[custom_adv] There are two ways to approach this: You can make it a black tie event, with men expected to arrive in tuxedos and women in gowns. If you think your guests won't have tuxes and gowns at the ready, you might suggest a few costume or vintage stores where they can find affordable options. [custom_adv] Alternatively, you can ask guests to come dressed as their favorite movie actors and actresses. The latter can make for a fun guessing game and encourage guests to mingle. [custom_adv] If the red carpet and velvet ropes aren't enough to indicate where the party is, place movie clapboard signs along the road. Outside, along the red carpet, energize the space with twinkling lights. They'll make it look like paparazzi are snapping away. You can also line the walkway with star-shaped helium balloons. [custom_adv] And if space allows, install full-length mirrors along the walkway and inside, so the lights bounce everywhere and the decked-out guests can get a glimpse of how glamorous they look. [custom_adv] If your party is for watching the Oscars broadcast, you won't need music once the show starts, so you don't really need live performances. You can save money and emphasize the Oscar theme by playing movie theme songs over speakers placed along the red carpet. [custom_adv] [custom_adv] If you're throwing an Oscar-watching bash, be sure there are plenty of projectors and projection screens around the seating area, and you might even consider installing LCD panels at lobby areas, near bathrooms, and by the bar area to be sure no one misses a moment of the show. [custom_adv] No respectable red carpet event is without a paparazzi frenzy, and here's an opportunity to invite some unusual participation to fill these roles. Imagine inviting guests' children to serve as paparazzi! The kids will enjoy being involved in the event by snapping pics of their parents', and those shots will be memorable for years. [custom_adv] The kids can then be whisked off to bed by the babysitter after the adults have walked the red carpet.After they've walked the carpet, how else should guests be greeted but with a flute of champagne or sparkling water? [custom_adv] Either have trays of bubbly placed just inside the venue so they can pick them up as they enter, or have caterers personally serve the champagne glasses on shiny trays. You can also rent a champagne fountain so guests can help themselves.
