La Vie En Rose Oscar Party

The envelope, s'il vous plait! All the buzz around the Oscar-nominated French film, La Vie En Rose, got us hungry for a taste of Paris this Oscar party season. With divine cheeses, foie gras and music that will make your heart melt, this Oscar party will unleash your inner foreign film buff!

La Vie En Rose Ambience

Marion Cotillard’s Oscar-worthy performance in La Vie En Rose as singer, Edith Piaf, is nothing less than monumental. To honor her performance, invite your guests over to celebrate Hollywood’s 80th Academy Awards with an Oscar party beginning with a La Vie En Rose e-card.

Want your guests to feel the music and taste the love of Paris? Mais Oui! With one easy click of the remote, transport them to the streets of Paris with the heartfelt songs of Edith Piaf.

Decorate your dining area like a French bistro equipped with crisp white linens, potted geraniums, pepper mills, small wine glasses and long French baguettes wrapped in paper.

Accent your tables with black and white photos of Paris, miniature Eiffel Towers, French flags and French-themed jigsaw puzzles. For more tips on how to set a show-stopping tablescape, watch my video!

Of course, request that your guests wear French berets in red, white, blue or black.

Cocktails and Wine

A Frenchman is not complete without a stylish cocktail or glass of wine in-hand.

How about a French Kiss? Absolument! Savor the French flavor and sip on a specialty cocktail or deux or trois.

I have collected other great international cocktail recipes for you. Watch my video, Cocktails from Around the World, for added je ne sais quoi.

Be sure to have plenty of red wine flowing to accompany your cheeses. For additional pairing advice, check out my tips on Red Wine and Cheese Pairing.
