Watch Party Archives - The Party Place

To be completely honest, I really do not know what happens at the Oscars. I never know who wins and much less do I know who was nominated. If you ask me for even a movie that has won an Oscar, I can guarantee I would not give a correct answer.

Tragic? Yes, depending on who you are and how much you like films and awards shows.

Anyhow, just because I may know very little about the Oscars does not mean I do not know how to throw an Oscars watch party!

My idea of a watch party is a little different than others. Honestly, the whole watch party thing is really just a cover for a cool theme. The theme? The Oscars!

Roll out the red carpet, dust off the tuxedo jacket, and strap on those stilettos!

Yes, that is exactly what I am suggesting… your very own Oscars!

It really does not have to be intense or fancy, the easiest thing to do is just to provide a dress code, get a few appropriate decorations, and serve some champagne. Then, you have yourself one suave and sophisticated party.

I think the dress code can be anything from snazzy cocktail wear to full-on white tie if you are feeling boujee. Things like suits, ties, tuxedos, long evening dresses, elegant heels, and so forth will do some wonders to create cohesion in the theme. Just be sure to say so on your invites.

Party Place has tons of options for decorations, so whether or not you are wanting to get deep in the theme or keep things simple, they have you covered.

Definitely check out the Star Party Place Cards to get that Hollywood Star looks in a simple and subtle way on the table decorations. Keeping with the theme, the Awards Nights tassels definitely give that star-in-the-night vibe without breaking the bank!

Not to mention, to really be on theme and make this a proper watch party, check out the Awards Night game cards! These are sure to be a fun way to get your guests involved with the Oscars and get participatory during the night.

See? It is as simple as that to get a sophisticated, elegant, but fun party together. Check out the rest of the Party Place awards night decorations for even more inspiration.

Well, the holiday of love has come and gone, and you’re either feeling lovey-dovey or sad because you’re single. This is not to bring your spirits down, I am simply just speaking the truth. Not gonna lie, I might be a tad bit of the second option at the moment. Anyhow, the point is that we’re all still thinking about love. Now, what better way to celebrate (or cry) about love than to throw a Bachelor watch party?

By now, we’ve gotten to know our guy, Matt James, a little bit better, as well as the women on the show this season, so this means it is the perfect time to throw a Bachelor watch party. It’s simple really… get a few rose petals sprinkled on the ground, some delicious snacks, and of course, some type of game to keep track of the oh-so-many times something dramatic happens. We’ll come back to the game in a second.

First and foremost, a watch party doesn’t need a lot to be great, you just need great company! However, to really add a little spice to your watch party to make it unforgettable, add little decorations that add to the corniness of the show. (trust me, your friends will think it is the cutest thing ever.) Rose petals are a surefire way to get that vibe of “looking for love on reality tv.” They are a great space filler without being too work-intensive, heck you could just throw them on a table or the ground, and they look great!

Next, we need the snacks. I suggest finger foods that people can munch on all night long. It could be as simple as chips and dip, pretzels, and something sweet like cookies. Again, think simple! This doesn’t need to be a big ordeal, people are always satisfied with a plate full of Oreos and chips, I mean… who isn’t. Anyways, the real fun is in the game you come up with to play during the show!

You can find tons of different game cards and rules on Pinterest, so I will be sharing one of my favorite ideas with you. The best one has to be a drinking game for every time a contestant does something. You don’t have to use alcohol if that’s not your thing, feel free to sub with a fun punch, sodas, or anything else you’d like! Nothing can’t be more fun than laughing and being with friends at tacky reality TV!
