    Entertaining, Grown-up Parties, Sponsored

    These Oscar party ideas will help you recreate the glitz and glamour of Hollywood’s biggest night in your home.

    I have always dreamed of being a part of Hollywood’s biggest night…

    Flash bulbs popping, I make my way down the Red Carpet in my vintage Valentino dress, Louboutin stilettos and borrowed Harry Winston jewels, arm in arm with Hugh Jackman.

    Hey, a gal can dream…

    Celebrate like the stars with these Oscar party ideas featuring food and decor from World Market. This Oscars party is all about glitz and glamour with a menu modeled after Wolfgang Puck's annual Governors Ball for the Academy Awards

    Since the Academy hasn’t sent me a ticket for the Oscars, I threw my own glamorous and glitzy Hollywood gala.

    It was so fun to see everyone decked out in jewels and sequins and sparkles.

    My friend, Alex, wore this gorgeous amethyst necklace that was a gift to her mother from a real Oscar winner! (Alex’s mom was a ballerina and her best friend was married to José Ferrer, who won the best actor award in 1951 for his performance as Cyrano de Bergerac. Pretty cool, huh? Just by six degrees of separation, I think I can say I’ve met an Oscar winner, right?)

    We had lots of great gourmet food to go along with our bubbly.

    As is tradition at the Governors Ball, I focused on appetizer-sized portions of gourmet comfort food. Most everything, except the garnishes and a few fresh ingredients, came from World Market. The store also has a great assortment of serving pieces and entertaining essentials that made setting my table easy.

      I love all your ideas! Before I had kids, my friend and I used to throw Oscar Parties too (although nowhere near as fabulous as yours). My brother-in-law was actually being mentioned for an editing nomination a few years back and I was probably more bummed than anyone in the family that he didn’t get it. It would have been so cool to actually know somebody that was a part of it!!! Anyway, you’ve given me some great ideas for when I decide to throw another one of these parties!!!

      Where did you buy the black and gold Oscar gift/swag bags? Where can I get the flowers you put in each one?

        Hi Krissy:

        I made the swag bags using black paper bags and gold vinyl Oscar statues I cut using my Silhouette machine. I wrote a post with all the details here: http://www.attagirlsays.com/2015/02/16/oscars-party-favors/. It includes the free cut files, if you have a Silhouette.

        And the flowers are from http://www.bloomatini.com. They can customize them to your liking, with different colored flowers, leaves and messages on the leaves. I hope this helps!
