I put together this retro
movie night for my family on vacation...I think you guys will enjoy recreating
this one!! All together, I only spent $30 on all the supplies for this fabulous
family fun event. My tip for you is to be resourceful. Ask your friends,
neighbors, coworkers for supplies when putting on an event like this. I think
you’ll find people are more than willing to lend you party supplies, etc. I was
even able to find someone that had a movie projector and screen to borrow! You
can be totally creative with all the supplies; however, if you want to achieve
this exact look, the supplies are listed below.
You’ll Need:
Projector (ext. cords & sound source)
Movie Screen/Sheet
Table
Mini Mason Jars
Tea Light Candles
Apothecary Jars
Chicken Wire Basket
Berry Baskets*
Basket Liners
Tickets**
Chalkboard Signs
White Tray
Burlap Table Cloth
Coca Cola Crate
Tin Cans (I emptied out a canned vegetable)
Jute
Fabric Garland***
Brown Popcorn Bags (I used alphabet stamps to add detail)
Acrylic Scoops
Candy (bulk)
Mini Variety Candy Bars
Popcorn (obviously)
*The berry baskets are from a site on Etsy called, CM Wrap n' Ship Supply. The shop carries a large variety of fun supplies from movie tickets, jewelry boxes, berry baskets to library cards. The owner was a joy to work with, she responded quickly and delivered quickly as well!
**The movie tickets are from a site on Etsy called, Sweet Party Shop. She carries everything from die cuts, stickers, twine to ice-cream containers...you name it really!! Stop by her shop for last minute party supply necessities!
***Fabric Garland: I went to Joann Fabrics, picked out my color theme and got the lady to cut a half a yard of each color. I didn’t measure out the cuts, I just free handed the length I wanted for the strips. You’ll need to have a piece of rope, ribbon or string to tie your fabric strips onto. Cut all your strips, make piles of each color and simply start tying your pieces onto the string. I used the pull-through technique!
My best friend runs her own
business called, Homemade Bride. Her site (here) has over 100 rentals to
choose from. If you have a vintage/retro
taste, you’ll be in love with all her rentals!! I used a few of her apothecary
jars and the coca cola crate to finish off the table.
