With the 90th Academy Awards preparations well under way, many of you will be hosting and/or attending Oscar parties. Whether you’re mingling with celebrities at after Oscar parties such as Vanity Fair, or hosting and/or attending an Oscar party with family and friends, the fun bash/celebrations take your evening into an exciting direction.
The 2018 Academy Awards will air live on ABC on March 4, 2018, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. Although you certainly don’t need a reason to throw a party, the Oscars is the epitome of award ceremonies, and it presents the “to the nines” party opportunity.
Tips for Hosting the Perfect Oscar Party:
- Select a theme: Hollywood, Glamour, Movies, etc.
- Prepare and strut your own Red Carpet event.
- For delicious food and munchies, serve popcorn, or go for the catered affair if you are hosting a fancier event, or do it “potluck” style where each guest brings a dish.
- Have all guests dress to Oscar proportions and give a prize to the first place male and female winner.
- Have your guests guess their favorite nominee (winner) in each category. First place wins a prize.
- Supply fun goodie bags for the guests.
- Enjoy!
