I am so excited to share the details from my Oscar party with all of you. This is Part 1 of a two-part blog. Part 2 includes a fabulous giveaway. And when I say fabulous, I mean you absolutely don’t want to miss the chance to enter.
I had so much fun hosting my very first Oscar party, sponsored by Orville Redenbacher’s and their new Pop Up Bowl! It was a small party of 10 people and each of my guests got to take home some fun jewelry, a free Redbox rental, and a box of Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowls.
We played Oscar BINGO throughout the night and the BINGO card included things like “someone brings mom as their date” and “wardrobe malfunction.” Last night’s awards show had some low moments, so the BINGO kept the party interesting and made it even more fun for us to pay attention.
We also all filled out Oscar ballots and everyone did really well. Maybe this year’s Oscars were really predictable or maybe we just know a good movie and a good actor when we see one!
The menu included The King’s Tea Cookies, The Cupcakes are All Right (red carpet cupcakes!), Shrimp and True Grits, 7 Layer Dream Dip (idea courtesy of my friend Laura based on the different layers of dreams from Inception), and Blackened Swan Wings. And of course we served delicious popcorn from the Orville Redenbacher’s Pop Up Bowl.
The super easy, super clean Pop Up Bowl! Perfect for family movie nights!
We had a great time watching the Oscars with friends and good food. And now I have some really delicious pop corn recipes to share with all of you later in conjunction with the really fun Oscar party swag bag giveaway!
How fun! Looks like a joyful and memorable night.
