Free Printable Oscar Party Invitations + DIY Gold Glitter Envelopes

Most award shows are hit and miss for me, but I LOVE watching the Academy Awards. From analyzing the dresses, makeup, and hair hits and misses on the red carpet, to rating how funny the host is that year, to guessing who and what movies will win, I love it all!

If you love it all, too, then you’re in luck!! This week on Make Life Lovely it’s all about the Academy Awards. I’ve got tons in store for you this week, including free printable Oscar party invitations, fabulous food ideas, free printable ballots, easy Oscar party decoration ideas, and a complete Oscar party table spread using some amazing finds from World Market. I can barely contain my excitement!

I designed some lovely free printable ticket invitations for you to download, print, and give! Whether you enjoy a casual get together with friends and family, or love throwing a lavish party for the occasion, these invitations are perfect! There are four invitations per page. I print mine at the office supply store so I don’t use up all my black printer ink!

These invitations are part of my Oscar Party I created with World Market.

The only way to make these invitations even better would be to add some gold glitter, so I made some easy gold glitter envelopes that take these invitations over the top! If you want to add a little glitz and glam to your invitations and party, you have got to try making these!

And did I mention that each envelope literally will take you one minute to make? I used an awesome tool called the Envelope Punch Board, made by We R Memory Keepers. I saw it in action at CHA last month, and just fell in love with it. It’s a simple yet powerful tool that helps you easily and quickly make envelopes. Here’s how…

DIY Gold Glitter Envelopes:

Gold glitter paper (I found mine at Michaels)
We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board
Paper cutter or scissors and ruler
Adhesive

1. Measure your card size, and look on the punch board to see what size to cut your paper. Cut your paper to the correct size. My Oscar invitations are 4″ x 5,” so I cut my paper to a 7.5″ x 7.5″ square.

2. Look where it says “score line” next to the paper size on the punch board.

Line up the left edge of paper to the score line measurement. Punch down to create a notch in your paper, and use the scoring tool to score the paper (which will make it easy to fold).

3. Turn the paper counterclockwise by 90 degrees, and line up the score line to the blue score guide. Punch and score. Repeat on all sides.

Round all of the corners using the reverse punch, which is the back side of the punch that you already used. Fold and glue.

Isn’t it beautiful?

Wouldn’t you love getting one of these beauties in the mail? Your first envelope will take a couple minutes to make, but after that you can make an envelope in one minute, which is very cool.

You can also download these free printable Oscar ballots for your get-together or party as well! Just check off your top picks on the ballot before the show, and see how many you got right. You can also turn it into a contest and have an award for the winner if you’d like.

These tuxedo chocolate covered almonds go perfectly with the the Oscar theme, as do these gold film reel cupcakes that use store-bought cupcakes and are SO easy to put together!

You can see all my party ideas for the Oscars viewing party I created for World Market to get more ideas for your party, too! Happy planning!
