A Quick Reference Guide to Throwing Your Own Oscar Party

If you've always wanted to throw an Oscar Party but don't know quite where to start, now is the perfect time to learn. This quick reference guide will help kickstart your inspiration and put together a fabulous soiree faster than you can say, "I'd like to thank the Academy."

Go All Out with the Snacks and Mini-Games. 
During the long breaks between segments, hand out your own awards and themed dessert foods as fun treats for your friends and loved ones. Example: Studio DIY has a great tutorial for balloon awards.

Confetti is Your Best Friend. 
One of the best things about Oscar night is how similar it is on its surface to New Year's Eve. The more gold and glitz, the more immersive the atmosphere. It may be tough to clean up, but stocking up on gold confetti is a fabulous - and affordable - way to put your guests in a glamourous mood.

It's All About the Champagne. 
No Oscar party would be complete without a little bit of bubbly. Thankfully, there are countless champagne cocktail recipes out there that are not only easy to master, but ultimately delicious ways to celebrate the night.
