People blush with shame, but this color is the most shameless of the entire spectrum! Standing out immodestly against any background, it loudly declares itself, easily suppressing other shades. But at the same time he knows how to be different. For example, a birthday party in red can be both stylish and elegant, and crazy fun.

Decor

Conveying your mood with color is easy! Any shade evokes certain emotions that are similar for most people. Bright red party full of passion, fire and energy. Decisive scarlet excites, forcing you to act here and now. The languid burgundy is mesmerizing, like the sensual movements of a Spanish dancer. Popular color combinations in decoration:

red and white in any ratio. An interesting option is a white background, catchy ruby accents and guests in red suits (the clothes will not blend in with the decor, a common choice for weddings and bachelorette parties);

red and black - a piquant, even erotic tandem, especially if you add lace to the design. Can be diluted with white - a contrasting tenacious trio;

red, black, gold or silver - suitable for a party top level, social event in a restaurant;

in combination with pink, yellow or blue, the color of love will sparkle with new colors! A very unusual, but bright, memorable option.

If you are planning a noisy scenario, fiery dancing and fun competitions until the morning, use a colorful print in your design - polka dots, stripes, checks, etc. geometric patterns.

A red-themed house party is not the best good option(of course, if the interior does not match the idea). The best solution will organize a holiday in nature or rent a hall decorated in white, scarlet, black or dark brown. We offer ideas for decorating a red party that will help saturate the space with the chosen color:

drapery – curtains, bedspreads, chair covers. You can simply sew square pillows or in the shape of lips or hearts. Tie flirty bows on chairs, and baste them to curtains and bedspreads (if the budget does not include replacing unsuitable textiles);

light sources - decorate chandeliers with bows or hide them behind paper lampshades . Replace lampshades table lamps. Place red or regular candles in containers of a suitable color. Or are you better suited electric garlands, lava lamps, glowing decor?

Play with contrast so that a party in red does not cause boredom with the monotony of decisions. For example, ruby branches in white vases and white branches in ruby ones.

paper garlands with sagging beads and vertical ones raining down from the ceiling. Triangles, those same heart sponges, round ones. It’s easier to order this decor online, because... cutting out hundreds of fragments takes a lot of time;

circular fans, lanterns, pompoms made of corrugated paper easy to do with your own hands. Decorate the walls, hang it on a fishing line from the ceiling. In the center of the fans you can glue letters that form a congratulatory inscription for your birthday. From pompoms different sizes collect compositions;

Balloons will enhance the holiday atmosphere - an arch at the entrance, “bouquets” in the corners, helium flowers under the ceiling, scattered on the floor. Balls in balls (many small ones inside a large transparent one) and glowing balls with diodes look unusual;

For a red-style birthday party organized for a girl, add flowers, berries, and fruits to the interior. In addition to the expected bouquets and compositions, you can buy fabric/paper with drawings, hang delicious photos, toys or pictures (cherries, strawberries, etc.).

large wall decorations will add dynamics. They can be easily made from thick cardboard by gluing a drawing/print on top. Visual message that creates the right mood: birds, butterflies, ladybugs, luxurious flamenco dancers or half-naked go-go girls - whichever suits your format best;

clothes - unexpected, but stylish decor . At a youth party there are garlands of lace lingerie, garters, and stockings. Or 2-3 mannequins in chic outfits, “greeting” guests.

It is advisable that the invitation to the party in red reflects the atmosphere of the holiday - use the selected shades, attributes, and decorative elements. This will make it easier for guests to understand the scope of the upcoming event.

If you are attracted not only by the shade, but want to add some idea, a red party can evolve into a pioneer, floral, Spanish, gypsy, Chinese, or party style. On our website there is detailed articles about each of the listed topics.

Suits

Red cloth for a party there is an endless choice of styles and styles. For example, for an informal party in a club, jeans and suitable color t-shirt. For a birthday party in a restaurant/cafe, it is more appropriate to wear a red dress. It is advisable to clarify the dress code and other nuances, not limited to indicating the tone(the topic is too flexible, without details, everyone will understand in their own way).

