Fun Ideas for Hosting an Academy Awards Party (2/27)


Will you be watching the Oscar's this weekend?  Unlike the tumultuous relationships of Hollywood, the timeless pairing of movies and popcorn will last forever.  In honor of the Oscars, America’s “popcorn authority,” The Popcorn Factory and Celebrations.com expert, Coryanne Ettiene, have a few tips on how you can host an award-winning soiree this Sunday (2/27).

  • Play Dress-Up: Everybody has a fancy outfit, worn one special night and then tucked away in the closet forever.  Put these festive frocks to use by inviting your guests to dress-up for your Oscar viewing party. 

  • Paparazzi: Make hilarious lasting memories by appointing someone as the “paparazzi” to snap photos, and then invite your guests to play fashion police and choose the best and worst dressed guests.


  • Serve the “Red Carpet” in Flutes: Serve “red-carpet” sparkling punch by mixing equal parts of lemon-lime soda, cranberry juice and seltzer water. 

  • Be the Academy: Let your guests pick their own list of winners, reward the person who best picks the talent and ask them to do an acceptance speech when receiving their prize.

Whether you're hosting a party this Sunday or plan to watch the Oscars in your PJ's, I thought these tips might inspire you for future events, too!  I used to be an event planner and love new ideas for entertaining!
