Food, Fun and Beauty at Our Oscars Red Carpet Party!
Beauty — By admin on March 9, 2010 at 10:08 pmLast Sunday my friend and I decided to host an Oscar’s Red Carpet Viewing Party. And thanks to my friends at Dove we were able to put on a festive show for a few of our girlfriends.
Dove provided the idea, funds for us to create a bangin’ spread, and a couple of goodies for our guests to take home – who could resist a reason to get the girls together, right?
First up, the menu. Since the Oscar’s on television would be an entire afternoon and evening event, we invited everyone to come over at their leisure and watch the arrivals with us and then stay for dinner.
With that, we put together a platter of vegetables and pita chips to dip in a spinach dip that I made for appetizers. If you’ve never tried Trader Joe’s Multi Grain Pita Chips, I’m telling you, you gotta try ‘em!
For dinner, we made a London Broil over garlic smashed potatoes. For sides, I made individual ramekins of mac and cheese, roasted aparagus, and a spring salad.
Ah, let’s not forget the flowing champagne!
My friend did an amazing job with the table settings. As a part sponsor of our party favors, Milani Cosmetics sent us makeup colors inspired by what they predicted the Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress would be wearing on the red carpet. We took face charts with the look on them as place settings.
Dove also sent us Oscar ballots and we used those as napkin holders – aren’t they adorable?
If you ever need an easy and elegant idea for a centerpiece, pull together a couple of small bowl-shaped vases and fill them with colored rose petals (choose any color to match your theme!) and place a small round candle in the center to create an inexpensive, yet pretty table top.
We had a great time on Sunday and want to give a huge shout-out to Dove Visibly Smooth (more on this bangin’ new deodorant soon!) and Milani Cosmetics for sponsoring a totally fab party!
The event was hosted with gift cards, jewelry for gift bags and product samples furnished by Dove with additional products furnished by Milani.
