What Do You Need for Outdoor Movie Night?
Have you seen the movie “The Wedding Planner”? It has a couple great scenes at a movie in the park. Watch it. It will make you want to immediately start planning a movie night – not at the park necessarily, but in your backyard. Actually, it could be in the park – or anywhere outside you have permission, electrical, and a place for a screen or sheet (as a screen).
Think of how cool it could be. A movie, under the stars with friends, family, the candy you like best, and popcorn. Lots of popcorn. And blankets, and pillows or chairs if you prefer. There are so many different things you could do.
Pick a Theme
Take it a step further and make it even cooler by tying in a theme. Here are some themes you could enjoy: Romantic Comedies, Classics, Mysteries, Thrillers. Maybe you could watch all past academy award winners. Or how about a classy affair with all French movies? You could even decorate your yard to fit the theme.
Delicious Food
You could have food that fits the theme as well. Try concession products, including a popcorn machine, cotton candy and a nacho cheese dispenser (ooooh – yum).
Turn it into a Fund Raiser
If you have access to a barn or a public area and you need to raise money for something, create a fun-draising movie night. Invite everyone. Charge a small donation admission fee and tell folks that your outdoor movie night is going to a good cause. Have a concession stand and ask for donations for drinks, baked goods and of course candy and popcorn.
Just for Celebration
Your movie night could be celebrating something. A birthday or an anniversary or let’s just celebrate the weekend! Show a movie that has special meaning for the person you are celebrating.
