How to Throw a Hollywood Awards Season Party

There are plenty of awards shows that you can celebrate with your friends during awards season. While all of the Hollywood parties are going on and the stars are out and about, you can throw a great party for all of your friends so you can have a celebration of your own. With a little bit of imagination and a way to watch the red carpet, your awards season party can soon be under way!

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Things You’ll Need:

• Television for watching your chosen Hollywood awards telecast
• Guest list filled with friends and/or family members who enjoy celebrity sightings, movies, television and more
• Light decorations
• Refreshments
• Invitations

1. Setting a date for your awards season party will be critical to your event. After all, you will want to find out exactly when the date of the telecast of the awards show that you have chosen, whether it is the Golden Globes, Oscars, and so on. By picking the specific date, you can guarantee the showing and then put together your guest list accordingly.
2. A gathering of good friends for good times! Putting together your guest list is another important step of the process where you can begin to select the individuals that you know who would love to enjoy the awards show as well as all of the festivities that you have chosen for the night. Friends, relatives and of course co-workers always make great candidates for guests at your awards season party to celebrate all that movie and television magic has to offer.
3. Decide on your location. If you want to have the party at your residence, then make sure that you plan your guest list according to how much room you have. When you are going to be renting an alternate location, you need to make sure that you have the means to broadcast the awards show for all of your guests to see. For awards season parties with a larger budget, you can always bring in several rented screens.
4. When it comes to any decorations that you may want to have, you can always go with cutouts or even posters that have to do with movies or television shows and actors/actresses from the past year. Silver accents always work well and even white and silver balloons can help keep the atmosphere festive and elegant. Of course you cannot forget to have your own little version of the red carpet set up somewhere in the room. You may even want to let your guests have the opportunity to have their pictures taken red carpet style!

Tips & Warnings

• Shimmery curtains and accents around your windows can add a dramatic effect to your awards season parties.
• You may want to set up some sort of a poll or contest to see if your guests can pick some of the winners of the awards for the evening.
