Party: The 87th Academy Awards, The Oscars

Are you counting down the days to this years 87th Academy Awards? The Oscars will take place this Sunday, February 22, 2015 at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles. The host this year is Neil Patrick Harris! The pre-show starts at 3pm (Pacific time). We have to admit this is our favorite part! I love to see what everyone is wearing & watch them walk the red carpet.

Below are a few ideas to throw a fabulous Oscar party Connie & Jenn put together.

1. Dress up in Oscar worthy dresses (old prom dresses anyone?)
2. Print out ballots: Have a ballot for each main category & the person who gets the most right will receive a reward.
3. Oscar "photo-booth": Create a gold or black/white backdrop and have swanky props like champagne glasses, mustaches, top hats, kissy lips. Set up a photo stand or use a polaroid
4. Have a popcorn bar: since popcorn and a good movie go hand in hand. (Connie & I will have to skip this one because we gave it up for lent this year) 
5. Box candy from the theater
6. Drinks: champagne, champagne & more champagne
7. Fresh lobster is always great too!
8. Have gold stars everywhere for decoration

We are really gunning for our favorite, American Sniper (pun intended ;))

Holiday: Mardi Gras 2015

 

Happy FAT TUESDAY everyone. Today is the day you indulge in all your favorite things before fasting. Connie & I both picked 1 thing we LOVE to give up for 40 days and 40 nights. We chose.... POPCORN.

I know it is going to be hard but we are going to do it. This fast will start tomorrow, on Ash Wednesday and end on Easter Sunday. As for tonight (being a Tuesday & having to work tomorrow...) we are going to have a little festive dinner party. Below are our decorations. Leave us a comment & let us know what your MARDI GRAS plans are.
