Create a perfect outdoor movie theatre experience in your backyard! Gather some snacks and drinks, set up a projector and screen, and enjoy a night of watching a movie with your family and friends. Make it extra special by adding some comfy seating and blankets. Get ready for a fun evening of movie-watching with your loved ones!

Here’s what you’ll need:

1. Assemble the Seating

Create a comfy atmosphere in the backyard by placing chairs and scatter cushions for the adults while the kids cuddle up with miniature pillows and blankets. Bring some sleeping bags for the young ones to snuggle in to make it more enjoyable. Have baskets ready to store the items and add a touch of cheer by adding large balloons to the atmosphere.

2. Set Up a Goodies Table

Set up a table with all the concession stand goodies, like popcorn, candy, and drinks. Put a popcorn cart nearby for a fun and theatrical touch. Hang sparkly twinkle lights above the table to provide lighting without interfering with the movie.

3. Set the Backyard Movie Scene

Creating an outdoor theatre in your backyard is a great way to watch a movie without buying extra furniture. Place tents, chairs, and blankets in a cozy seating arrangement and hang colourful balloons from nearby trees. Put snacks near the screen so grabbing something during the movie is easy. Have fun!

4. Make a DIY Movie Screen

When the sun goes down and the stars come out, it’s time to set up a movie night in your own backyard! You can easily set up an outdoor theatre with an extension cord or outlet and connect your laptop or projector to create a cinematic experience. Alternatively, you can construct your own movie screen using PVC pipes and a drop cloth. Then, settle in and enjoy a movie under the stars!

5. Consider Paper Ticket Garland

Paper ticket garland is great for adding movie-inspired decorations to your concession stand. Start by tearing off multiple strips of tickets from a roll, ensuring they are the same length. Cut a piece of jute rope to the desired length, and lay it out straight. Fold the top ticket over the rope and secure it with hot glue. Repeat this process across the length of the rope, using a ruler to ensure the ticket strips are evenly spaced.

6. Create a Centrepiece

Create a beautiful and cost-effective centrepiece by stacking spools of colourful tickets. Arrange the rolls in an eye-catching tray, and top it off with a vase of cheerful flowers. For a truly eye-catching display, choose various colours for the ticket spools.

7. Mix and Match Treats

Create a unique snack mix with your favourite treats. You can include candy, nuts, fruits and crackers to make something that is both delicious and nutritious.
