How to throw a Breakfast at Tiffany's party

If you absolutely love the book, movie or Audrey Hepburn in general, you will have a blast throwing a Breakfast at Tiffany's party.

Things You'll Need

• anything and everything Tiffany Blue
• Moon River by Henry Mancini
• Posters and pictures of Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Instructions

1. First hunt down several movie posters. The most important one is the classic Breakfast at Tiffany's movie cover photo. These can be found at a number of places. You can check eBay, music stores that sell posters and online poster stores (see links below). Put these up throughout the room where you will be holding the party.

2. Find table cloths in Tiffany Blue and white or you can go with a black and white classic theme for the table cloths. If you can find Tiffany Blue table cloths use a large white ribbon to run down the middle as a table runner and then across that ribbon to give the feel of a wrapped Tiffany's box.

3. Get the movie soundtrack and play it during the party. "Moon River" is a must.

4. Decorate the tables with Tiffany Blue jelly beans, fake diamond rings and necklaces and white sleeping masks with fake eyelashes glued to the front. Cheap fake diamond rings and necklaces can be found at Oriental Trading Co. (see links below). Sleeping masks can be found at some dollar stores or check eBay for buying cheap ones in bulk. Set out a few martini shakers on the tables also.

5. Serve martinis or virgin martinis for those who don't drink. Don't forget the olives.

6. You can play simple games like musical chairs to the soundtrack music, Twister or pin the tail on Cat. Give out special edition Breakfast at Tiffany's dvds or a copy of Truman Capote's book as prizes.

7. The invitations can be made with black cardstock with a white ribbon tied around them or with Tiffany blue cardstock with ribbon tied around them like boxes. Or make a white on black Holly Golightly silhouette on the invitation for another do-it-yourself idea.

8. Have the women dress up by wearing a little black dress and hand out fake tiaras (also can be found at Oriental Trading Co.). The guys can wear suits and bow ties if you want it to be really authentic.
