Drive-In Movie Party

So you’ve read our post with creative Valentine party ideas you can create at Walmart, right? Now you’re wondering what theme we chose for our party? The Drive-In Movie Party! We love a cozy night at home watching movies so this theme is perfect for us. We had a budget of $50 to work with so we combined some items we had at home with lots of fun ideas from Walmart.

I started with a cute sign as an invitation to our party. I’ve made this a free download so you can print your Drive-In Movie Invitation here.

Drive-In Movie Party Ideas:

We have a sectional sofa in the basement so I moved it around to make it look like the back of a truck filled with pillows for comfort. Every drive-in movie needs a cool vehicle, right?

As you’ll remember from my Walmart shopping post, I found these cool glowing balloons and a helium tank at Walmart so I used them to create “stars” for our ceiling. My son loved this part!

It was such a cozy setup – my family wanted to sleep down there last night. I really love those glowing balloons and I’m going to buy more for my son’s dance-themed party this spring.

The stand under our TV has several shelves on it so I used this to hold all the movie night snacks we picked up from Walmart – popcorn, mini Valentine’s candy (Smarties and Hershey’s Kisses), cookies and pop.

   

You’ll find a large variety of movies at Walmart to choose from. We picked a family favourite – Toy Story! It was such a cozy little setup and we look forward to our next Drive-In Movie Party for Valentine’s Day.
