Here’s a great idea from a double birthday party we threw for our daughter and her friend a few weeks ago. It was tremendous fun, the kids had a ball and the parents did too! The movie is loosely based on Romeo and Juliet with some great music by Elton John.
Here are some great tips if you want Host a Gnomeo and Juliet themed party:
Are you a Red or a Blue?
Decorate with these two bright colors, hand out blue and red beads when each guest arrives (which will be used later for team games). Take the theme throughout the party, 1/2 red and 1/2 blue table coverings, red and blue plates, napkins and cups, blueberries and strawberries, red and blue cupcake papers…..you get the idea!
Host a Lawn Mower Race!
Blue team and red team face off for the lawn mower relay. Each Gnomeo and Juliet takes a turn at racing around the cone and back and passing the plastic lawn mower to the next guest. It’s a scream! You can pick up these cheap mowers for around $14 eachand spray paint them Red and Blue (make sure to use spray paint that is designed for plastic).
Paul the Outdoor Movie Guy saw his first outdoor movie screening back in the 1990’s at a VW festival in the UK and was hooked.
“Watching Blade Runner outdoors on a huge screen in my old 68’ Bug” he says, “was amazing!”. Wanting to share this passion with his young family, Paul started hosting movie nights. “When I introduced my children to Star Wars, it needed to be big screen experience.”
His equipment increased in size and thoughts of creating a business from a passion started forming. At one point the Mother-in-law mentioned, “you should do this as a business”.
With a background in Recreation Management and Information Technology and a passion for film, FunFlicks San Francisco Bay Area was created in 2009. Over the next few years, other locations were opened allowing his team to provide outdoor movies all over Northern California, Oregon and Northern Nevada.
“I love creating experience driven events and take pride in walking our clients through the process of setting up their movie nights.”
Whether it’s working with Film Festivals, creating a retro style drive-in, working with Parks and Recreation or little Johnny’s Birthday Party, it’s all about community and the shared experience of watching a movie together.
Always looking at how technology can enhance the experience, Paul has added items like Silent Cinema, a Red-Carpet photo booth, Hashtag printers or even professional photographers at events. “My team looks forward to helping you create a unique outdoor movie experience”
