Calling all movie and cocktail lovers! The Mixer has rounded up the best <\/span>Oscar party ideas<\/span> for 2025. After all, your <\/span>Academy Awards<\/span> viewing party<\/span> has got to be the talk of the town, honey! From <\/span>Oscar cocktails<\/span> that <\/span>really <\/span><\/i>lean into the theme, and after-party approved snacks, we’ve got you covered. <\/span>Dive right in to get ready to host the ultimate red carpet celebration at home this year.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

1. Oscar-themed party decoration ideas<\/h2>\n

\"Friends<\/p>\n

We like to start with Oscar party d\u00e9cor because it\u2019s the backdrop of your party. Sure, you could just put out a few napkins and snacks and be done with it, but where’s the fun in that? You look like the kind of person who goes all out, and we respect that. So here are a few ideas to get your hosting space looking party-ready without breaking the bank. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Colour schemes<\/h3>\n

Okay, so gold. Yes, yes, it\u2019s been done, we know, but some things are classic for a reason. When in doubt, go with metallic shades as a nod to the little golden statues the Academy Awards revolve around. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

However, if you\u2019ve got a favourite movie you\u2019re backing for the win, you could use the look and feel of the film itself to inspire your d\u00e9cor. <\/span>The Fabelmans, <\/span><\/i>for example, <\/span>is all about the nostalgia of old-school filmmaking and has a gorgeous Mid-century American vibe. If you want to go with this look, rent some vintage serving trays or pick some up at your local thrift store. Add a few other household items you would have commonly seen in the home, like rotary phones, bar carts, vintage LIFE magazines, or anything<\/em> starburst.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Alternatively, you could go with an <\/span>Everything Everywhere All at Once<\/span><\/i> theme and stick googly eyes on pretty much everything. This film also has some nice Asian themes that can be used to inspire d\u00e9cor elements. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Think laterally and have fun!<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Movie posters & decor inspiration<\/h3>\n

Movie posters along with strings of naked bulbs or fairy lights will always be a classic choice for an Oscar viewing party. You can also rent an <\/span>actual <\/span><\/i>red carpet and velvet ropes to usher your guests into your home. While it can get a bit pricey, it really sets the scene for star-studded glamour.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

For a fab gift idea, you can go super creative and get an AI platform like Dall-E to create images of your guests in movie-inspired themes. For instance, portraits of your guests as Na\u2019vi from <\/span>Avatar: Way of Water.<\/span><\/i> Or 1950s heartthrobs as a nod to <\/span>Elvis<\/span><\/i>!<\/span> Put the photos in some pound shop frames, and then pass them out as party favours when everyone heads home. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Viewing arrangements<\/h3>\n

Another important thing to consider when hosting your viewing party for the <\/span>Academy Awards<\/span> in <\/span>2025<\/span>, is how the viewing will work. If you\u2019re watching on television, make sure that there are plenty of comfortable seats for all your guests. If you want to go big, set up a projector and create a cinema-like ambiance in your garage or even outdoors, if the weather allows. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

2. What to wear on your own red carpet<\/h2>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Looking for <\/span>Oscar party costume ideas?<\/span> Let\u2019s get you kitted out! After all, if you\u2019re doing the d\u00e9cor, pouring the cocktails and making the snacks, it\u2019s only fair that everyone looks the part as well.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sequins & sparkles<\/h3>\n

The Oscars are all about glitz and glamour, babes. So, the simplest dress-up solution for a viewing party is to go with sequins and sparkles. This way, guests can add a sparkly top or tie to some jeans and a shirt or go all-out with a full-on glitter dress and heels if they feel like it.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Classic glamor<\/h3>\n

Classic <\/span>Oscar cocktail dresses<\/span> and suits can also be a vibe. Invite your guests to pull out their go-to wedding party outfits, or even old-school formal dresses and suits that might be hanging out at the back of their closets. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

TOP TIP! Get a professional hair stylist and make-up artist to set up shop at your house, so guests can get dolled up on-site. Bonus points if you get a professional photographer so everyone can score some epic profile pics… <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Celeb-inspired looks<\/h3>\n

Our final <\/span>Oscar party dress<\/span> code idea is to invite guests to come dressed as nominees, whether that be in the guise of their 2025 film characters, or earlier ones. For example: <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
