Summer is the Perfect Time to Catch up on Last Year’s Academy Award Nominated Movies!

…

…

Rather than wasting hours watching mediocre summer television, catch up on the best of the best movies of 2009.  Make it a movie night and invite friends and family to watch with you.

Use PartyIdeaPros.com’s Oscar night ballots as a starting point for choosing your nightly movie. Most of the nominated films are currently available on DVD or through Blockbuster or Netflix membership programs. Stick with Party Idea Pros simpler Movie Night celebration package ideas for your summertime viewing parties.  Then pick two nights during the summer to glam it up with our Lights, Camera, Action and Hollywood Nights celebration packages.

…

Organizing a block party or reunion? Hosting an all school barbeque/fundraiser, a sweet sixteen or teen party, an adult or children’s birthday party, or  even anniversary party?  A backyard movie night is a wonderful theme for any warm weather event.  Just choose your movie to suit the occasion  — think John Wayne, Sponge Bob, Legally Blonde, The Parent Trap, Casa Blanca, Star Wars, Rear Window, The Shawshank Redemption,  Twilight and New Moon double feature and the list goes on and on.   eve

Set Up Your Own Backyard Movie Theater

…

Consider teaming up with your neighbors to purchase a neighborhood outdoor movie set-up that you can all enjoy together on those balmy summer nights or even rotate between houses for more private viewing. How about offering a double feature — a sunset showing for the kids and a more grown-up movie for the adults, after you put the kids to bed.  Set up tents (indoors or out) at a single neighborhood house and rotate parents through “kid duty.”

Best Ideas for a Fun, Patriotic Fourth of July

How to make Independence Day about more than just fireworks and parades

Our 2 favorite ideas from the article …

Do a patriotic good deed. Help de-litter your local park or seashore. “I believe my children will remember how they helped do things that are good for others, like clean up the beach, more than just watching the parade and fireworks,” says Wendy Griffiths, who this weekend plans to take her three daughters out with a garbage bag.

Hold a red, white and blue water balloon fight. Buy a few packages of water balloons and pick out the red, white and blue ones. Save the others for another day.
