Hello there,
My last recognition party was Hollywood style. All the staff volunteered to be the waiter and waitress' to all the volunteers. They dressed up like a character in hollywood. We had Grocho Marx, Tina Turner, Elvis. I borrowed lots of Hollywood decorations from the local high school. One of them in the area had a prom with that theme and was glad to lend me the decorations. Had two large oscars made out of manequins painted gold. Had posters that they got from Blockbuster, etc and mounted them on cardboard. They surrounded them with Christmas lights (white_) and they looked like they were lighted all around. We sure had alot of fun. When they arrived we had them on camera and had a monitor inside so everyone inside could see the who was coming in. I was the Joan Rivers on the carpet with a microphone. we had a great time and it didnt cost alot to do. Have fun.
