It’s time for the Oscar’s so have a golden celebration with your friends.

Server some tasty food that catches everyone’s eye by accenting the gold.  Decorate your table with red and gold like this one.  Make your guests feel really special by using gold flatware.  What about a baked potato bar using gold foil to wrap them in.  Meatball Sliders and Parmesan-Stuffed Dates wrapped in bacon would be great finger food to serve.  For dessert serve cakes have a gold topping.  These cookie awards are a great award for the end of the night from Bakerella.  Some Oscar drinks to serve are Liquid Gold; Avatar – Blue Angel; The Blind Side – Sidecar; and the Oscar Manhattan.  To keep your guests entertained during the night, be sure to download your own ballots from Twig and Thistle.

Hope you have a glamorous night!

After seeing this party, I had to feature some of the great ideas!  This was a housewarming party with a marshmallow roast & red wine toast.

A gourmet s’more bar was set up near the fire with easy access to all the roasting supplies and extra goodies.

There were spices set out to enhance the s’mores.

How great is this s’more tree!!!

They also served milk and coffee with marshmallow stir sticks.

I love how the word Toast was etched with cinnamon on the glasses!

New Year has come and gone but the Chinese New Year gives us another reason to celebrate.  2010 is the Year of the Tiger.  February 14th is the date that the Year of the Tiger begins.

Paper lanterns are always a great and simple way to decorate.  Use bright colors such as red and orange.  Serve traditional Chinese food and drinks and use chopsticks to eat with and as decorations.

Here is another great Chinese themed party from Design Dump that I first found on Kara’s Party Ideas.

Even if you are not from the Chinese culture, it is always fun to celebrate and learn new customs!
