Easily bring to life an old “Hollywood-Glam” vibe by adding touches of gold and art deco inspired pieces. These gold painted Ken dolls… genius!
2) Food
A good party is only as good as its food. People tend to congregate by the kitchen for a reason right?! So for your Oscar party, be sure to serve up some delicious and on-theme fare.

No movie night is complete without popcorn and that goes for movie awards night too. Be ready with plenty of popcorn so guests can have their pick. Personally, we can’t wait to try the Sriracha flavor!
3) Cocktails
There should be plenty of fun drinks at your party. Particularly if you’re focusing on the old Hollywood glamour theme, as the prohibition era and old Hollywood go hand in hand.

This cocktail is ideal for any Oscar party. It’s as refreshing as it is pretty to look at it. The added gold stirrers perfectly pull this look together.
4) Dress
Be sure to dress the part and let guests know of the dress code beforehand. This is a black tie affair after all!
