The Logistics
Ready to transform your backyard into the ultimate entertainment zone? Just remember: no one enjoys getting drenched mid-movie. Check the weather forecast because sitting outside in the rain isn’t exactly everyone’s idea of a blockbuster night. And hey, have a backup plan—Mother Nature has a funny way of springing surprises.
Also, keep in mind the sunset. The darker it gets, the better the movie magic. We’ve discovered that right after sunset is the sweet spot for cinematic vibes!
The Invites
The more, the merrier! Backyard movie nights are way more fun with the whole neighborhood (and maybe a few extra popcorn aficionados). Get the kids to draw up a guest list and send out those invites. We crafted these super cute little invites—seriously, you’ll love them! You can Click on the Movie Ticket invite and save it to your computer, size and print out!
Happy backyard movie night! Grab some popcorn, kick back, and enjoy the show!
Setting Up the Screen
Although you can certainly rent a movie screen for the night or buy one of those blow-up ones but why not turn your Springfree Trampoline into a movie screen with just a few simple materials. With a King size flat sheet clip to the outside or inside of the Trampoline depending on how many guests you have. This can also work on a fence. Can’t forget the movie projector!! I’m sure there are so many options out there and I have no doubt you could even use your smart phone but there are options that are budget friendly.
Watching In Comfort
Let’s face it: comfort is key when you’re hosting an epic backyard movie night. You could use your patio furniture, but where’s the adventure in that? If your backyard is blessed with a luxurious patch of grass, go wild with pillows and blankets. Let the kids sprawl out and enjoy their very own grass-carpeted cinema.
Feeling extra adventurous? Why not turn your Springfree trampoline into a movie-watching haven? Pile the kids in with their blankets and pillows, and watch their faces light up. Just a tiny reminder: movie time means no jumping, even during the exciting scenes!
Now sit back, relax, and get ready for a night of blockbuster fun.
The Snacks
No movie night is complete without the ultimate snacks! We’ve got some kid-approved recipes that will make your movie night legendary. Think pizza roll-ups, caramel apple nachos, and a popcorn bar that will have everyone munching away.
