Inspiration Station: Oscar Is On His Way

I.am.obsessed.with.award.shows. That is a basic fact about me. My top three favorites are the Emmys, The Golden Globes, and best award show ever is of course, the Oscars. Luckily there are more than a few likeminded people in the event planning world and I found a complete Oscar party set up already! As if that was not enough excitement for me, this post also includes FREE printables to create your own party! Hello, free is always awesome.

This being said, I have not held a full-on Oscar party yet. I usually get together with a few girlfriends to enjoy some wine and give our opinions/yell at the tv during the red carpet- and this year is no different. Seeing this set up makes me really excited for possibly planning a party next year. I would love to incorporate a pool to see who guesses the winners and maybe add in some delicious desserts in a nod to the nominees- this year I'm making Black Swan brownies and I believe there was mention of True Grits being served. Since variety is the spice of life, I was really excited to see this post with some great ideas on creating your own affordable (key word!) Oscars party. Creating a movie snack area with popcorn, sno-cones, and milk duds will definitely be a hit. And this post offers more great ideas plus an Oscars themed cake! It really is up to you on how elaborate you want to be- from Oscar invitations to prizes to framing past winners as decor, there are so many options. Whatever you decide to do, I hope you enjoy Hollywood's biggest night as much as I know I will!
