Host a Golden Globes Viewing Party

Tip of the Week – Host A Golden Globes Viewing Party!

The 68th Annual Golden Globes Awards will air on Sunday, January 16th at 8:00 p.m. EST on NBC and what better night to get an early start on star gazing and Hollywood buzz!   Hosting a Viewing Party can be as simple or as creative as you’d like – you can theme a menu around the nominated movies or just give a general nod to the movies as a whole.

For A Nominee Themed Party

Here are some party menu suggestions based upon the Golden Globes nominees:

• The King’s Speech - the setting of England in 1939 suggests warm, cozy food like shepherd’s pie, Welsh rarebit and a trifle to finish off the meal!
• The Social Network - here’s the perfect excuse to serve food college style with delivery pizza, beer and chips!
• Burlesque - cocktails and hors d’oeuvres served night club style
• Mad Men - channel the swanky days of the early sixties!
• Toy Story 3 or Alice in Wonderland - plan a kid friendly dinner buffet

For a Movie Themed Party

Serve Movie Theatre Snacks – Serve the delicious snacks that we only indulge in when at the movie theatre!  For example, fill trays with Raisinets, Junior Mints, Snow Caps, Milk Duds and Licorice!

Create a Popcorn Bar – And of course, don’t forget the popcorn!   For ideas on creating a unique Popcorn Bar, take a look at Create a Fabulous Popcorn Bar where there are recipes and suggestions for gourmet popcorn that will definitely be the highlight of the evening!

A Few Final Notes

• Make sure that you have ample seating around the TV, whether with couches, chairs or pillows.
• Consider setting up a second TV if you’re entertaining a big crowd.
