Totally Rad Oscars, Baby!!

We hosted our 20th Annual Oscar Party this weekend! I am not sure this is true... I'm not completely sure where the time went. In those 20 years we've had 3 kids, owned 2 houses & 2 dogs, and we're in our forties. In Oscar speak we've seen a lot of movies, come up with a lot of party themes ~ from a Pajama Party to a Chinese New Year, to a Lucky 13 Tailgater ~ and we've taken home the Oscar a few times ourselves. I have loved planning these parties!

 

I've always called myself a Closet Genius... I'm thinking Al agrees!



For a few years I've kicked around the idea of an 80's theme party. I finally decided the 20th anniversary would be just the right time. I was so pumped that Whitney asked me, "Ok, it's the day of the party? Are you sooo excited?" She knows that the day of something makes you even more crazy excited!

Here is how it all came together!

Reagan & Tennison used neon paints to splatter paint a table runner!!

 Didn't we all keep our Rubik's Cubes?

 

Framed family picture of the Cosby's - best show!

To the left is Kurt Cameron and Brooke Shields in the 80's.

*Note: table runner extraordinaire!

And our fine President... who Reagan isn't named after.

 

Neon glow sticks and splatter painted cassette tapes!

Reagan got me nice and crimped for the night!! Yep, saved that too.

 



 

Pretty sure there weren't iPhones in the 80's, Preppy Boy!!

I definitely look more like my 80's self than Scott did...

I'm not sure "preppy" made it to South fork!!

 

With the help of a shoulder padded blazer from my mom and accessories from our friend Donna,

I was looking the part from my crimped big hair down to my hot pink tights!

Solo cups were so 80's!

And the guests start to arrive!!! First we have our Rocker, Nikki!!

That guitar actually played 80's music!

No dweebs at this party! Only cute Preppy Boys!!

 

 Would we have been friends

in the 80's?

 An Izod polo and an off the shoulder sweater!!

80's food... yum!!

Depending on how they hold their candy cigarettes

tells you a little something about what they

smoked in the 80's...

just sayin'!

 

Back to the Future!!

We look GREAT!!

Thanks for indulging everyone ~ it was worth the wait!!

From the right, our original group includes Eric & Trena,

us, and Greg & Vicky. Our newcomers are

Jon & Nicole and Larry & Kendra.

What a surprise! The group snuck around and did a Lifetime Achievement Award for

Best Oscar Party Hostess... Scott got a supporting host award too!

They also made a slide show and gave us a gift basket for the movies.

What a great group. Looks like the fun is going to continue! 

 

It was RAD to the MAX!!

An AWESOME night had by all...

FER SHUR!!
