Awards shows are the perfect opportunity for a little at home get together with the girls and the Oscars is pretty much the pinnacle of the glam season. With the buzz over this year’s top films (Dallas Buyers Club is my pick!) AND the anticipation of the final big red carpet moments, it’s an event that’s just better when you’re surrounded by friends. As you’re gearing up to red carpet gawk, here are some elements essential to the ultimate Oscars party:

Baileys Over Ice // DIY Oscars Ballot // Starry Chips & Guac

// Movie Theater Popcorn // Star Paper Garland // Half Moon Manicures //

Red Carpet-worthy Sparkle // Classic Movie Theater Candy // Girly Fresh Blooms


From sweet treats and popcorn to star-studded décor, the Oscars is the perfect excuse to go all out and gather the girls around the television. And the celebs shouldn’t be the only ones to enjoy some pampering on the big night! A DIY manicure station to create your own Mani Cam-worthy nail art would be a super fun activity for the girls, and a great way to pass the time during the less exciting categories ;) You can take the spoiling one step further by pouring Baileys over ice for an easy, classic cocktail that everyone will love & doesn’t require an elaborate full bar set up, which is pretty much perfect in my book.

Will you be tuning into the Oscars? Have you ever hosted an awards show watch party?
