Oscar Party Ideas

Entertaining, Lifestyle

Thank you to Cost Plus World Market for sponsoring this post. As always all opinions are 100% my own and honest

Oscar party time is here and oscar party tips is what we need. If you know me, the last time I hosted the Oscars was 2011. No joke, 2011. Since then I have spent it in my pajamas sipping on, well, tea, and Milano cookies. But, it’s 2017 and times are changing. Life is not as long as we thought, and the years are flying by. So, this year I joined forces with the amazing and beautiful CJ from All Dressed Up With Nothing to Drink and Cost Plus World Market to grab our friends, and well strangers/neighbors, to enjoy a night at a killer local venue in Chicago and enjoy food, drinks, and celebrities. If you are hosting here are some tips, if you have no plans, well then, join me! Seriously, invite at the bottom of the post.

Oscar Party Tips & Ideas

First You Need Drinks

Any good party needs a signature cocktail. Now I am no mixologist so having the party at a restaurant was key. Their own mixologist will put together a special cocktail for the evening, most likely it will include some bubbly for the occasion. If you are not headed out, you can grab some Segura Viuda (aka bubbly) and Limoncellino from Cost Plus World Market and make a quick and simple Limoncello Cocktail. You know this is the route I would do cause it’s easy and quick to make for each guest.

Step 1

All you have to do is pour your champagne into your flutes, aren’t these from World Market the cutest glammiest flutes

Step 2

Then, add a splash of their Lemoncellino

Step 3

Rim the top of these glammy flutes with sugar and add a lemon slice

Second You Need Nibbles

Okay, so another plus about having it at a restaurant is the food. You can have them make a preset spread, and a salad that guest can enjoy. You know, it’s the Oscar’s we aren’t going to be chowing down on burgers while watching gorgeous ladies at their finiest. So, a perfect charcuterie board, a delish salad and some meatballs will hit the spot.

Third You Need Sweets

We all know that when we get together sweets are a good thing. But we don’t want to go crazy on a huge piece of cake, okay maybe we do, but some small chocolate bites, like World Markets —–, and gummi bears are just our friends. Love that World Market sells a huge bag of these! Now, I can’t just throw them in a dish at an Oscar Party, so here I placed them in Apothecary Jars from World Market. They are a steal and come in a variety of sizes. Hey, and later you can use them in your bathroom to store Q-tips and cotton balls. Just sayin’

    This setup is super inspiring to me! I am all about a chic bar cart and fabulously displayed beverages. You nailed it. I am heading to World Market to see if they have more of these gold glasses!

  2. Tereza says

    Can I come over too please? The set up looks amazing – probably the best house party decor I’ve ever seen. The cocktails look dreamy! x

  6. Terri Steffes says

    In love with the gold glasses! I have to see if our World Market has them. My daughter is in Chicago and loves the city. She’s been there less than a year and says she will never move!

  11. Robin Rue says

    This is such a beautiful party setup. Those drinks are so tempting! I love all the gold colors.

  12. Reesa Lewandowski says

    OH I am obsessed with the look of your tablescape!! How fun!!! I am not even sure when the Oscars are honestly!

  13. Di Hickman says

    Love this! And yes World Market has a trove of treasures just waiting to be found. Those glasses are so cool, love the whole layout and vibe you created!

  14. Heather says

    What a beautiful spread! We used to do a big thing for the Oscar’s, but now with really little kids…it just doesn’t work the same. Looks like you are going to have an awesome night!

  15. Kiwi says

    This look like a chic set up for the upcoming Oscars! Anything with sprinkles of gold will be a hit. I am rooting for Moonlight, Hidden Figures and Fences this weekend!

  17. Lydia says

    OK, you’re setup is SO cute and fun!! How crazy is it that I’ve never watched the Oscars? I would totally come to this party, though, haha!

  20. Brittany says

    I’ve always wanted to throw an Oscar party! It would be such a fun thing to do with my girlfriends and I love all of your decorations! It looks so fun!

  21. Dawn McAlexander says

    The Oscars and the Grammys are the only two awards shows that I just can’t miss every year. My husband and I will sit there and each of us will try to guess who is going to win. It is so much fun.

  23. Jessica says

    Love the set up I’m a huge fan of themed parties I’ve actually never thought of doing one for award shows but it’s definitely on my to do list now
