Looking for a great theme for your adult party that will excite your friends and family, and give them plenty of opportunity to get dressed up?

Themes don't come more glitzy, glamorous or star-studded than Hollywood Oscars night.

With Oscar nominations nearly upon us and the big night in Los Angeles in February, why not start planning your party now and making the most of the time ahead? Your guests will get a thrill from choosing who (or what - ET anyone?) they are going to come as.

And don’t worry about your Hollywood-style invitations – we at Putty Print have got it all in hand with lots of styles to choose from or to customise to your own tastes.

Here are some ideas for creating the best Hollywood-themed party possible.

You could be strict and limit your theme to Hollywood in the 1930s, say, to keep fancy dress choices tight – for that decade you could think Clark Gable and Vivienne Leigh in Gone With The Wind, Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in Top Hat, Laurel and Hardy, or Judy Garland as Dorothy from Wizard of Oz and any of her sidekicks.

The 1950s could provide the opportunity to become such icons as James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley or Marlon Brando.

Or what about the era of the big blockbusters, the 1970s? Think Paul Newman and Robert Redford in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid or The Sting, or how about John Travolta and Olivia Newton John in Grease?

You could even limit the party theme to the James Bond movies. Or Star Wars. There is so much potential.

You may want to bring things right up to date and choose movies from now. Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible? Jennifer Lawrence in the Hunger Games? Or the cast of the Harry Potter films?

For a really quirky party, make the theme cartoon characters from Hollywood. Be prepared for Mickey and Minnie Mouse, Woody from Toy Story and Elsa from Frozen to be dipping into your party food.

Or you could be as up to date as possible and take a look at what films from this year are likely to be the hot tips at the Oscars ceremony.

Why not lay a red carpet outside your property for when your guests arrive, and have an eager ‘paparazzo’ waiting to snap them in their costume?

You could hand out little Oscar statuettes and invite guests to make their own acceptance speeches.
