12 Top Tips for a Spring Movie Night



According to Phil the Groundhog, Spring is in the air!  The weather has been mild and it is a perfect time for a Movie Night!  Even if the weather doesn't cooperate, a movie night can still be fun!  Some tips for the "cooler" nights of spring:
  1. Have your party guests bring sleeping bags, warm jackets and hoodies
  2. Have a basket of blankets that guests can grab (personalized blankets make a great gift for corporate events)
  3. Place a large tarp on the ground to help guests stay dry
  4. Blow up air matressess for kids to lounge on
  5. Have a fire-pit or outdoor heater to warm your hands by
  6. Put up a pop-up tent for guests to sit under and stay dry
  7. Have hand warmers on "hand" HeatMax Hot Hands 2 Handwarmer (40 Pairs)
  8. Have a basket full of inexpensive knit gloves
  9. Have a basket of scarves.  Fleece scarves can be easily made by purchasing some fleece and cutting it in strips (try movie or sports themed fleece)
  10. Plan on warming "comfort foods."  A crock-pot full of Chili, soup or stew, gooey mac and cheese or a baked potato bar with all the fixings.    
  11. Skip the ice cream and roast marshmallows 
  12. Have plenty of hot chocolate available (and maybe a hot toddy for the adults!)
