BYOB And Rev Up Your Backyard Barbeque With a Unique BBQ Movie Party!

A barbeque movie party is reminiscent of the old drive-in movies a lot of us remember. And BYOB on your party invitations actually means Bring Your Own Blanket!

Besides the normal BBQ preparations involving food, grill supplies, chips, beans and drink, the movie BBQ party will involve setting up your outdoor theatre. Use whatever projector system you have to display your movie selection. All you need is a movie projector of any type, screen, small sound system and the movie to go with it. Announce your movie selection in your invitations and make sure to make it family friendly for the kids. Many popular movies on DVD are entertaining for both adults and children.

The kids will get a kick out of having their own “bag of popcorn” and a fun little project involves getting small paper bags from a dollar store and filling them with fresh buttery popcorn. Set up a candy counter on a small table for them to pick out favorite chocolate or gummy treats. You might have a hard time keeping the adults out of that area, but that’s part of the fun. The variety of activity in this type of backyard movie party is pleasing and entertaining for all ages.

When you set up your theatre area, plan to have enough space to spread out blankets so no one feels crowded when they are lounging for the main feature. Guests might want to bring lounge chairs and pillows for leisurely comfort. Those items can also be mentioned in your custom printed invitations.

As guests arrive, help them place their blankets or chairs positioned toward your screen area. Your screen can be a conventional projector screen, a white sheet or even a flat white wall of your house or garage.

Surround-sound systems are very inexpensive and most people have good sound speakers to generate audible, movie quality sound for everyone’s pleasure. But if you are playing something like Pirates of the Caribbean with lots of explosions, be sure to warn the neighbors! It is best to set up and test the equipment a day in advance so there are no technical surprises at the last moment. You’ll also know that you have all the cables and drop-cords you need. Be sure to have a backup plan in case of unexpected rain showers.

Suggested wording for your backyard BBQ movie party invitations can be something like:

BYOB! Backyard BBQ Movie Night At The Webers!

Bring your own blanket, lawn chair and pillow.

Come ready for steaks and a good show.

Our theatre will be under the stars

Like drive in movies without the cars.