A solid color of clothing, especially if it matches the decor, can be boring. More interesting combined options fabrics, accessories contrasting shade: belt, hat, shoes, handbag, jewelry of a different color from the outfit. Gold, black, silver, and white look great on a ruby background.

For men, a bowtie, tie, neckerchief, or flower on the lapel will help out in a suitable tone. It’s expensive to buy a suit for one party, but you can get by with buying a shirt if the occasion is special.

When dressing for a red-style party is the last thing (you don’t want to burden yourself, the theme was decided at the last moment), prepare accessories for the guests. It all depends on the format of the holiday: boas, hats and boutonnieres or, for example, paper beads made of hearts, caps and baseball caps.

Ideas for a mischievous RED PARTY: Little Red Riding Hood, Mickey Mouse, Dracula and the demonesses, vampires, Queen of Hearts, Hellboy, cheerleaders. Accessories for photos: hearts, hats, glasses, sponges on stick holders, large frames and lollipops, bright wigs.

Menu, serving

At colored holidays, any menu is appropriate, but it is advisable to fit the table decor into general style. And red color for decorating dishes is a real gift! Many products serve as decorations in themselves: tomatoes and sauces made from them, Bell pepper, red fish and caviar, strawberries, cherries, grapes, pomegranates, watermelons.

It’s even easier with desserts - mastic, sprinkles and glaze will help fit most of the goodies. Puff biscuits, cakes, cookies, jellies, fruit ice. And also jams and confitures, dragees, marmalade, mousses, berry desserts, ice cream. Themed drinks: wine, punch, juices, cocktails. Of course, there is no need to limit guests - stylized wine glasses or glasses will “disguise” any drinks.

There is no need to design the entire menu in red only. On the contrary, in combination with other shades the treats will look more appetizing. The same applies to serving - a tablecloth, dishes and food of the same tone will blend into an indistinct spot, so it is better to alternate shades.

If the holiday is informal, it is appropriate disposable tableware – red cups for parties (popular Party Cups), the same plates, cocktail straws. Next to the glasses, leave black markers and a sign “Sign me, otherwise I’ll get lost!” or a bunch of stickers (so guests can mark their cup).

Nuts, crackers, chips, and corn pops can be served in popcorn boxes or party hats. Put clown noses on the cans, glue on lips and eyes, or draw faces. Make food name cards and mini toppers. It is better to re-glue the labels on bottles of drinks so that they do not fall out of the overall picture.

If this is a high-level party, decorate glass/porcelain - ribbons on the stems of glasses, rhinestones, flowers or acrylic patterns along the edges of single-color plates. Scatter petals, ring napkins, place candles, bouquets of flowers or decorative feathers.

Entertainment

The scenario of the red party will include any competitions according to the occasion and customs of the company. And so that the next entertainment does not disturb general idea, enough props in thematic colors: burgundy masks for playing mafia, cards with a scarlet back, etc. We offer games and competitions that will fit into the scenario of a noisy party for a friendly group.

Quiz

The presenter reads out the words, the guests must name the thematic object-association. In teams or every man for himself. Examples:

drug - answer "poppy"
the planet Mars
feeling - love
construction - brick
stop - traffic light
party - communists
vampire - cloak, blood
Holland - tulip.

Crazy Queen

Two teams, two sheets of whatman paper with a painted rose bush (unpainted silhouette), paints/markers. The whole team needs to repaint their white roses red before their rivals (Alice in Wonderland).

Fooled

Competition for an active scenario, for a red party in a spacious room/outdoors. Give everyone long ShDM balls with a large cap on them (paper cones, since regular holiday ones will fall off - they are too small). The goal is to put a cap on any guest and prevent others from fooling themselves. You cannot push, grab others, or pick up the cap.

