3 Easy Oscar Party Ideas: Chic and Simple Decor & Snack Inspiration!

I couldn't wait for Oscar-party-planning-season when I worked at Food Network Magazine! We had a few brilliant editors who always worked on the feature and always came up with the smartest, chicest party ideas for the occasion. These 3 are still my favorites: 

Popcorn Bucket Vase: Buy empty popcorn buckets at a bulk supply or craft stores (or you can ask for one at your local movie theater)! Hide a small vase inside of the bucket and fill with a vampy bouquet of flowers.

Concession Stand Home Bar: Set out a selection of single-serving beverages for your guests (including little splits of champagne, obviously)! Add a few boxes of movie candy to complete the look.

Wonton Envelop Cookies: Click here for the full recipe. It’s super easy. Just brush the edges of 1 square wonton wrapper with beaten egg white, fold in the edges and deep fry.

Actually! Katie, our resident craft-lover at Good Housekeeping, just published a killer Oscar Party blog post on the GH Blog, including homemade popcorn boxes (with 5 flavored popcorn ideas) and a great playlist. Head over to the GH blog, if you're interested! xo Erin
