Don't forget fun details. A backyard film-screening party can be a whole-neighborhood event or a romantic evening for two. Either way, the small touches really make it a night to remember.
Here are a few things to consider for your next backyard movie night:
Line the walkway with lanterns — they add to the ambience and help people see their way back to the house.
Make freshly popped popcorn (not microwaved!) with interesting additions like Parmesan cheese and herbs.
Provide throw pillows and blankets so everyone can get comfy.
Have citronella candles or other bug-repelling measures on hand, just in case.
Let kids curl up in sleeping bags during the movie, and roast s'mores together over a fire pit or barbeque after the show.
