I love the idea of getting all glam, snacking on treats and (of course) toasting with some bubbly! It’s so festive and there are plenty of ways you can make a game night out of who wins, too.

Get Some Props
It wouldn’t be an Oscar Party without the iconic Oscar!
You can get little Oscar statues here and hand them out to guests for your own mini-awards.
From best dressed to best mani, there are loads of cute ideas on how to get your friends in on the fun.
Create a Photobooth
Every great party needs a Photo Booth/selfie station. So make a backdrop for those amazing photos to happen!
You can keep it simple like with some gold balloons or grab some gold metallic fringe to tape to the walls. (You can see the one I linked in this birthday party post.)
While you’re at it, don’t forget some party props! A selfie stick, some top hats and printable party signs will make it that much more fun.
Get Festive With Your Decor
Dress up the glass! Why should you be the only one dressed to the nines? A cute bowtie and little black stickers is all you need for this fun DIY.
To make the bowties stick, try some adhesive like Zots. I always keep these around for craft projects.
These tuxedo cups from Sprinkle Some Fun blog are so cute and creative! They are a fun DIY project that’s easy to recreate.
These popcorn bags from Laura’s Little Party blog are another fun and festive way to carry the movie night party theme throughout your decor!
Outfit Your Dessert
Theme out your cupcakes with cute Oscar signs. Because, why not? I also like this one and this one.
Bring on the Sparkle
There is no such thing as too much sparkle. So dazzle your eyes and your tastebuds with sparkly donuts. You’ll need edible glitter to pull of this project.
Keep Dinner Simple
For parties like this, it’s best to serve tiny treats. That way, guests can enjoy the show without having to worry about a sit-down dinner situation.
Finger foods like meatballs, or a charcuterie board are things people can eat without utensils and something you won’t have to worry about spilling.
Bring on the Bubbles
You all know I love me some Champagne…and for a night like this you should bring it on!
I also love the idea of serving a signature sparkly cocktail like this one. It’s one of my favorite tricks to keep things simple when hosting a party!

There’s no need to go overboard with your decor when functional elements are part of it! Like these gold confetti glasses, which make a festive addition to your Oscar party. Use them for cocktails or to hold cake pops and dessert!
Create a Popcorn Bar

What comes to mind when you think of the movies? Popcorn, of course! This is one of my favorite Oscar party ideas as it’s fun, cute and so easy to pull off.
You can get cute printable popcorn bags or traditional containers. Then, get a variety of popcorn flavors and add-ins! It’s easy-peasy.
