Backyard Movie Night + Free Printable

Host a Backyard Movie Night + Food and Setup IdeasLately, backyard movie night parties have been all over the blogosphere.  I was inspired to put together my own fête, with the help of Pat and my friend Julie.  It was much simpler than I had anticipated, because Julie has this awesome almost windowless wall that faces her even awesomer backyard.  I rented a projector from the school’s library and got a DVD from Redbox, which made the total cost for this activity $1.27.  I still cannot get over how great the projection looked.

We watched Moneyball, with Brad Pitt and Jonah Hill.  It’s the story of how a baseball team used statistics and algorithms to create a successful team.  It was a great choice, as it had sports for the guys and for the ladies….Brad Pitt!

I have them in both PDF and JPEG.  The PDF has them repeated so you have a four filmstrips that you can cut up as you’d like.  The JPEG is a single label.

  • Oreo Cookie Bark
  • White Truffle and Cracked Pepper Popcorn
  • Caprese Couscous Salad

All of the recipes were very simple to make.  I made all four the day of the movie and it only took me an afternoon!

The night went off so well we have plans to do it again soon – we might even make it a weekly thing.
