Invite your friends to an oscar ceremony & an evening with the stars
|
|
Raid the Christmas box & write invitations on gold stars. Alternatively, cut out your own from stiff card & spray with gold paint. Other templates used could be the comedy/tragedy masks & the Oscar statue. |
Buy
a copy of Hello magazine & cut & paste pictures of
celebrities onto the front of a folded piece
of
card. Write the party details on the inside.
Draw
& cut out a gold star approx. 3 inches wide & glue onto a
folded piece of card. Draw & cut
out
a piece of film & glue artistically over the star. Write the
party details in each frame.
|
Decorate
the venue with as much glitz as you can. Gold stars, swathes of gold
& red material & glitter. If you can manage a red carpet at
the entrance, so much the better.
|
|
Cover
the table with a white cloth & decorate with gold material down
the centre or spray dried
flowers
gold & arrange with greenery for a centre piece.
Use
gold candles, serviettes & serving platters to compliment your
own crockery.
Sand
down some old wooden chairs, spray gold & cover with a red cushion.
Transform
cheap glasses with gold & silver relief paint.
|
Ask guests to come as a famous actor/actress or depicting their favourite film (be prepared for the Incredible Hulk gracing your elegant diner party if you go for the latter). |
|
For
a large gathering, go for a glitzy buffet. With celebrities, looks
are everything so it's the
presentation
that counts. Serve food on gold platters with artistic garnishes.
