Plan a Family Movie Night!

By Melissa Hucal November 21, 2013
Looking for a fun and inexpensive way to spend some quality time with your family? Host a movie night in your living room! With just a little pre-planning and some easily added special touches, you can create a night that will make some lasting memories.

Ready? Let's start planning! 

Set a date! Put in on the calendar and "invite" all your family members. Make it official by handing out tickets.

Set the stage! Turn your home into a theater - lights low, seats comfy. You can even haul out the extra blankets and pillows to create a lounge area right on the floor.

Serve the snacks! A movie night just isn't complete without some movie-style snacks. Take popcorn up a notch with Snack Cones, combine all the best salty and sweet theater flavors in this Movie Theater Bark or get the whole family involved in making a 4-Square Family Pizza.

Roll the show! Pick a movie as a family. If you can't decide, have everyone put their selection in a hat and draw one. Then use the rest to schedule future movie nights! Remember, it's not as much about what you watch as who you are watching it with!
