The Oscars are this weekend – and they’re also a great excuse to invite friends over for the evening, so I was really hoping to be able to do a full recap of our Feb 5th “Old Hollywood Glam / Red Carpet Splash” event before they arrived since the ideas were catered towards hosting an Awards Party at home. Unfortunately, I’m still waiting on the event photos, and since those will be the most important part of the recap, it looks like it will happen post-Oscars instead.

In the meantime, I still wanted to share some of the event’s ideas that you could whip up over the weekend before Sunday night, so that’s the focus of my post today over at Real Simple: Celebrations. Click here to check it out!

P.S. If you attended the Hip Hostess L.A. event and want to check out or purchase the photo booth pictures, you can view them here. The event key is “hwtm“. (They’re ordered in reverse, so the first pics you see are actually the end of the second session.)
