Award season is here! Join us on the red carpet to celebrate the Oscars and host your own Glam Girls Night-In Oscar Party! As a girl I dreamed of being in the movies, and while I never made it to the silver screen I love when award season rolls around. This year I’m embracing my childhood dream of being a star and inviting my girlfriends over to walk the red carpet and attend a VIP night of fun! This Oscars party will feature all the glam of a Hollywood party in the comfort of your own home. So invite your girl friends over and get ready to see who will shine on the red carpet and who will take home top honors on Oscars night.
Everybody loves checking out the red carpet fashion before the awards show starts, so I used that as my inspiration for our Glam Oscars party. I set up a red carpet ready display in my living room so we could stay close to the action on TV.
When I think of Hollywood and the Oscars I think of black tie, red carpet and lots of bling. I kept the colors very traditional for our party and used giant 36" balloons with gold tassel garlands to add a dramatic flair to our display. A simple black table cloth layered with a black and white table runner created a classic feel, along with the all white serving dishes.
Guests could walk down the red carpet and up to the table to grab snacks or a signature Shimmery Raspberry Cocktail from the bar cart. I thought the addition of the Stanchions with Rope was the perfect touch to complete our red-carpet display.
On the table guest found mini martini appetizer glasses with gold glitter bases filed with tomato soup. This is a fun way to serve appetizers and I love that guest can just grab it and go so they don't miss out on any of the action.
I also gave the mini square appetizer bowls a quick makeover and added some gold glitter to those as well. I filled some of them with fruit and the rest with chocolate mousse. On another tray, guests could help themselves to glam Rock Candy Donuts for an extra special sweet treat.
Popcorn is a must for a movie themed party so I filled two large containers with regular and caramel popcorn. I added a little extra sparkle to plain black popcorn boxes with gold glitter washi tape. I think they are most definitely red carpet worthy.
My DIY gold bar cart was stocked with plenty of wine as well as the party's signature drink, a Shimmery Raspberry Cocktail.
This is a celebration fit for the stars! And it's not only perfect for an Oscars watching party, but it would be great for any movie themed celebration too! I may not be accepting a best actress award anytime soon, but hosting this fun and glam Oscars party with my friends made me feel like a winner for the night!