Lovely affairs

Make a large heart-shaped target out of foam plastic and glue thin paper on top with hearts of different sizes drawn inside. Write the points inside each heart (the smaller the heart, the more points for hitting). For a miss, deduct points. Play until the winner reaches a predetermined number of points.

Party games and competitions using red Party Cups:

Beer Pong is a drinking game of accuracy. Glasses are placed like in billiards, a ping-pong ball is thrown across the table, trying to get into the opponent’s container;

Flip-Cap is another one alcohol competition. You need to drink beer, put the glass on the edge and click on the bottom so that it turns over and stands on the table. Full rules for Flip-Cap and Beer Pong are online, fun and very emotional!

In teams we build a tower, whose one is higher. But here’s the problem - glasses are not given out just like that, they need to be exchanged with the host for items of clothing/accessories (1 to 1);

knock down the pyramid with a plush ball. Too easy? Blindfold the player, spin him around, and place him facing the target. You can throw coins into a long row of glasses (the further you stand, the more points you get for hitting them);

a bucket of water, one glass floats on the surface (pour water so that it is partially submerged), the second is passed around by guests in a circle. Everyone pours some water into the glass, scooping it from the same bucket. Whoever drowns is eliminated or performs a forfeit.

Spicy competitions:

burst bodies (couple) three balloons three different ways(i.e. changing poses) - very funny, but only for close company;

be the fastest to rip off all the heart stickers from your boyfriend/friend with your lips;

prank - find your girlfriend by touch while blindfolded. You can only feel the breasts, but there is a surprise - air balloons!

If you are going to celebrate a birthday, come up with a beautiful ending to the red party scenario: throw petals at the birthday girl, release a lantern with a wish into the sky, or let the guests take turns toasting and giving a rose for a huge communal bouquet.

Angels and Demons, Yin and Yang, Good and Evil - all this is a game of contrasts that will become the basis black and white party . This style is perfect for a bachelorette party, New Year or Birthday. Tips for organizing holiday - further.

Location

This is the same case when the party venue can be any enclosed space: city apartment, Vacation home, cafe, restaurant and even a garage.

To decorate the interior you will need fabrics, paper balloons and balloons in black and white colors. White candles in black candlesticks or black ones in silver ones look elegant, as well as bouquets of fresh flowers placed on tables and chests of drawers.

You need to lay a snow-white tablecloth on the table, drape the chairs with black fabric and decorate the backs with luxurious bows, or put dark covers on them with a light print.

You can take a different route: arrange . Then the location for the event will be own apartment or a spacious hall decorated with black and white movie posters or photographs of cinema stars of those times: Charlie Chaplin, Audrey Hepburn and others.

Dress code

The secret to the success of almost any party is carefully thought out dress code its participants. In our case ideal option will be the inheritance of such icons of “black and white fashion” as Grace Kelly and Victoria Beckham.

For men, a formal suit or tuxedo is suitable. You can experiment with a black bottom and a white jacket.
Lovers of glamor and extravagance can borrow a look from Lady Gaga or Elton John, or choose a zebra striped outfit.

Treats

The menu for a black and white party requires special creativity from the chef, whose task is to come up with an appropriate presentation for everyone dishes. We advise you to pay attention to canapés with white cheeses, crackers with caviar, eggplants and olives. Sushi and soy sauce would be appropriate, for main courses – pasta and black beans, for dessert – black and white cake or fondue. Some dishes can be recolored using food coloring. The main thing is not to overdo it!

From soft drinks Hot chocolate, milk shakes and sparkling waters are suitable. good The alcoholic choice will be cocktails and "White Russian", as well as the French aperitif "Dubonnet" (white, not red).

Music

To create a playlist, use any music service by setting search "by name". Here are some ideas: "Black or white" - Michael Jackson, "Back in Black" - AC/DC, "White Liar" - Miranda Lambert, "White Wedding" - Billy Idol, "Black Magic Woman" - Santana, "Ebony and Ivory" - Paul McCartney and Stevie Wonder, "Black Velvet" - Alanna Miles.

