Planning Outdoor Movie Night Party

Planning Outdoor Movie Night Party

Today it is very hard to find drive-in movies. But many people enjoy watching movies outside in the summer. However it is still possible to arrange your own outdoor movie party. This party is perfect for inviting your friends, family and neighbors.

It is not very difficult to arrange this party.

Setting the Stage
You are going to have the party outside. The lights at this time are very low that’s why you don’t need any decorations. You should have technical skills or refer to a home theater professional that who could help you prepare for this party.

You can create your own movie screen if you buy an inexpensive, king-size, flat, white bedsheet. The top and the bottom should be tacked onto thin strips of wood. Then you need to drill the holes on the top of the wood and hang the screen from the side of a house, garage, or any other large building.

2. A Sound and Projection System
For broadcasting movies outside you will need a powerful home theater-in-a-box system with speakers and DVD player.  You should also look for the video projector to connect to the DVD player to project the movie. The speaker can be mounted around your seating area with the help of 6-foot wooden stakes.

3. Chairs
In order that all your guests could have comfortable seats you can ask them to bring lawn chairs. If some of your guests are with young children they can bring large blankets in case the kids become sleepy.

4. A Movie
The movie which you are going to watch should suit for all age members at your party. In some cases the classic movie is the best choice or you may choose a classic sci-fi B movie which can recreate that nostalgic drive-in experience.

5. Insect repellant
You should protect your guests from the attack of mosquito. Give your guests spray-on insect repellant. You can place citronella candles in a wide enough swathe around the viewing area to chase away the bugs.

6. Food and Snacks
* Buy a lot of Popcorn. It can be served in movie theater style boxes which you can get at party stores.

* Movie theater size boxes of candy.

* Hot dogs in red plastic baskets.

* Plates of nachos.

* Ice cream bars.

* Soft drinks.
