How to throw an Oscar Party

I know what you're thinking "isn't it a Hollywood theme?" yes but you can do different things than just put up some Hollywood signs and stars. Creating a theme can bring your party to life!

Here are some suggestions:

Have a "You are the Star" Party. This is where all your guests get the star treatment. Put their names on Walk of Fame stars as they arrive. Take pictures of each of your guests as they arrive and ask them crazy questions, just like the pre shows ;)

Have a "Stars from the Past" Party. This is a fun theme for the crowd that likes to dress up for the Oscars. You can even send a list of acotrs and actresses that your guests can choose from, once the party starts, you can play a game where you have to ask questions to each guests to figure out who they are. You can also have an award show for the different costumes.

Have a "Hollywood Movie" Theme. This is a party where all the decorations and food are based on a movie, like The Dark Knight, Casablanca, Star Wars, Indiana Jones just to give you ideas. You can do a theme based on a favorite movie too. Ask your guests to dress for the time period and if the film is in black and white, use black and white party paper and wear black and white clothes. This is the perfect party for the BIG movie buffs.

These invitations are perfect for Oscar Parties! They fold out just like the envelopes at the award show! Give all the details as far as theme and dress, time and date. These come in a pack of 8.
