Oscar Parties Wish you could go the Oscars and spend an amazing evening with the Hollywood's finest? Well, there's a way to at least feel like you're there by throwing your own Oscar party! Oscar night is going to be on March 7, 2010, so get your preparations together now so your party will go off without a hitch! Check out some of the ideas below to throw a bash that you and your friends will never forget.

Preparation & Decorating

Decorations  Have fun with decorations! A "Hollywood" sign is a must. Cut up  an old box to make the letters. Buy a red, banquet sized table cloth  for the "red carpet" and don't forget to set up a place for the photos. Drape a wall with a nice curtain for the background.	Goody Bags  Prepare some fun goody bags  as a thank you present for all of your guests! Fill it with an Oscar-winning film,  movie tickets, popcorn,  chocolate  or a gift certificate. Have fun and be creative!	Evening Gowns  You can find some amazing evening gowns online or at your favorite, local consignment store.	Invitations  You can get really formal without getting really pricey. Make your own lovely invitations! Check out vistaprint.com for supplies and ideas.

Food & Beverage

Catering  Make sure your guests feel special by having someone serve them drinks  and hor d'oeuvres.  And you don't have to pay an arm and a leg for a fancy service; just recruit a friend!	Hors D'oeuvres  Don't just serve cheese and crackers,  go all out! Check out some of the best, fanciest hors d'oeuvres recipes by clicking here.	Drinks  No girl's night out is complete without some tasty cocktails! Check out teaforte.com for some great cocktail mixes.

Fun & Games

Awards  Prior to the show, give out your own awards. Award friends with best dress, hair or make-up. Or get creative and give awards for best celebrity imitation or best celebrity look-alike.	Icebreakers  Over the course of the party, put a sticker on the back of each lady with a famous actresses name; they then will have to ask other women for clues about who they are--this gets everyone comfortable talking to each other.
