Movie Nights

I have a younger nephew who lives close by, and the other night I decided to host a movie night for him and his family. Aside from the costs for dinner (in which I made homemade mac n' cheese with bacon bits), the goodies and decorations cost me around $15.00, if not less. We all dressed up in our finest clothes, as if we were at a movie premiere. I also had a "crafty craft" for the little man. I added food coloring to soapy water and had him blow bubbles through a straw onto a piece of paper to create bubble art. He loved it! I decorated with printable coloring pages from disney movies and left some uncolored so that he could color them. I also borrowed a concessions board that my mother-in-law created for her own movie night that was absolutely genius! She used foam letter stickers on a still-wrapped poster frame and wrote the prices for all the goodies, which were as follows: hugs, kisses, and love. Since the poster frame was stilled wrapped the whole family signed it with permanent markers to make it appear as though they were signatures from "famous people." We had a blast! I thought I'd share my ideas. Here are some pictures:

This is the concession sign I borrowed...

Mac n' Cheese!!

I printed pictures of everyone and glued them onto stars I cut out of construction paper. I wrote their names beneath their photo to make them appear as the stars of the event.

I used a movie bucket from our local theater that we had purchased in the past to fill with Fiddle Faddle (you could use Cracker Jacks) and Twizzlers.
