Oscar Party Planning Guide

Get the Invites Out

Invite people to your Oscar party.  Speed up the process by using an online service like Evite or create a Facebook event.  Evite has some fun Oscar Party Invites.

Make an Entrance

Every Oscar party should have a red carpet, have your guests dress the part in formal wear.  No red carpet is complete without a photographer and backdrop.  Your guests will love it, plus you will have some cool photos to remember your event.

Food and Drinks

Pull out the elegant glassware and have classy cocktails with hors D'oeuvres.

Fun and Games 

An Oscar party would not be complete without some fun games.  Have your guest fill out a ballot when they arrive and place in a ballot box.  You can get your ballot on the Oscar Website  At the end of the night see who wins.  Have a movie related prize for the winner or even a mini Oscar.

Oscar bingo is great fun, your guests are each provided with a bingo card, pen and clipboard.  On the Bingo cards possible actions that may happen on TV are described... "Actor thanks the Academy", "Actor cries" or "Frozen wins an award". As the Oscars unfold you cross of actions.  Five in a row wins.  Here are some Oscar bingo cards to download.

Swag Bag

No Hollywood party would be complete without a fancy swag bag with the latest products.  If you have friends with home businesses like Plexus or MaryKay ask for samples to place in the swag bag.

Viewing

Make your viewing area comfortable.  Have places for guests to rest drinks and bingo cards.  If you want it on the big screen, Contact FunFlicks to bring the big screen to you, make sure to check the locations you plan to have a screen have some way of connecting to your TV feed.  On the West coast, if you plan on doing it outside, remember that it is still light when the Oscars start.

And the winner is?

You and your friends

Cheers,
