Red Carpet Viewing Party Tips

On Sunday, February 27th, Hollywood will roll out the red carpet and the entire town will celebrate and party for the night.  While Hollywood is hosting its’ big party you should too! Why should the stars have all the fun?

Plan a viewing party for a few friends and make the night a special one in your home.  The entertainment is free, so simply supply a comfortable viewing area and some “goodies” (cocktail, treats and a swag bag). Then, sit back, relax and watch the show with friends.

Here’s How:

Host a dessert and cocktail viewing party at 7:30 pm.  Check out the online invites available at Punchbowl.com.

Serve cupcakes and popcorn – the perfect treats for watching while you eat.  To glam up your cupcakes use gold icing, gold sprinkles and/or stars as your tribute to the little gold man and the evening.

Prepare a signature cocktail for the evening that guests can sip on all night long.  The French 75 is a classic that evokes retro glam and is our pick for this party.  For the “how-to” see our “DIY Video”. 

Gift your guests a Swag Bag to make them feel like stars for the evening.  Treat your guests to the favor that keeps on giving.  Any true Hollywood event is not complete without the swag bag – a bag filled with lots of “swag” (an assortment of goodies.)  Fill the swag bag with treats guests can enjoy all night long and through the next few days. Once the contents are used, guests are left with a great shopping tote.
