Dooley Noted Style: throw a stylish oscar party

Gather the gals (and fellas if they are willing) and throw an Oscar themed party to watch the big show. There are plenty of special touches you can do such as a signature champagne cocktail and setting a dress code urging your friends to be in their Sundays best. Serving stylish bite sized food allows everyone to snack freely. Let's face it watching the movies these actors star in allows them to be so rich, so sit back and pour yourself a glass of champagne and enjoy! You know the stars will be sipping bubbly and probably drunk off one glass after weeks of fasting to fit in their skin tight gowns. A fun way to keep the guests interested in the show when it gets dull (aka during the behind the scenes awards of people you never heard of) is to place small wages on your best actor, actress & movie nominations. Below is an example of a stylish and fun fete with printable decor from one of my favorite blogs - Hostess with the Mostess. And since the Oscars are just a little over a month away there is plenty of time to plan your own little soiree. I also included some additional fun decorations on how you can turn your house into a small replica of the famous event - happy planning!
