A few years ago, I read an article in a magazine about a couple having a movie party in their backyard.\u00a0 I always thought that was a great idea, and I told myself I wanted to host a movie party one day.\u00a0 I was thrilled when we purchased our house and knew that after we completed our major back yard landscaping project, we would have a place to host a movie party.<\/h3>\n

Our neighborhood is very close-knit group.\u00a0 They have an annual holiday party, Halloween party, and the wine crawl. \u00a0We were sure they would welcome the chance to get together in a different setting.<\/h3>\n

I decided that I would hand deliver the invitations so that I would have more freedom to be creative with them.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I went to a few stores and looked online for invitation ideas, but I wasn\u2019t really finding what I wanted. \u00a0Plus, they were pretty expensive.\u00a0 I went to a local party store and found some cute, small popcorn containers. I purchased them along with some tissue paper, yellow crinkle paper, and bags.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What I was going for was a popcorn container with the movie ticket in the back.\u00a0 The movie ticket would have the party information on it.<\/h3>\n

I put something simple together on the computer and added it to some card stock to give it some definition. \u00a0I put a rain date, just in case. \u00a0We are showing \u00a0“National Lampoon’s Vacation”. \u00a0Since there are a few questionable scenes for younger ones, we provided a link so parents can read parents’ guide ahead of time. \u00a0They can then make an informed decision about bringing their children to the show.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As filler for the invitation, I stuffed the popcorn box with tissue paper and then put some hot glue on the top. \u00a0Then I added the yellow crinkle paper to give a popcorn effect.\u00a0 I put the movie ticket\/information in the back.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

When I delivered the invitations, not everyone was home. \u00a0I put their invites in clear bags and tied them with ribbon. \u00a0 It protected them from the weather and kept the paper contained.<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After we have the party, I will \u00a0be sure to write a post to let you know how it goes.<\/h3>\n

Cheers!<\/h3>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
