- Play along with the movie's theme to have more fun! Dress up like the characters, or have themed food that matches the movies you're watching.
- Keep all of the snacks and food within arm's reach so people don't have to get up or go into a different room during the movies.
- If you have lots of people and people have different preferences, try setting up different genres of movies in different rooms.
- If you don't have blackout curtains, use dark colored blankets in front of any bright windows instead.
