your shining moment! So, it’s time to roll out the red carpet and have a photo backdrop for you and your besties to pose like stars they are. It’s simple to do —lay down a plush red carpet at the entrance to give guests a VIP welcome. Then, set up a Step-and-Repeat Backdrop, where guests can pose for photos like celebrities, organise some velvet ropes, illuminate the entrance with dramatic lighting, hire a photographer, or set up a DIY photo booth with flash cameras for a fun celebrity experience.

Sip Movie-themed Cocktails & Eat Tasty Bites

A movie magic film-inspired hens party deserves cocktails that bring cinematic flair to the celebration! There’s a host you can choose from like The Bond Martini (“James Bond“) the classic shaken-not-stirred vodka martini, The Black Widow Cocktail (“Marvel”), a dark berry-infused drink with a mysterious twist or The Sleepy Hollow Cocktail (“Sleepy Hollow”) which is a bewitching concoction inspired by the hauntingly atmospheric film, evoking the eerie charm of the movie’s setting. And, adding the enduring favourite among NYC ladies, ‘Sex and the City’ Cosmopolitan, which is a sophisticated blend of vodka, cranberry juice, Cointreau, and lime juice, is perfect for your movie-themed night. When it comes to food, think Hollywood snacks such as popcorn bars, themed cupcakes, and champagne towers. Or you could do a movie-themed dinner, basing the menu on a famous film.

Activities & Entertainment

When it comes to your movie-themed bash, you will obviously need to set up an outdoor or indoor cinema to watch your chosen film. To add fun to the occasion, you can host your DIY Oscar Awards, where you hand out mini-Oscar trophies like ‘Best Actress” or “Best Supporting Actress.” And playing trivia and games that test your besties on famous quotes or iconic movie moments is another fun element to add.

Your film-inspired bachelorette party will be amazing, creating long-lasting memories for years to come, so enjoy every moment of it and shine like the star you are!
