We hosted a fun outdoor movie night in our backyard for some of the youth from our church and it was such a fun night!
What to serve
I served popcorn, red vine and a mix of other candies and all the ingredients to
make smore’s! We have a fire pit with a portable gas fire ring that sits inside of the fire pit. It runs on a propane tank that sits behind the fire pit
Table Set Up
The kids really loved all the treats and gobbled them all up!
Movie Screen DIY
To make our simple movie “screen” use a white sheet stapled to two 2X4’s top and bottom. To hang the screen up we used wood screw hooks screwed into the pergola. We have used many times and it works really well, unless it is windy then the screen wiggles a little too much.
To show the movie Nacho Libre we used a lap top connected to a projector. Nacho Libre movie is such a classic and the kids really got a kick out of it.
As the night went on our lights that we hung up onto poles on the grass area glowed in the backyard and everyone got comfy and enjoyed the movie 🙂

Karins KottageWelcome to Karins Kottage! There is always something fun going on! You would think after becoming an empty nester couple that our nest would be very quiet and empty but our Kottage nest is usually more full than what we started out with! You might find me hosting a birthday party or graduation party and a baby shower on the same weekend or a big outdoor get together with 25 of our friends and family in the backyard or maybe I might be in the kitchen trying out a new recipe for my hubby and I to grill on the BBQ for a quiet night for the two of us. I am passionate about entertaining and setting a beautiful table! I may or may not have an addiction to cloth napkins and fun salad plates oh and goblets too! I think I will always have a home decorating DIY project in the works as long as my hubby is on board with me haha. We have painted A LOT in the 6 homes we have owned in the 35 years that we have been married as well as re-done multiple pieces of furniture, added wall and ceiling treatments, replaced lights, bathroom fixtures and even tiled floors! I have sewn what seems like a million window treatments for our home as well as for family, made slipcovers, and duvets and even a formal dress or two!

This looks fun!
If the screen wiggles too much, just say it's in 3D.
I would like to do the outdoor movie on a warm Idaho night, but we couldn't start it until 10pm. The sun doesn't go down until then!
Haha I love that 3D 😂 I will tell them that next time for sure! The kids actually thought it was funny when the screen wiggles and distorted the faces 😂
This looks amazing! What a fun night!
Great movie choice! Love the snack selection!
So fun! I bet the kids will always remember that one! :) Beautiful set up too! ❤️
