Oscar Party Decor to Desserts, Food to Favors
Now for the party proper! With just 6 key party elements—from some truly inspiring styled sets and creative blogs—see how a glitzy and glam Oscar Night look can all come together!
While the awards show will, of course, be the star of the evening, you can all feel like celebrities yourselves while watching it. Use a party palette of gold, black, touches of red and lots of sparkle!
Incorporate themed decorations everywhere, such as miniature Oscar statuettes amidst glittery votives on your table setting (1) and a giant balloon with gold calligraphy (5) as party “signage” over your food and drinks buffet. A stunning backdrop of gold-sequined fabric spells instant star quality!
Since you’ll all be glued to screen while you party, prepare an easy to serve menu. Pasta Bolognese (6) would make a flavorful and filling main dish, accompanied by a salad and side dishes (see our suggested recipe links at the end of this post). For a fancy beverage, consider a dessert cocktail like Raspberry Popsicles with Champagne (3), paired with Red Carpet Cupcakes topped with sparkly stars (4). And for party favors, “award” each guest with Oscar-shaped cookies (2) to take home.
