Hey Bellingham! It's almost Oscar time! The 85th Academy Awards is scheduled for Sunday, February 24. If you can't be live on the red carpet, consider creating your own Hollywood themed party. Here are some tips to create your own event.

1. If you don't have a large screen television, consider borrowing or renting one for the night. Clear-out the living room or family room and set-up chairs in a row to simulate a theater and be sure to tune into the broadcast on ABC.

2. Create Swag bags like those given to the VIPs of the actual event. Include items such as sample or travel sized shampoos and lotions, small party favors, candy and glow sticks for the younger guests.

3. Make and a ballot listing all the nominees in each category. Print out a copy for every guest and ask them to make their predictions. Then award a prize to the person who makes the most correct guesses.

4. Give away a door prize (or two). Consider giving a DVD or BlueRay copy of one of nominated movies.

5. Serve appetizers like crackers, cheese and fruit along with apple cider or wine. Have favorite movie snacks available for show time. Popcorn, licorice sticks, Milk Duds and Whoppers are always good choices.

6. Decorate with plenty of gold stars, movie posters and a long red carpet it possible. Create a clapboard out of black paper and a star with each guest's name on it out of gold paper and create your own walk of fame.

7. Rent a limousine from Best Limousine's and Sedans. Request red carpet service and experience what a movie star feels like when they arrive at the Academy Awards.
