These next-level ideas for activities, food and drink are guaranteed to help you host the year’s best, yet still low-key (it is a Sunday, after all), bash.

Up the Ante
Everyone always gets a little more excited about things when there’s money involved. Collect $5 from your guests when they arrive and hand out this Oscar ballot. Winner takes all, but the fun, competitive spirit will benefit everyone.
