What Do You Need for the Perfect Movie Night?

No movie night is complete without a must-see blockbuster. Whether you’re streaming or digging out a DVD, pick your film ahead of time to make the most of your relaxing evening.

Next on the list: snacks, snacks, and MORE SNACKS! Prepare a variety of treats and ensure there's plenty to go around. Guilty of eating most of the popcorn in the first 10 minutes? We feel ya! Finally, stylish home décor will set your movie night off to an award-winning start.

1. Create Custom Movie Tickets

Grab your arts & crafts supplies and make your own movie ticket stubs! This fun activity gets the kids excited for the evening and provides screen-free entertainment – bonus! Draw inspiration from vintage movie tickets using brightly coloured paper and thick black pens. For a personal touch, add attendees’ names and photos – CUTE!

2. Set Up a Projector for Movie Night Magic

There’s something magical about watching your favorite film with a movie projector. Blast your chosen flick onto a blank wall or take your movie night outdoors by projecting it onto a plain bed sheet. It’s a great way to enjoy summer movie nights in your garden!

Create an enchanted outdoor space with charming lighting and lively garden accessories. Summer movie nights… coming soon to a garden near you!

3. Prepare Movie Snacks

What’s a movie night without snacks? Popcorn is a classic—just place the kernels in the microwave and keep an ear out. Once the popping slows to a few seconds between pops, your tasty treat is ready. Remember, grown-ups only for hot popcorn!

Fill bowls with your favorite snacks and pour delicious drinks into stylish glassware. Pumped for your big screening? Same here!

4. Get Cozy with Throws for Your Movie Night

There’s nothing better than snuggling up on the sofa with a good film. Grab your hot chocolate, put on some slippers, and deck out your living room with plush throws and blankets. These cozy additions make your movie night extra comfortable. Scatter a few cushions to add texture (and they’re perfect for hiding behind during scary scenes!).

5. Film Night Fancy Dress

Get inspired by your favorite film stars and recreate their looks with our kids' and adults' fancy dress collections. Hosting a Harry Potter movie marathon? Time to cast a spell and transform into Hermione. Can’t get enough of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory? Or do you love The Wonderful Wizard of Oz? Tap your red shoes and get ready to celebrate!
