Breakfast at Tiffany’s Themed Party Supplies and Decor
Let’s start with the basics. You can start a perfect Breakfast at Tiffany’s party with these next few items for your table and a backdrop. I would throw a white table cloth under the table runner, just to keep it looking formal. But, check out the items below:
1.Tiffany Blue Flowers
I love these faux hydrangeas. They look super beautiful and are made of a durable silk and plastic blend. The pack comes with 10 stems and a good sized stem at 9.8 inches. The stems can also be cut easily, if you want to use a smaller vase. Please note the vase pictured does not come with the flowers. But, I would suggest checking out your local Dollar Tree or 99 Cent store to find cheap glassware for your table top!

2. Diamond Table Scatter
I think I have a small obsession with diamond table scatter. I actually used these for my wedding centerpieces! Diamond table scatter adds a sense of formality and luxuriousness to party decor. You can scatter it around the full table, or maybe you want to keep it centered around your hydrangea flowers. However you’d like to use it, it is sure to be a big crowd pleaser! But, just know that they are easy to spill all over the floor if you drop the package. (Not that I know from personal experience….)Tiffany Blue Table Runner

3. Diamond and Tiffany Blue Table Runner
Table runners add such an easy pop to a table setting. It’s by far the easiest way to dress up a table! I love this one because it looks expensive (but isn’t – seriously, it’s $7). It’s hard to tell in the small picture, but it is covered in small, fancy sequins. It’s also 72″ long, so it’s going to fit a lot of tables! If your table is longer, you can get two and overlap right in the middle. Then put a centerpiece, or some food, over that meeting point.
Pick up your Tiffany Blue Table Runner on Amazon.
4. Diamond and Tiffany Blue Photo Backdrop
This backdrop is an easy, no DIY needed photo backdrop for your party. It comes in two sizes, 5’x3′ and 8’x6′. At a reasonable price, it’s a quick way to put some serious decor up with minimal spending. It is a simple way to provide your guests with a POP for your party!

1.Tiffany Blue, Teal, and Silver Balloons
This balloon kit is perfect for setting up a special space in your party! It comes with a mixture of 10″ and 5″ balloons in multiple colors: white, tiffany blue, teal and silver. Here’s the breakdown of what comes with the set:

2. Silver Tinsel Backdrop
This silver tinsel backdrop is a super easy way to put some pizzazz in your party. A Breakfast at Tiffany’s party isn’t complete without some glitz and glitter. It’s easy to pop up and doesn’t take a whole lot of work. It could be a fun way to have your guests enter the party, if you tape it up over a door frame, too!
Grab the Silver Tinsel decor here.
3. Tiffany Blue Roses
These roses are beautiful! They come with buds that are about 3 inches and have stems that are 8 inches long. This set is a pack of 50! You can do so many things with these 50 flowers! They could be part of a party favor, additional decor, used in your place settings if you’re serving dinner, etc!
Pick up the Tiffany Blue roses here.
Tips & Tricks for Decor:
- Don’t go overboard on decor! I know it’s tempting, but keep it simple. Your Breakfast at Tiffany’s party will be more elegant. Stick to one backdrop, with balloons, some table decor, and various pieces throughout the room.
- Stick to three colors max. Think Silver, Tiffany Blue and White. You can totally use different shades of the same color as well. So, you’re good to go with lighter or darker versions of Tiffany Blue too!
- Don’t forget you’re going to need things like scissors and tape! Don’t wait until the day of your party to find out you don’t have them!
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Themed Tableware and Snacks
Things for your table and the snacks can get a glow up too! These Breakfast at Tiffany’s party supplies are perfect little touches for your shindig. Check out some of my favorite picks for snacks and tableware.
1.Espresso Cups
If you watch the iconic party scene in Breakfast at Tiffany’s, you’ll see these espresso cups being used widely across the room. They have small handles for your fingers, to keep them from getting burned. If you don’t have espresso, you could always use them for coffee as well!
Grab your disposable paper espresso cups here.
2. Tiffany Blue Lollipops
These lollipops bring some whimsy to your party and also provide a great pop of color. It would work really well for a Breakfast at Tiffany’s themed candy bar or as party favors. You could even put a lollipop on each plate for a fun table setting.
Get your Tiffany blue lollipops on Amazon.
3. Highball Glasses
Highball glasses are perfect for your Breakfast at Tiffany’s party. They can be used for your liquor of choice, which I would suggest bourbon or whiskey, like in the movie party scene. (I mean, make a cocktail out of it, you don’t have to go that hard – unless you want to, lol). Or, put your Sprite in these glasses for a fancy looking soda! But, they are plastic, so no worries about breaking!
Pick up your Highball Plastic Glasses here.
4. Hershey Kiss Stickers
These stickers are the perfect size to drop on the bottom of some Hershey Kisses! And, what a better snack item than chocolate, much less chocolate on theme in silver and Tiffany Blue. These stickers are customizable and you can put your own spin on the bottom.
Grab your Tiffany Blue Hershey’s stickers here.
5. Tiffany Blue Plates
Plates like these are easy, disposable, but also classy and fun. They have a Tiffany Blue border and come in two sizes. The set is enough for 25 guests and if that isn’t enough, they even have a bigger set. The set has a dinner plate and salad plate for each place setting.
Get your Tiffany Blue plastic plates here.
Tips & Tricks for Snacks and Tableware:
- Keep it simple! Use the plastic plates for easy cleanup, made food that is quick and easy!
- For food, think small bites. It would be easy to keep on theme while providing things like tea sandwiches or small appetizers. That way people can eat, mix, mingle and have fun. Or, you could go the opposite and do a totally formal sit down dinner. I have a tendency to be simple and keep things light.
- But, don’t have too many drink options. Stick to one cocktail, one non-alcoholic option (like soda) and, of course, don’t forget water! Then finish the night off with some coffee, so people can cap off their evening warm and fuzzy!
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Party Outfits
A Breakfast at Tiffany’s party isn’t complete without a fancy outfit! Everyone remembers Audrey Hepburns classic little black dress. In the party scene she is seen wearing a black and silver costume necklace and some big earrings. In other scenes, when she is walking the streets of New York, she has on the pearls. But, it’s really your choice! I have some options for both below. Don’t forget the lipstick or lashes too!
1.Little Black Dress
This is the ultimate little black dress! It’s flirty, classy and flattering. It comes in multiple sizes from XS to L. It is 100% cotton, which makes it super comfortable. Not only is it perfect for your Breakfast at Tiffany’s party, but you can wear it to other life events, like cocktail parties, work functions, and girl’s night!

2. Pearl Necklace and Earrings (Faux) Gloves, and Cigarette holder
This accessory set is the perfect addition to your Holly Golightly costume. It includes a beautiful faux pearl necklace with flower pendant, matching earrings, gloves and cigarette holder. I’m not a smoker, so it would be candy cigarettes all the way for me! The gloves are satin and long, with a vintage look.
Grab the Holly Golightly accessories set here.
3. Black and Silver Costume Jewelry Necklace and Earrings
This is an alternate jewelry option. You can see it’s similar to the one she wore in the apartment party in the movie. It’s a thick, bib-like necklace and a set of costume jewelry type earrings. Very classy and beautiful for your little black dress!
Pick up the Necklace here and the Earrings here.
4. Neutral Lipstick
Audrey Hepburn has a quintessential nude lip in this party scene. A quick Google search of what she wore in the movie will lead you to Revlon. This nude is Revlon Super Lustrous – Pink in the Afternoon. It has Vitamin E and Avocado oil for super moisture, keeping your lips soft too! But, you can use your favorite nude shade too.
Get your Revlon Pink in the Afternoon here.
5. Fake Eyelashes
The costume is not complete without lashes. And, sure you could use mascara (as you should anyway), but the faux lashes add a certain level of formality. And, it really makes an impact on framing your beautiful eyes. Especially since the makeup from Breakfast at Tiffany’s was minimal to maximize Audrey Hepburn’s beauty. But, you should do the same!
Grab the Faux lashes here.
Alternate Outfit Ideas
Maybe you want to continue your theme into the evening with an Audrey Hepburn inspired sleep set! Here are a few options to get your very own cute eye cover and white sleepshirt!
1.White Sleepshirt
This is an updated, and possibly more comfortable white sleepshirt option. Holly Golightly’s sleepshirt is very retro and cute, but also restrictive. I like to sleep with space, so this updated one is more the vibe! It’s available in sizes ranging from small to extra large.
Get your white sleepshirt here.
2. Eye Cover
This is a really good replica of Audrey’s character’s in the movie! It’s a cute eye cover that has some gold detail and fake lashes. Then there are little ear plugs similar to the ones she uses in the movie. In fact, it’s a super fun way to take your theme all the way through bedtime.
Grab your eye cover and ear plugs here.
3. Movie Accurate Nightshirt Costume Set
This is like, an almost exact replica of this outfit from the movie. It has the retro nightshirt, the mask and the earplugs. So, if you want to go more accurate to the movie, this one is your choice! And, they come altogether in one set, so no need to order separate things.