Entertainment

View in black and white movie or themed will be a great addition to the party. Chess is a good choice of games - both traditional and in the Harry Potter style, when the dance floor turns into a field for a game, and the party participants become chess pieces.

It will be original entertainment shadow play. In order to organize it, you will need: a light source and White screen(on which the image will be projected) or a curtain (the performance will take place behind it). All guests must be divided into a jury and two teams - spectators and actors. The latter’s task is to think up a short story and show it to the audience and the jury. Afterwards, the teams change places. The winners receive a souvenir.

The world is full rich colors and bright madness! What if you turn off the color for a while? A contrasting party in black and white style will turn any holiday into an exciting and fascinating experiment! Two opposites, unable to exist without each other - what could be more interesting?

Decor

No matter the occasion, you have tons of script options! Classic solution– black and white decorations without reference to any theme. Cover the walls and ceiling with inexpensive fabric or paper wallpaper. Drape the furniture in satin or velvet. Black and white stripes or polka dots, abstract bloopers or geometric patterns, Dalmatian, cow or zebra patterns - there is a wide choice, you don’t have to stop at a solid color. For a long time? Rent white hall, add black decorations.

Elegant white candles in blackened candelabra, mirrors in heavy dark frames, snow-white flowers in black miniature vases, black and white glass beads. From corrugated paper it is not difficult to assemble lush flounces or bouquets, garlands for wall decoration or ceiling “hangers”. Don't have time to glue and cut? Decorate the room with contrasting balloons.

Simple and cheap: old tulle or lace, gouache in two colors, fabric dye, twigs without leaves (the more “crooked” the more interesting). Bleach half the lace, dye half black. The branches are the same - paint half with gouache black, half white. Collect flowers from lace, attach them to branches - black flowers to white branches and vice versa. Place in vases and you’re done!

If you are planning a party in the style of a black and white movie, decorate the walls with aged posters, playbills or photos of celebrities of a bygone era: Charlie Chaplin, Marlene Dietrich, Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe. Make garlands from film strips, and flower buds from cinema tickets (print in black and white). Firecrackers for taking takes, movie cameras, awards. Feathers, hats, veils, cigarette holders, silverware are appropriate - everything is vintage, in a retro style, making you mentally travel back in time.

Not interested? Invite your friends to expose themselves by coming to the party in the form of a white angel or a black demon! Decor: feathers, wings, halos, angels and evil demons - figures, drawings. Or have some fun by throwing your friends... in jail! Striped robes, minimal decor, fake bars, chains, shackles and “terrible” instruments of torture.

Suits

Playing with black and white is the Yin and Yang of design: it suits absolutely everyone, it’s easy to find balance and easy to combine, perfect harmony and perfectly complementary shades. Classic style party black and white will not confuse anyone! Surely there is something suitable in the wardrobes of friends - small black dress or a suit. But loose-fitting clothing, kept in a black and white. Pay attention to details - hair color (wig, if yours doesn’t fit into the picture), makeup, manicure, accessories, shoes (any little thing will destroy the integrity of the picture).

Focus on dress code in invitations. By the way, the invitations themselves should also correspond to the theme. Unexpectedly - white text on a black background. Elegant - embossed paper or white cards with black lace. Playfully - paper with a “cow” or “Dalmatian” pattern.

You'll have to rack your brains about what to wear if you preferred the black-and-white movie option. The ideal solution there will be a 1920s or early 30s style: low-waisted dresses, long strings of beads, thin eyebrows, wave hairstyles. For men: classic three-piece, hat, scarf in pocket, cane. Complex, but effective - images of movie stars of that time. In this case, guests need to be warned long before the party, because it will take more than one day to create a Chaplin or Monroe costume.

