Plan a successful Oscar party with these ideas for a glamorous event with lots of unique touches.
Start the party at least an hour before the awards show begins. You and your guests can enjoy appetizers, drinks and conversation before the focus turns to the night's big winners.
If weather permits, host your Oscar party outdoors. Broadcast the awards show using a couple of big screen TVs.
Save money on a full bar by serving one or two signature cocktails. Choose your drink based on favorites of the era such as a chocolate martini or cosmopolitan. Of course, you still need enough champagne to last the night.
Have a stash of vintage star props - feather boas, sunglasses, cigars and hats - for guests to wear. They are sure to inspire fun photo opportunities.
Even though watching the Academy Awards is the main event of the party, consider a simple trivia game to go along with the show. As awards are given out, ask guests for names of classic movies or stars that have previously won.
