Or, if you’re already overwhelmed by party planning -- and filling out your Oscar ballots -- take some advice from party-planning expert Seri Kertzner, the founder and “Chief Party Officer” of Little Miss Party in New York City, and just keep it simple, as she told Fox News.
“Don’t go nuts with it -- a splash of cranberry juice in a glass of prosecco is perfectly festive," she added.