Serving, menu

A black tablecloth looks mournful - it is better to cover the tables with a white cloth with a black ornament or a striped, spotted, checkerboard tablecloth. You can play with a layered option: a black tablecloth to the floor, and a white one on top, to the middle of the table legs. Plates of different sizes and colors, stacked on top of each other. The menu is at your discretion, from light snacks to a hearty feast. You don't have to make every dish black and white (impressive, but very difficult).

Products that are useful for decorating in white:

feta cheese, cottage cheese, rice, white beans, grated protein;

white sauce, radishes and peeled cucumbers;

currants, grapes, slices of melon, apples and pears without skin;

coconuts and shavings, White chocolate, marshmallows and frosting, powdered sugar, whipped cream.

Black color:

olives, eggplants, dark beans;

black bell peppers and tomatoes;

grapes, currants, cherries, blackberries;

dark chocolate, glaze, cocoa.

Entertainment

What will your party be in black and white style: a social event, crazy fun or quiet get-togethers? For any option, it is not difficult to choose games to match the theme. The most obvious ones are “Mafia” cards, chess, dominoes, watching a b/w movie. Just make sure the guests don’t get bored!

1. Dancing on a newspaper is a classic of the genre. The newspaper fits right into the surroundings! Couples dance to the music on the unfolded strip, after a while the sheet is folded in half, then in half again, and so on until the guests can move, standing on the newspaper with at least the toe of their shoe.

2. Dancing with a newspaper - more cheeky. You need to move, holding the sheet with your bodies. The winner is the couple whose newspaper at the end of the song turns out to be the most unsightly looking. You can dance with your legs tied (the guy's leg to the girl's leg), remembering Yin-Yang.

3. Surely friends have old childhood photos in black and white color. Guess which of the guests turned into that cute girl or that shy guy?

4. Play shadow theater (white fabric screen and lamp on the back side). Guess what the presenter is showing. Act out scenes. Guess who is behind the screen (fake breasts, fake belly, huge hat - don’t let the answer be too obvious).

5. If you want to end the script effectively, Prepare black and white sheets for each party guest. Let friends write their fears on black cards, and their secret dreams on white cards. Crumple the black sheets all together and burn them on a large metal tray. And let your dreams go free - along the river in boats, from the balcony in airplanes, into the sky on helium balloons (tie to a string). Can be attached to paper lanterns– at night they take off especially beautifully!

Black and white

Black color

It exists in contrast to white, absorbs all colors around and never releases them.

Black always hides everything that it carries, that is, it is “mysterious” (often used in horror films). Black color is associated with curiosity, it attracts to itself. Frightens (fear due to mystery). The color black always challenges a person to try to free his essence, that is, a person must go through black in order to know how much white there is in him.

Black gives you a chance to rest, contains a promise - “everything will be fine,” hope, but at the same time you must remember that it will not let you go as you were before - it delays, but does not force you to do anything. When depression sets in, only the negative characteristics of the color black remain. He always, like death, speaks of silence and tranquility, it means the end.

Preference for black in clothes - lack or absence of something very important in life - a person covers himself with black. It is necessary to move out of black gradually, diluting it with other colors.

White color

White color is characterized by perfection and completeness, demonstrating an absolute and final decision, complete freedom for possibilities and the removal of obstacles.

Its fundamental quality is equality, because contains all colors, they are equal in it. It always inspires, helps, inspires a certain faith (gives freedom). If there is a lot of white, its negative characteristics come into force.

White color in clothes means the beginning. The white wig of a judge is a symbol of justice. “white knight” is a symbol of salvation. A white coat (in a hospital) is also considered a symbol of salvation and sterile cleanliness. White color controls the functions of the endocrine and visual systems. White clothes makes the skin much softer and more tender.

Black and white colors together they extinguish each other, no longer carry their original information, no longer bear pressure on the psyche. You should pay attention to the age at which black is rejected. As a rule, black color is chosen when depression sets in and others are rejected.
