A Girls night out movie night is a great way for ladies, young and old, to relax, giggle and unwind from the constant “go go go” of their busy appointment-filled lives.
Here are some great ideas to help you plan a fabulous evening with your gal pals:
Invites Get the word out! You can use a service like Evite to invite your friends. Evite has a number of movie night and girls night out invitation templates (and it’s free!).
Seating Indoors or out, your guests need somewhere to sit. If indoors, rearrange furniture and clear out tables to make room for more seating. If you are outside, consider a BYOCAB — Bring Your Own Chair and Blanket.
The Film It’s Girls night out, here’s your chance to watch that chick flick! Here are 5 great suggestions:
Grease It’s the word. Go on sing… no one will judge
Thelma and Louise Road trip for Girls
The Notebook Don’t forget the tissues
Love Actually Great movie for the Christmas Holidays
Notting Hill Hugh Grant at his bubbling best
Not Just for Movies How about a season premiere or season finale on the big screen? Parenthood, Bachelor/Bachelorette, Downton Abbey or coming soon the Outlander series.
Food Popcorn and movie snacks are a must! You can always theme your food with what you are showing. “Drink tea, there’s lots of tea” with your Notting Hill or Downton Abbey party.
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”
