Everyone loves a good party, especially themed parties organized with sparkle and enthusiasm. However, choosing a truly interesting and exciting idea for a celebration is not so easy. Today we invite you to familiarize yourself with the eternal, one might say, imperishable theme that will appeal to both brutal men and beautiful girls - a party in the spirit of “Agent 007”.
James Bond's style is incomparable. This character has been exciting the minds of television viewers for more than half a century. He is recognized and loved all over the world. But how to organize a party in this format? Today we will talk about the correct design of the formal hall, offer interesting entertainment for guests and give recommendations on menu selection. By following our advice, readers will create a stunning evening that will truly be unforgettable for everyone and full of pleasant impressions and events.
Where does Bond fit in?
First, let’s figure out whether any holiday can be tailored to such a theme. In general, the James Bond style is universal, and therefore it is suitable for organizing almost any celebration. Of course, there are a number of events that are most appropriately combined with all sorts of spy stuff, charismatic men in expensive tuxedos and girls in luxurious evening dresses:
- birthday;
- any corporate party;
- New Year's Eve.
In addition, many event agencies offer their clients to celebrate even a wedding in this format. A James Bond style wedding can actually be very interesting. A little later we will talk about the features of such a holiday.
Decorating the hall for a party in the style of "Agent 007"
Without proper framing of the hall, it is almost impossible to inspire guests to sincerely support the idea of the event hosts. James Bond style decoration can be different, and each party organizer, when choosing decorations and decorations, is based on his personal budget, but he must strictly adhere to the chosen theme.
Bond films are intriguing with their twisted plots, enchanting battles between the main character and his opponents and, of course, the luxurious lifestyle of the famous agent of Her Majesty's secret service. To make your holiday as impressive as a movie, you don’t have to spend a lot of money. What should you pay attention to and what could be a good solution for decorating a room?
Bond is a casino regular. He is gambling, rich, loves good booze and beautiful women. Therefore, you can make full use of the attributes of gaming establishments:
- roulette;
- poker table;
- posters, banners and placards depicting playing cards, chips;
- huge dice cubes;
- garlands of balloons or shiny paper depicting the suits of cards in the deck;
- It’s also impossible to do without posters of Agent 007 himself, beautiful girls.
By the way, it is not at all necessary to look for color pictures; you can limit yourself to only male and female silhouettes with weapons in their hands. This will give the hall some mystery and understatement.
To decorate such an event, you should select paraphernalia with a rich range of colors: black, red, gold tones. The room also needs a special one - darkened, decorated in brown, blue or green colors. It’s good if the furniture in the hall is wooden or upholstered in genuine leather or a high-quality substitute. James Bond's style does not imply cheapness - everything must be done to the highest standard.
How to apply?
As for the decorations, there is a lot to work on. The banquet hall should be decorated in such a way that the invited guests are fascinated by its beauty, and most importantly, immediately understand the style of the party.
It is possible to decorate the hall with the appropriate “gentleman's sets” that every secret agent in the films has.
- It is necessary to decorate the room with pictures and posters from films about spies,
- you can chaotically place small notes around the hall on which phrases will be encrypted,
- counterfeit money,
- replicas of a revolver,
- sunglasses and hats for those who wish to try them on.
James Bond Menu
The British intelligence special agent's favorite drink is a cocktail of vodka, martini and ice, garnished with a thin slice of lemon or olive. Our movie hero also does not disdain stronger alcohol - whiskey and bourbon. Therefore, these drinks should “warm up” the mood of guests at a James Bond-themed party.
With food, everything is not so simple and clear. First of all, because the menu very much depends on what kind of holiday will be held in this style. The easiest way to solve the snack problem is at a small birthday party or corporate event. A buffet table with sandwiches, canapes, different types of cuts and portioned salads in small outlets will fit perfectly into the evening format.
But at a wedding, such light snacks will not be enough for guests; they will need to be treated to exquisite dishes of meat and seafood, giving preference to Italian or French cuisine.
