How to Plan an Outdoor Movie Night
Summer is the perfect time for an outdoor movie night, but what about those warm fall or spring nights? Folks, it s time to take advantage of those balmy evenings by hanging out and relaxing. This social event is sure to become a favorite. So go ahead and forge some new traditions, style some modern heirlooms and get some great gifts into the hands of the people you like most. Make this year s hot nights memorable with an outdoor movie party.
Step1
Start a New Tradition: Make it an anticipated, annual occurrence and one that has your signature all over it. Get way into it, not with time and cash, but with attitude and hosting chutzpah.
Step2
Send an Invitation: Grab some real potatoes and with a push-pin, attach a theater ticket and note that includes all the party details: Come be a couch potato at our place! It s the Hendersons first-ever, annual outdoor movie night. Include date, time and RSVP info.
Step3
Make a Marquee: Announce the movie you re screening with graffiti lettering that sticks to your windows. But instead of just listing the movie, use a quote, then credit the title of movie: My momma always said, 'Life is like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get.'" Forest Gump 1994
Step4
Create Stadium Seating: The down-in-front effect comes from staggering the seating; lowest in front with blankets and pillows (kids can bring their sleeping bags), then bean bag chairs, then chaise lounges and lawn chairs. You could even drag out the sofa, but it might be a good idea to drape it with sheets or blankets.
Step5
Gather the Equipment: You ll need a DVD projector, speakers and a screen. The first time around, you may try renting everything unless you really know what you want. Fees for renting the projectors start at about $40 a day, purchase prices range from $299 up into the thousands. You can rent a screen as well or use a light-colored wall or sheet.
Step6
Pick a Flick: So many choices! You may think the line between family-friendly and kiddie-flick is thin, but trust me, there is enough common ground that you can include everyone in the tradition. There are lots of online sites that trumpet movies and entertainment that are good for any age. Get something that is a quality family-friendly film. You know, the kind that are inspirational, emotionally moving, illuminating, thought-provoking, or just plain fun! Note to host: Whether kids are on the guest list or not, a cartoon before the main feature is a must!
Step7
Serve Snacks and Drinks: Keep it simple for the outdoors.
*It's grilling time! There s no law dictating a burger-steak-chicken menu when the BBQ gets fired up. Movie vibe faves like grilled pizza and hot dogs taste much better over coals. Many stores sell pizza stones that fit on your grill. Set up a topping bar, so guests can take the guesswork out of it, which leaves you free to mingle with the crowd.
*Another hot movie treat is popcorn, so set up a popcorn buffet that features every variety you can get your hands on: caramel, kettle, chocolate crunch and cheese. When guests ask what to bring, tell them to pick up their favorite popcorn topping. For the full Cracker Jack effect, bury tiny toys and prizes in the popcorn bowls.
*Part dessert, part drink (okay it s really a dessert): Cool milkshakes make hot nights easier to swallow. Create an outdoor milkshake station by keeping the ice cream and milk in an ice chest with dry ice. Line up as many blenders as you can get your hands on (don t forget extension cords) then let guests make their own. Of course, kids should be supervised, as the dry ice will burn skin if touched and blender accidents have been known to happen. Cruise through some recipes to find the ones you d like to feature. Print them up and include all the ingredients at the station so guests will have a smooth experience.
*Snacks at this party double as favors, so encourage guests to take them home. Set up the classics on TV trays near the seating area, such as Milk Duds and Junior Mints. Ordering classic candy online will be much easier then trying to find it all in the same store.
Step8
Schedule an Intermission: Depending on the length of the movie, guests might like a short break to stretch their legs, use the restroom, or fix more treats. Use this as an excuse for a little more action, like holding a raffle. ecide how many prizes you want to feature, and hand out tickets when guests arrive. The grand prize could be three months at NetFlix, funny T-shirts, hot new DVDs, cool movie books, gift cards or crazy things you can pick up at a dollar store.
Step9
Make It Last with Heirlooming: Every tradition needs memorabilia, right? Yours should be something guests help make, and is then brought out year after year. Mine is going to be a flag that we add to every year. It starts as a piece of 36-inch x 48-inch fabric adorned with my movie night logo and trimmed with yellow fringe. At the party, I ll have a ton of stuff for guests to get creative with: movie-themed patches and buttons (some general and some specific to the movie being screened), fabric pens, pieces of felt to make into shapes and monograms, and other decorating items. I ll also take photos during the party, transfer a couple to fabric afterwards, then add them to the flag before the next event.
Step10
Be a Great Gifter: Whether you ve been invited to a movie night or some other hot party, socializing usually calls for some sort of gift. Here are some of my picks (see Resources below to get more information):
*Root Beer Float Kit: Grab a six pack of the sweet beer, pair it with an amazing vanilla ice cream, a scoop, some straws and you ll be the hit of the party!
*Bicycle: Electra Beach Cruiser
*Specimen Sea Shell: Interesting to display and collect.
*Beach Door Mat: Nothing says welcome quite like this.
*Surf T-shirt: Classic Ocean Pacific brand will be appreciated.
*Books: Try trashy novels to read by the pool, best judged by the cover.
* One Special Summer by Jacqueline and Lee Bouvier
*Sand Castle Building Kit: Shovelfuls of fun.
*Sea Salt Scrub: Easy to order and wonderful to receive.
*Flip Flop Charms: Decorate the ultimate summer shoe.
