Oscar Night!

Go glam or go home! That’s Sari Mintz’ Oscar Night motto. As the creative party planner behind customer-driven-designed event accessories, she’s our go-to gal when it comes to spicing up your house party. We gave the For Your Party team an Academy Awards challenge: design an event around two of our favorite Best Picture nominees. Taking cues from the colorful adventures of Life of Pi and a nod to our French friends in Les Miserables, Sari designed an event that will leave your guests glued to the kitchen table instead of the television. Add a custom DIY popcorn bar—Truffle oil, shredded sharp cheddar and herbs de provence, anyone?!—and your celebration of one of the most fun nights in Hollywood just got a red carpet makeover.

Watch our video with Sari below to see the tablescapes and snag two great cocktail recipes—à la Life of Pi and Les Mis—for your Oscar night affair. Don’t forget to download our printable ballot and judge sheets for a little added fun!
