Create an invitation list of friends and relatives who are movie lovers or celebrity fans. You can buy elegant paper from your local office supply store and create an invitation right on your home computer. Select a fancy font when typing information about the party onto the invitation. Be sure to request that guests wear for mal or casual attire. Make it clear on the invitation that guests should not wear sneakers or jeans. Stars like Jennifer Hudson will not be wearing the latest Nike Air Max shoe, so all guests should dress appropriately. Formal attire is a must if you want to represent the Golden Globes in every aspect of your party. You can mail the invitations in white or gold envelopes. Make sure to include an RSVP request. This will help you determine the proper amount of food to prepare. It will also help you create a seating chart for the guests at your Golden Globes party.
You can use white or ivory colored table cloths for the party. Decorations can include gold and white balloons, flowers and candles. Streamers can also be added if desired. To add more excitement, pick up a red rug from a store in your town. You can place this rug at your door entrance. It will enhance the Golden Globes experience for your guests. Prepare a seating chart for all invited guests. The seats can be reserved in a separate dining area, or in the main party area. If your Golden Globes party will take place in one main area, arrange enough tables to allow adequate viewing space for the television. You will want to make sure that each guest will be able to view the Golden Globe Awards television broadcast. Multiple television sets can be set up around the party area as well. This will enable your guests to be able to view Kate Winslet, Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith as they walk down the red carpet; if there will be a separate dining area at the party.
Prepare small sheets of paper with a list of the Golden Globes nominations on them. The guests can use the sheets to select who they want to win for each category. Place guest name cards on each table in front of the designated seat for all guests. A fancy font can be used to print the names of each guest on the cards. Use a small candle for each table setting. The candles can be surrounded by flowers as well. This will help to create a graceful atmosphere for your Golden Globes party. The balloons and streamers can be placed around the party area.
Make sure to pick up a nice bottle of wine for your guests to enjoy with dinner. Wine can be substituted for your own mixed drink, if desired. You can also allow your guests to bring their favorite wines for everyone. Doing so will give your guests a wide selection of drinks to choose from while enjoying the Golden Globes. You can prepare delicious hors d’oeuvre including crab cakes and Caesar salad. For dinner, try Emeril Lagasse’s lasagna and chocolate cake for dessert.
As guests arrive, hand out the list of Golden Globes nominations. You can have a video camera set up to capture the guest’s arrival on your red carpet. All of your girlfriends can feel like the cast from Desperate Housewives, while your male relatives try to imitate the personalities of Johnny Depp and Will Ferrell. Your guests can vote on the best and worse dressed celebrities while viewing the Golden Globes pre-show on television. Guests can re-enact scenes from the films and television shows that are nominated for Golden Globe awards. Each guest can randomly select a scene from a party bowl or box. You can write down the scenes while preparing the list of nominations, in advance. Movie scripts and teleplays can be found online. If guests have not seen many of the nominated movies, you can stick to television shows such as Scrubs, Heroes and Grey’s Anatomy.
You can make small gift baskets for your guests. The baskets can include cookies, chocolates and various snacks. To spice things up a bit, you can give the gifts baskets to guests who chose the correct winner for a particular Golden Globes category. To do so, you will have to keep track of who won during the awards show. You can give the flowers and balloons to guests upon their departure. Be sure to take lots of pictures during your party. You can create a nice Golden Globes collage and send them to your guests as a memorable and long lasting party favor. Use these ideas to create a fun Golden Globes experience.
