This post is in partnership with Black Twine.
Today, I’m sharing steps to planning a simple Hollywood Inspired Movie Night for your family and friends so you can enjoy the Oscars in style!
Do you love the Oscars? Me too! I can’t wait for all of the glitz and glam. Not to mention the anticipation of my favorite movie being nominated for an award. This definitely calls for a celebration and I’ve got the perfect party for you.
First, you will need to invite your guests over for a night of Hollywood glam! What better way to do that than with fun invitations? This beautiful invitation design will definitely set the tone for your event!
Secondly, let’s give your party table the star treatment with amazing tableware. If these star-shaped plates don’t scream Hollywood glam, I don’t know what does. And the embellished cups and napkins make me feel like I’m walking down Hollywood Boulevard! Not to mention the absolute perfect Oscar inspired headbands. Definitely the cherry on top!
Next, we need the ultimate movie night essential, popcorn! I love this popcorn bar because the clear containers turn the popcorn into instant party décor! I’m sure your party guests will also appreciate having a variety of popcorn options.
Now, can we talk about these adorable free printables? Decorating your party table has never been easier than adding film reel garland. You can also get champagne bottle labels to dress up the bubbly for your adult guests. My favorite printables are the photo booth props!

Using acrylic letter toppers definitely transforms a simple cake into instant Hollywood glam!
Cupcakes are my go-to dessert for parties. They are easy to make, your guests love them, and clean-up is easy. These fun champagne cupcakes (recipe below) feature an extra treat, monster munch popcorn – 2 treats in 1 is always a win in my book!

This is such a bright, fun Oscars theme party. We love your use of bright colors over the traditional red, black and gold Oscar colors. We were also thinking about making popcorn cupcakes for our upcoming Oscars party this year.
I love everything about this party!! Those cupcakes sound heavenly!
I just came here to say I love the bright colors. I mean, I love the red carpet, but I’m not the one walking it so I don’t need everything to be red!
I definitely am going to try that cupcake recipe. I love how you use non traditional colors for this party. It’s so fresh and fun!
LOVE this. So pretty and bright! What a fun party!
I love all the fun details! The colors are so bright and fun. I’m planning a movie night and popcorn bar at the end of this month so thanks for the inspiration!
