Hollywood Party Invitations
Make invitations for your Hollywood party look like movie tickets or tickets for a special event on gold paper. To make movie ticket invitations, use a red, gold, and black color theme on a 3 inch by 6 inch piece of paper. This way it will have movie ticket proportions, but be big enough for your guests to read all the needed information. To make ticket invitations for a special occasion, use gold shiny 4 inch by 5 inch paper and black calligraphy writing. Sending out these special invitations will help set the mood for your special event.