Tips & Tricks for Breakfast at Tiffany’s Party Outfits:
- Less is more. Keep the style simple. Add one or two main pieces for statements, like a necklace. Otherwise, keep it simple! Same goes for makeup. You’ll notice in the movie she doesn’t go heavy on makeup. But, just a highlight of the lip and eyes are perfect!
- Decide the vibe of your party ahead of time. Is it going to be fancy? Do the dress! If you’re keeping it more laid back, and maybe doing more of a girl’s night, maybe have fun and invite everyone to come in their PJs and you can do the Audrey sleepshirt! However, it is all up to you.
Breakfast at Tiffany’s Themed Party Favors
Party favors are sometimes my favorite part of a party. I think because you can really make them emphasize the theme. There are plenty of Tiffany’s themed party favors available, but, these are some of my favorites. I mean, if you can actually get people the little blue box, more power to you, but, that is definitely not in my budget! And, check out some of these other options:
1.Tiffany Blue Party Favor Boxes
This is as close as my butt will ever get to buying a bunch of people a little blue box! Fill them with candy, or little fake rings, anything that might fit in a 2×2 box. And, don’t forget to get some ribbon to put around them. But, I love the white look in the picture. The set comes with 50 boxes too!
Get your Tiffany Blue boxes here.
2. Fake Cigarette Holders
These are just a fun thing to pass out to your guests to use during the party. They can use them for photo ops or just to play the part! And, they are plastic and come in a set of 6. Then, you can reuse any for a Great Gatsby party or any other retro theme!
Grab your fake cigarette holders here.
3. Faux Pearl Necklaces
This is another one that would be fun to give to guests as they come in the party. Who’s turning down pearls, fake or not? It’s a good way to get everyone in the fun and fancy vibe for your Breakfast at Tiffany’s party. They come in a set of 24, so plenty for your party! (Or, if you’re having a rager, get two packs!) Or, you could get two packs to double up for people as well!
Pick up your beaded necklaces here.
4. Bottle Koozies for Bridal Shower (If that’s your party reason)
This one only applies to bridal showers or bachelorette parties. But, since Breakfast at Tiffany’s is a common theme for those parties, I figured I would include them. Plus, they are so cute. These koozies say “Put a Ring on It” and are in the iconic Tiffany Blue.
Get your Put a Ring on it koozies here on Beau-coup.
More Party Favor Ideas
Finally, a couple more options for party favors are these super fun light up rings, and of course some sunglasses. Audrey can be seen wearing some retro black glasses in the movie. And, the rings are, well, self explanatory!
Get your light up rings or black retro sunglasses.
Tips & Tricks for Party Favors:
- Where I would normally say keep it simple, I go the opposite for party favors. Get a few! Mix it up and have fun. They are supposed to be fun. However, party favors remind people of being a kid. That’s another reason I love them!
- You can’t go wrong with anything silver, glitzy or retro. In fact, just stick to those themes, and it will work. I promise! 🙂

So, what do you think? Are you ready for your Breakfast at Tiffany’s party? You can go retro, glam, fancy or simple. It is up to you.
