I've only ever been to one drive in theater & I loved it! I love the idea of making a great big family movie night with blankets & lanterns in the back yard. The weather has been perfect at night the past few weeks for this. Perhaps I can convince them to let me borrow it for a little while & throw my own movie party!
I've been seeing a lot of these backyard movie ideas floating around on pinterest & I thought I'd share a few of my fave ideas!
I love the lantern idea in this one! Lights up the space just enough to see around but not too much to distract from the movie. If you had a pretty flat house you wouldn't even need a sheet! My parents have a movie screen, but I think I'd get a sheet anyway...I like my movies big!
This one just screams lovely party. Gathering up your friends to watch an old movie, perhaps even a double feature! I love the popcorn bowls & lounging cushions. This would be a great birthday party, anniversary celebration, or family get together. I remember ages ago when my grandfather brought out the old slide projector & we all gathered to look at slides from when my grandparents were stationed in Paris, France. It was super cool to see my dad & aunts as kids...and even greater to realize how much I indeed look like my grandma! This is one of my favorite memories!
When I saw this one I instantly thought of a wedding! How awesome would it be to have a little part of the reception where you & your guests watched video from loved one's weddings, childhood memories caught on film by proud parents, or even a slide show of how you & husband or wife grew up and grew to love each other. Pair it with a romantic soundtrack & you will have everyone in tears! I think this is the perfect idea for a small, down home wedding!
Have you ever been to a drive in movie?
Any late night double features?
We've done this a couple times and it is awesome. I love it.
