Looking to Host a Moulin Rouge Party?

If you are looking to host a Moulin Rouge party then there are many aspects to consider. Essentially a cabaret built in 1889 in France, it is well known for its introduction of the famous can-can dance to the world with its signature red windmill. Movies have also depicted their own interpretation of Moulin Rouge in which you can gain creative ideas and Moulin Rouge party ideas from.

Theme Colours, Decorations and Atmosphere

Red and black should be your primary Moulin Rouge party colours as you begin your decorating, but you can be sure to include many other bright and vibrant colours as you strive for the ambience you need. For your Moulin Rouge party, be sure to include a large red windmill, a poster, cardboard cutout or even a model if you can have one available. Stringing multiple lights around the room or having special stage lights will help make the cabaret atmosphere more realistic.

Music can be a great way to help your Moulin Rouge party atmosphere. Your budget may allow having a DJ or MC and a live band or even featured vocalists. If this is too extravagant, try renting a karaoke machine and let your guests try their hand at singing during your event. You could also showcase the movie soundtrack during your Moulin Rouge party as part of your background ambience.

Old-style cigar waitresses can be part of your Moulin Rouge party even if you are having a non-smoking event. You can find a party attendee willing to don a cigar waitress costume and sport an old cigar box filled with real cigars or fake ones made of chocolate or even bubble-gum. If having a waitress throughout the party is not possible, try placing real or fake cigars on each table as a party favour for your guests.

Costume Dress

One of the great parts of having a Moulin Rouge party is having the guests dress in costumes for their attendance. Women can arrive in costume dress that is specialized for Can Can dancers or traditional Paris fashions. Elegant gowns, corsets with garters and extravagant jewellery are great touches for the women's overall appearance. Men can fit in quite well using tails and top hats while some may also add monocles or handlebar moustaches to accent their style.

Food and Beverages

Having the right food and beverages can help make your Moulin Rouge party authentic. Be sure to include French cuisine including rich pastries such as croissants and cakes decorated with cherries and thick cream icings. You can prepare a bright green punch using food colouring in juices or green liqueurs to serve to your guests as Absinthe. Champagne and wine are also great touches to include as part of your beverage menu.

Getting the perfect atmosphere and theme for your Moulin Rouge party is not difficult and will be fun to host once you bring all of the aspects together. Your event is sure to be the talk of the town when you host such a gallant affair.
