If you're a movie fan, then you know that the biggest night of the year for Hollywood is the night that they hand out the Academy Awards. Join in on all
the excitement and glamour by hosting you own Academy Awards Party. You can make the evening as simple or as elaborate as you like. Here are some suggestions:
The Tone of the Party
Do you love Black-tie affairs? Then you can have a Black-tie Academy Awards Party complete with a red carpet, hors d'oeuvres and Champaign. If dressing up and drinking
bubbly is not your thing, then you can simply have a group of friends huddle around the television and eat nachos. Its up to you!!
Who to Invite
Not only can your Academy Awards Party be a fun event, it can also be a great way to meet new people and make new friend. Here's how:
First make a list of people that you know who love to go to the movies. Add to that list the people you know who simply love a good party. Then think about people who you would like to get to know better and perhaps
befriend such as your new neighbor or a co-worker and add him or her to the list. Ask each person you invite to bring someone to the party that you do now know. By asking
your guests to bring a friend, you will surely get to meet some great new people.
Food and Drink
Do you want to serve the type of hors d'oeuvres and other foods the Oscar winners will be having at the big Academy Awards bashes in Hollywood? You can make your favorite hors d'oeuvres yourself, or you can have the
affair catered. Check out www.appetizerstogo.com where you can have delectable appetizers like Beef Wellington and coconut shrimp shipped to your doorstep. Of course, you can also
serve the traditional party foods like buffalo chicken wings, mini egg rolls, chips and dip. Whatever you decide.
Of course in Hollywood the Dom Perignon will be flowing and if you choose to, you can serve Champaign as well. If you friends would prefer beer or even nonalcoholic beverages, then serve that instead. The point of
the party is not really to impress, but to enjoy.
Decorations
You can go all out with decorations and have a red carpet, balloons and little plastic Oscar statuettes and more. Check out your local party store, or go to www.themepartiesnmore.com where
they have a wide selection of decorating ideas for all sorts of theme parties.
Fun and Games
So you've decided to have an Academy Awards party, but most of your friends aren't really into award shows. Well, there are many things you can do besides listen to boring acceptance speeches and endure a myriad of commercials. Print
out an official Academy Award ballot from www.oscars.com and present a prize to the person who guesses the winner for the major categories such as Best Picture or Best Actress. Make up an Academy Awards
trivia game to play during the duller moments. At one party I attended, each guest was given an opportunity to give an acceptance speech for winner an Oscar and it was absolutely hilarious.
An Academy Awards party, or any party for that matter, can be a great way to have a lot of fun, widen your circle of acquaintances, and get closer to the friends you already have. So start planning your party today!
