hollywood glamour
Hollywood parties always have plenty of photographers. Use string lights to create a marquee and decorate with gold balloons, then include a few fun props for attendees to pose with.
Photo Booth
Celebrate the guest of honor by printing favorite photos of them with an old-fashioned film reel border. Use to decorate the table or pin up at the party.
Star of the Show
Every red carpet party needs superstar snacks. Serve crackers with black-tie-only cheese wedges (sliced black olives make a tasty bow-tie and buttons), treats from the Hy-Vee Bakery and tuxedo strawberries. Serve flavored popcorn in clear containers letting the bright colors become part of the decor.
Best Supporting Appetizers
For people who dream of being a star, use these ideas to start planning the birthday bash.
Individually wrapped bags of popcorn make easy party favors (and late-night snacks). Tie a clapperboard tag on each one as a convenient thank-you note, or create awards for guests and the star of the show to take home after the party.
Party Favors
Bundle macaron cookies together and tie with ribbon for adorable (and delicious) French party favors.
Tasty Favors
CATERED DESSERTS
Create a dessert and pastry spread with options from the Hy-Vee Bakery, like croissants and macarons, plus colorful candy.

FOOD
SAFETY TIP
Include supplies to keep food hot and cold. Food shouldn’t sit out for more than 2 hours, or 1 hour if the temperature is 90°F or hotter.
BUFFET LABELS
Especially for larger parties, include labels in front of each dish. This can help guests with food allergies or restrictions fill their plates with safe foods, and it’s another opportunity to add cute decorations
to the table.
BIRTHDAY CAKE
For a first birthday, consider adding a smaller smash cake to your Hy-Vee Bakery order for pictures with the birthday
boy or girl.
BALLOONS
Hy-Vee has customizable helium birthday balloon bouquets, individual helium balloons and round latex balloons in a variety of colors you can inflate on your own.
