Celebrate Oscar season by throwing a Hollywood-themed bash in your Willow Hill apartment! We’ve got some ideas for treats, activities, and movies for your Oscar evening here in Puyallup, WA.
Get in the mood for award winning by watching one of these past Oscar winners. Try watching One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest (1975) or Gone With the Wind (1939) for an old classic. For some fantasy, watch Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003). Titanic (1997) or Shakespeare in Love (1998) are great award-winning romance movies you’ll certainly love.
As for the party, encourage your guests to dress up to keep with the old Hollywood theme! Visit a local thrift shop for a vintage-looking getup a la Audrey Hepburn or Cary Grant. Create a photo booth backdrop for some fun Instagram pictures! Even your own hashtag for the event will be fun for your guests who love to snap photos. Consider hiring a few photographer friends to show up as “paparazzi” for your guests!
Vote on your favorite movies of the season and which ones you think will win. Create voting ballots for your guests. Award the winners with pretend Oscars made from small plastic figurines spray painted gold.
For decorations, try one of these fun ideas from Better Homes & Gardens. We especially love the sparkly stars. The bow tie napkins add a really authentic touch your guests will certainly love. Certainly, any decorations of the gold and glamorous persuasion will be just right. Don’t feel like you have to have a Star Wars sized budget either! Your local dollar store is a great place to start when planning decorations for your party.
Fun drinks like sparkling cider or champagne will certainly keep with the glamorous theme. Small decadent desserts will make your guests feel like celebrities. Have fun at your Oscar-themed party and don’t forget to watch the actual award show!
