Oscar Party Essentials!

Scanning the web this week, I have come across a number of yummy treats, fabulous outfits and other creative ideas showcased to enhance the viewing experience for tonight's Academy Awards. I am always so inspired by the creativity of others! Here is some of the best stuff I found out there. Makes me want to skip that "grading party" I was about to throw myself (as fun as grading 9th grade students' essays about Greek mythology can be) and call up some girlfriends to host a little shindig!


1. This first "Oscar Party Kit" comes from The Academy itself. Search here to find some great cocktail & appetizer recipes along with some amazing freebies- Oscar ballot cards and even Oscar bingo!

2. Wise Bread also has some great budget-friendly ideas for hosting the star-studded event. I love the quirky idea of placing a mustache on your TV screen to catch a glimpse at an unsuspecting star with facial hair!

3. Party ideas from Evite include invitations (of course!) & a playlist from previous Oscar winners.


If I were lucky enough to host my own event this evening, it would include all of the following goodies. What's an Oscar party without gold?
