Oscar Party

If you’re a fan of fashion, watching the Oscars is an absolute must. I love seeing all the looks that come down the red carpet. It’s so much fun to get inspired and try to think of ways to recreate the look in a more casual, normal person way. So throwing and going to Oscar parties is always a lot of fun for me. Here are my essentials for a good Oscars Party:

1. Cute Invites: Set the tone of the evening from the beginning. If you’re going for a glam theme, use a glam invite. If it’s more casual, reflect that in the invitation. I personally love to use Paperless Post. It’s quick, easy and free. Plus the designs are super freakin’ cute and I can’t get enough of em.

2. Fresh Bites: No matter who you are, you need to eat. Nothing sucks more than being stuck somewhere without any food. Or is that just me? Either way, you should provide your guests with little snacks, or a meal if you’re gettin’ real fancy, for the evening.

3. A Tasty Cocktail: Ok, I lied. There is something worse than no food at a party: no booze. One great option for an Oscars Party is Bailey’s. It is undeniably delicious and there are so many yummy recipes you can make with it. Check this one out:
