D.I.Y. - Golden Globes Viewing Party


 

I love to make an event out of anything. So why not host a Golden Globes viewing party. Whether chic or casual, there is room for creativity, and good times had by all.  

To get started be sure to know:

*know the # of guests
*event theme
*specialty cocktail
* menu
*interactive game


Depending on your cup of tea, an upscale cocktail party with an afterparty at the hottest new lounge will give you that glam celeb experience. Depending on your venue and decor, you could have cocktail/formal attire like Ms. J Lo (see above).

*A sample specialty cocktail is the Golden Globe-trotter (Prosecco w/Crown Royal, rim the glass with fresh oj and crystal gold sugar) presented on mirrored tile
*Metallic gold candles (Jamali Garden, Chelsea NYC)
*Glass vases, stencil flowers,
*Food: use your local grocer as a private chef , order a few platters, flip old vases upside down to add height to food display
*Games: why not pick the winners for the top categories. Create two-sided card, with top 5-7 categories with nominees listed, and whoever gets most answers correct gets a gold themed prize (ex. champagne, gold Godiva chocolates)

These ideas can be amended to any awards show year round, so why not do a trial run tonight, and perfect it for future award shows. Let the festivities begin!
