Punchbowl® Reveals Party Insights for Hollywood’s Biggest Night
Framingham, MA (PRWEB) February 25, 2016 -- Punchbowl®, the gold standard in online invitations, today revealed new trends and party insights for Hollywood’s biggest night. With the Awards show just days away, Punchbowl conducted a survey to understand how people plan to celebrate.
According to the survey, 82% of respondents turn to social media for party inspiration, followed by magazines and media sites. They search for themed food and game ideas, which were cited among the most important elements for the Awards party. Punchbowl also found that 33% of hosts choose black-tie attire for the occasion and the go-to menu items are creative buffets and fancy hors d’oeuvres.
While Hollywood’s biggest night celebrates the best of the big screen, it’s the small screen that matters for Awards show watch parties. In fact, 61% say a quality TV and sound system is critical for the party and 50% of respondents plan to have multiple screens in front of them while watching Sunday’s show — for posting to social media during the broadcast and browsing red carpet looks. Additionally, 91% prefer to send online invitations for Awards show parties.
“Online invitations are a terrific way to quickly bring your friends together,” said Matt Douglas, CEO, Punchbowl, Inc. “Our free invitation collection allows hosts to send beautiful, personalized Awards show invitations to guests right from their phone, tablet or desktop.”
Punchbowl’s survey also revealed the following:
