Summary: Life-size movie star stand-ups add life to an Oscar party. Liven up an Oscar party with celebrity cut-outs with tips from an experienced party planner in this free video on party planning.
"Now something that's really fun to have at your parties would be a life size cut-out or standee of a star. Now, these will be great for photo ops for your guests to come pose with their favorite stars. Or it looks really good if you have all of your guests line up and then just throw in a couple of the stars in the mix and they'll just look like some real celebrities came to your Oscar Night Party too. Now make sure that people aren't going to be bumping them around. So put them maybe near a wall and not just right in the middle of the room where they can just be knocked over and bent up because the back is just folded cardboard. So you don't want that to be ruined or trampled upon. Now another final thing to do with standees is instead of just having them you know standing there looking flat, you can try decorating your decorations. You can throw a boa over Marilyn Monroe and give it kind of that three-D effect. So it looks a it just looks funner and it kind of pops when you walk by it instead of just a flat surface. Now you can also get a cop for your Oscar Night Party because there's definitely going to be a lot of security on the red carpet so you don't want anybody doing anything crazy to all your celebrity friends that are coming. So like this one we've put a hat on him. It might not really go with his uniform, but it still makes it look kind of fun. Or if you don't want to go the standee route, you can just grab life size posters like our friend Sara Michelle over here. Or but it's a lot more fun because these standees are movable and your friends can pose with them or you know get behind them, and they will look real more realistic in any pictures or photo shoots that you end up doing throughout the night."
