THE FULL PARTY BREAKDOWN
Decor & Setup
We wanted to transport everyone to 1899 Paris – but with a modern, sparkly twist.
The Marquee Heart
A flexible LED light strip shaped into a “heart” on the wall. It took less than 30 minutes but was a total “wow factor.”
The Main Sign: A DIY “Moulin Rouge” sign using Cricut-cut gold letters on black foam core with red LED outlines.
Red Wall Tinsel: I covered the entire downstairs walls in red tinsel. It made the biggest impact for the price!
Tablescape
I started with a Gold Sequin Table Cloth for maximum impact. Red taper and pillar candles in gold holders provided that moody Parisian lighting and I used mini disco balls as table scatter. It added a fun, modern “party” flair to the vintage look.
FOOD
The Menu
We served both savory Cheese Fondue and decadent Chocolate Fondue. (This was a huge hit – I had to make a second batch of cheese!)
THE BAR
Signature Drinks
Of these Moulin Rouge Party themed drinks the chocolate-covered raspberry martini was the crowd favorite. Don’t forget the garnishes they really elevated the cocktails!

DRESS CODE
Sequin & Lace
I wore a Maroon Sequin & Fringe Dance Bodysuit with a built in rhinestone collar necklace – super flattering on my body and comfortable! I found this gem on Facebook Marketplace (as well as a few other items you’ll see in future parties to come).
I paired it with Nude nylons which I layered with Black Fishnets on top to give my legs a smooth finish underneath but still stay on theme with the risqué look! It also provided an extra layer of warmth with how short the bodysuit was.
For accessories I had rhinestone earrings and black lace fingerless gloves
Lastly, I wore my go to Rhinestone kitten Heels to complete the look
