Get ready for the Academy Awards with these creative ideas from Alexis Murphy

Editor’s note: We’ve come to count on Menlo Park resident Alexis Murphy for showing us how to make celebrations and holidays special. Here she takes on the Academy Awards, which will take place this Sunday night (2/28).

Whether you’ve seen the movies or not, the Academy Awards are always exciting. The glamor, the controversy, the parties. It is time for our annual cupcakes honoring the
Best Pictures. You can print the cupcake toppers here.

[In addition], the perfect simple centerpiece for our Oscar party, a shimmery gold envelope, filled with delicate flowers. To keep them fresh for the night, I dampened a few paper towels,  and put them in a plastic baggie, then placed inside the envelope.
