How to Throw an Oscars Viewing Party
Gathering friends and family together for a night of fun can be a simple affair, but the Oscars are this weekend so why not throw a themed party to make the evening one to remember (even if you haven’t seen half the films nominated!)?
There are lots of ways to make your party stand out:
- Attire: Encourage guests to dress up as their favorite character in a movie or drag out that old bridesmaid dress to walk down the red carpet with!
- Décor: The Red carpet is important – why not use a table runner as a quick stand-in for the night? Golden balloons and other “gold” accents will help set the tone of the evening!
- Food: Movie themed food is an easy one to Google, but you can also have a popcorn bar with different flavors and toppings for guests to try. Candy bars are also fun with movie theatre candy options in bulk for guests to fill containers with.
- Drinks: signature cocktail & champagne
We all know that the awards can also take a while, so give your guests things to do during the evening with games and more!
- Games: Download a free Oscar bingo card and give out mini gold statues to winners!
- Picture fun:
- Have a “photographer” to serve as paparazzi taking photos as guests arrive and walk down the red carpet. Best pose gets a prize!
- Setup a fun DIY photo booth – themed props – directors mic, old movie reel, big sunglasses, diamond necklaces!
- “Goody bags”/gifts for guests – You can make your own “swag” items for guests to leave with so they will always remember the fun!