Menu, serving
Set the table as in an expensive restaurant - floor-length tablecloths, crystal and fine china, textile napkins in rings. Chocolate fountains, ice sculptures, pyramids of glasses, multi-tiered coasters, miniature vases with fresh flowers. To decorate dishes, make pictures on skewers - weapons, numbers 007, dice, etc. Simple silhouettes can be easily drawn with black/red acrylic (can be done through stencils) on glasses and other thin glassware.
The design of all menu dishes should also be up to standard. Ideas can be found on the Internet - nothing supernatural, just without “home flavor”. You can cut fruits and vegetables into shapes to decorate dishes, make roses from thin slices or cherry tomatoes, and use candied flowers to decorate desserts.
The priority is light gourmet snacks, delicacies, miniature sandwiches and canapés. Using fondant and colored icing, you can easily decorate cupcakes and cookies thematically, or a stylized cake for a birthday.
Drinks: champagne, wine for the ladies, whiskey (Bond's favorite drink), the famous tandem of vodka and martini. Agent 007 also loves Black Velvet, Stinger and Americano - the simplest recipes. It’s great if the party has a bar counter and a bartender who surprises guests with virtuoso tricks and unusual tastes. Martini glasses - real and large decorative ones - can be used in compositions and for serving desserts.
The Vesper cocktail, invented by Bond: “Three fingers of Gordon (gin), one of vodka, half a finger of Kina Lillet (vermouth). Beat well and add a thin spiral of lemon zest.”
What to include in the event script: competitions and entertainment for guests
What kind of party will be, for which the script is written in the style of James Bond, greatly depends on the audience present at this celebration. Children can be entertained with various quests, spy riddles and competitions. To add spice and excitement to the games, it is better to divide the guests into two teams and interest them in winning some kind of prize. Various tasks and hints are laid out in the hall to make them easier to find. Participants of the quest can also arrange an obstacle course, a competition in shooting from toy weapons at targets, and darts.
Adults may also be interested in such fun, but it’s still better to come up with more “serious” fun for them:
- mini roulette;
- poker;
- order a magician-illusionist;
- organize a comic search at the entrance;
- hire an ensemble of cabaret dancers;
- make interesting photo shoots.
The last point is generally universal entertainment. Selfie mania has captivated the world and everyone who has a page on a social network will happily take pictures on an impromptu red carpet or in front of a cool banner with the 007 logo, and then show off the cool pictures to their friends. You can also prepare special themed accessories for guests, like those shown in the next picture.
Party looks
Now it's time to move on to the dress code. Any party is not only about external decorations, it is, first of all, about people, their states and images.
To understand how to dress up for a spy party, you need to imagine that elegant atmosphere from the films about agent 007.
Exquisite outfits, luxurious women, liberated men. There is pleasure all around. A real party for adults.
We propose to analyze in detail the outfits for men and women.
Male image
Let's start with gallant men.
Costume
A must have for a Bond themed party. There is no need to invent a bike here; a black classic suit is ideal.
A crisp white shirt, an elegant bow tie, polished shoes, an expensive watch and cufflinks.
The suit can also be dark blue or gray, but is certainly stylish. You can use a tie instead of a bow tie.
Do not use bright variegated colors, this is inappropriate here.
Hair should be carefully styled using a special styling gel.
Work on your condition. Be brave, ready to resolve conflicts at any cost and adventurous. Add to this admiration for women and a craving for gambling.
Accessories
Probably an essential attribute of a secret special agent is a revolver. Buy fake weapons, but feel more warlike and spylike.
As accessories, you can take a suitcase for money and a cigar mouthpiece.
Female image
As for women, the variety of suitable outfits for a spy party is extremely wide. You are not limited to a classic - somewhat strict - suit, but can choose an outfit that will highlight your strengths and impressive sides.
Dresses
When choosing dresses for a Bond girl-style party, the main thing is to follow the rule of sophistication and elegance.
There are no restrictions on the color or style of the dress.
