How To Host Your Own Oscar® Watch Party

Nothing quite compares to the glamour of old Hollywood�why not capture that refined ambiance with black-and-white d�cor and a menu of elevated treats? A Spicy Pear-Tini, for example that pays homage to the ritzy cocktail of yore with a stylish twist. While the stars take the stage, you�ll dazzle at home. This fete is all fun, no-stress with everything falling into place well before the red carpet arrivals start.

Curate the Menu

There’s an unapologetic luxury in this selection—rich delicacies presented without a lot of tricky sleight of hand. Flaky mini-tarts, iced cookies, and carrot soup shooters satisfy, while additional store-bought treats such as dark chocolate, luscious grapes, and figs, and sumptuous cheeses never looked more irresistible than when played off the stark two-toned palette. It all works especially well with sparkling wine.

Curated for you, with recipes available, are three signature menu items that you can take as suggestions or guidelines in serving your red carpet guests!

  • Signature Drink: Spicy Pear-tini
  • Hors-d’oeuvres: Caramelized Onion & Goat Cheese Tarts and Creamy Carrot Soup Shooters
  • Dessert: Black & White Cookies
Plan an Activity

Everyone wins when playing the Oscar lottery—especially if the prize is a bottle of Champagne. Find downloadable ballots online to use as a template, but do take the time to personalize yours, printing them on nice heavy stock or foil-flecked stationery.

Team up film aficionados with less confident players to ensure fun for all. If kids are coming, provide an activity for them as well to keep them entertained. Set out cording, scissors, and a bowl of alphabet beads, and invite them to make bracelets, necklaces, and key chains of their own design.
