\"Oscar<\/p>\n

Set the Scene<\/h4>\n

A full-scale Hollywood production isn\u2019t necessary, but a few stylish touches can elevate the evening. Think moody lighting, a chic colour palette (black, gold and red never fail) and a few movie-inspired decor elements. Set up a DIY photo booth with fun props and faux awards; light some candles to create that effortlessly cool ambience.<\/p>\n

Dress Up<\/h4>\n

Encourage guests to dress up just enough to make it feel special\u00a0\u2013\u00a0think cocktail attire, a statement accessory or even pyjamas with a fashionable twist. A \u2018Come as Your Favourite Nominee\u2019 theme is always fun, whether dressed as the sandworm from Dune or Glinda from Wicked. Keep it fun!<\/p>\n

Serve the Best Snacks<\/h4>\n

No party is complete without a delicious spread\u00a0\u2013 this is your chance to get creative. Elevate the classic movie snacks \u2013\u00a0think popcorn cooked in truffle oil, gourmet nachos<\/a> or classic milkshakes<\/a>. Themed cocktails<\/a> (like a \u2018Golden Negroni\u2019 or a \u2018Cinematic Spritz\u2019) will keep things exciting. If you’re throwing a fancy Oscar viewing party, impress friends with Champagne along some sweet and savoury treats.<\/p>\n

And the Winner Is\u2026<\/h4>\n

Make the night interactive with Oscar ballots \u2013\u00a0have everyone fill out their winner predictions before the show starts; the person with the most correct guesses wins a fun prize (mini Cap Classique bottles, a movie gift card or just bragging rights). Add a drinking game or bingo card featuring classic Oscar tropes (tearful speeches, awkward audience reactions, unnecessary musical numbers, terrible jokes) for some extra entertainment.<\/p>\n

Keep It Cute & Cosy<\/h4>\n

Yes, it\u2019s the biggest night in Hollywood, but you\u2019re still watching from your couch. Ensure there\u2019s ample seating with cosy throws and cushions, so guests can settle in for the long haul. With all the speeches, performances and commercial breaks, you\u2019ll want to be comfy.<\/p>\n

Roll the Credits<\/h4>\n

Wrap up the night with an award show of your own. Hand out fun, faux awards to your guests \u2013\u00a0Best Dressed, Most Dramatic Reaction or Best Fake Acceptance Speech. It\u2019s the perfect way to end things on a high note and keep the entertainment going.<\/p>\n
