Oscar Party Invite Tips
An Oscar viewing party is a bit different than other types of events, such as anniversary parties or New Year’s Eve bashes. Here are some relevant points to keep in mind when writing up the invitation:
1. Use Hollywood-inspired wordplay. Puns are allowed – nay, encouraged – on invitations, and Hollywood is a rich subject for such linguistic silliness. Look for ways to incorporate movie lingo into your wording, or make your invitation extra-fresh by using puns based on this year’s nominees.
2. Consider attaching a mock ballot to your invitation. Many Oscar parties include a contest to see who can pick the most award winners, adding an interactive/competitive element to the evening. You can always hand out ballots when your guests arrive, but sending them out with the invite offers a couple of advantages. First, your guests can spend more time at your party socializing rather than filling out the ballot. And two, it generates a little extra excitement about the awards in advance of your party.
3. Get your invites sent out early. As with other event viewing parties, an Oscar party can only happen on one date. You’ll want to get on people’s calendars before they make other plans. Request an RSVP to get people locked in and get an accurate count of how many you’ll be entertaining.
Okay folks, that’s a wrap. Here’s hoping your Oscar party wins rave reviews.
