What’s better than a night at the movies? How about gathering with your friends, family, and neighbors, and taking in a movie or the big game from your own backyard! That’s right – we’re talking about an outdoor movie night, and I’m sharing everything you need to make it happen [hint: it’s not much, but a few extras make it even more fun!].
The best part [aside from comfy pillows, candy, and shooting stars overhead]? You can get everything from one spot – Walmart! I mean, I couldn’t say no to these floor cushions, these black and white striped pillows, and the lanterns!! And the adorable popcorn containers! And with the convenience of Walmart’s buy online pickup in store feature, I was able to have both the treats and movie supplies loaded into my car within a few hours! Anytime I can get what I need without getting myself and the kids out of the car is a win in my book!
The Setup
Projector // Projector Stand // Screen // Teddy Blanket // White Blanket // Mums // Lanterns // Flameless Candle // Black + White Stripe Neck Roll Pillow // Black + White Stripe Rectangle Pillows // Black Floor Cushions // Tiki Torch
Comfort is key! From a tiki torch to keep the bugs away to floor cushions and neck roll pillows, we piled on our comfy blankets [tan and white!] with all the comfort we needed to take in the show! And don’t forget the lanterns to light the way!
The Tech
Projector // Projector Stand // Screen // Teddy Blanket // White Blanket // Mums // Lanterns // Flameless Candle // Black + White Stripe Neck Roll Pillow // Black + White Stripe Rectangle Pillows // Black Floor Cushions
It really doesn’t *require* much to have an outdoor movie night, but one key is a projector! We grabbed this one, where we could either use a connector to plug in a device for playing our movie, or download our favorite streaming service right to the projector! We added on a speaker for additional sound, and sent the picture right up onto the screen as soon as it got dark!
The Snacks
White Tray // Popcorn Containers // Drink Tub
It’s not a movie without snacks, am I right? Our kiddos loved being able to grab a thing of popcorn [inside these cute red and white containers!], and mix in their sweet treats of choice! They may or may not have been sneaking candy solo too 😉
As one of LIY’s Content Creators, Lauren also doubles as our Amazon Queen and her Facebook posts are the reason why we’ve all hit checkout more times on Prime in the past year than we’ve told our significant other “I love you”. With dreams of living on the water [an inflatable pool is currently keeping said dream alive] and a deep appreciation to 2000’s hip hop, Lauren is always up for an adventure while secretly hoping she can hang out in the tub with a glass of wine.