Here are a few particularly suitable options:
Regardless of your choice, you should like yourself in this dress! To get in the mood, you can visit a beauty salon on the eve of the party, watch red carpet ceremonies, and spy films. The film “Casino Royale” with the delightful and sophisticated Eva Green is perfect.
Decorations
Be sure to match your shoes and accessories to your dress. Low-heeled pumps, clutch, neck pendant, earrings and bracelet. Don’t be shy about “expensive” jewelry, gold, precious metals.
Create an elegant updo or let your hair down and create voluminous curls. For a Hollywood themed party, “heavy” evening makeup, smokey eyes, and rich scarlet lipstick are suitable. Time to shine!
Dress code
With men, everything is more or less clear - they should look courageous and stylish. A classic suit, beautiful dress shoes and expensive accessories will be appropriate and relevant more than ever. Often, guests, trying to fully match the theme of the party, complement their look with a hat. Of course, throughout the history of the existence of the character under discussion, there have been actors whose costumes could not be imagined without this accessory, but the modern style of James Bond completely excludes it.
With women it’s the same as with men – the Bond girls from the latest films are dressed beautifully and luxuriously. But costume designers do not use outfits from the 60s and 70s to create their images. On the contrary, the dress of a special agent's companion should be classic, but modern, and it must be complemented with interesting details.
Wedding with Bond
A 007 themed wedding is sure to be stunning and unlike any other wedding. But you will have to spend an order of magnitude more money on such an event than on a classic banquet. The main budget item will consist of expenses for suitable decoration of the hall. You will also have to fork out for a delicious menu and special entertainment for guests. In principle, all the recommendations that we gave a little higher are also suitable for a wedding; there is no need to invent anything new.
True, since there are always more guests at a wedding than at a regular party, the casino should be equipped with more than one poker table and a single roulette - several such attributes need to be prepared so that none of the guests are bored.
You should also purchase a couple of sets of chips and counterfeit banknotes, which can be given to guests at the entrance to the hall, or sent along with invitations. It wouldn’t hurt to design the invitation cards themselves in the chosen style, making them in the form of tuxedos or James Bond’s business card.
Spy menu and table setting
When preparing a banquet, you need to choose the right table setting. For James Bond, tablecloths that reach the floor, crystal and porcelain tableware, multi-tiered coasters and pyramids of glasses would be most appropriate. Small vases with fresh flowers will look good on the tables. It is also necessary to arrange and decorate dishes in the chosen style. Here you can use stencils, pictures on skewers or mastic, which produces excellent, and most importantly, believable figures. When choosing a menu, it is better to focus on light, but at the same time delicious snacks, canapés and delicacies. When holding a children's party, the most popular dish will be a cake, which must be decorated with colored icing and mastic. Cupcakes with edible decorations in the form of cards or miniature spy equipment are also well received.
Agent 007's favorite drinks
- It is especially worth paying attention to the presence of whiskey on the tables, because this is James Bond’s favorite alcoholic drink;
- for girls, champagne or red wine;
- if you make cocktails, it will be “Black Velvet” or “Americano”;
- The star of the evening will be a cocktail invented by the spy himself - Vesper.
If the holiday is for children, then these can be any drinks from juice to iced tea.
Musical accompaniment also plays an important role during the event. Almost all tracks are suitable for this event. Everything is appropriate - from a relaxing melody to fiery songs of the 50s. But it's better not to use modern pop music.
When creating a program for a party in the style of Agent 007 , it is worth selecting competitions that are aimed at testing one or another spy quality. It is better to connect the theme of the competition with the storyline of the overall scenario, then the evening will be interesting and exciting.

A name day party isn't as big as a wedding, and making it a themed event is much easier. A James Bond themed birthday is a great opportunity to have fun and have a blast.
Having decorated the room and prepared the appropriate menu, the event organizer should not forget about selecting the right music for his evening. The best option would be soundtracks from films about agent 007.
These are quite diverse compositions, among which you can choose a track list with calm songs to fill the silence during snacks and moments of rest. More driving audio recordings can be used on the dance floor, mixing them with modern popular hits.
