What You Need for an Outdoor Movie Night

Summer is here and the weather is heating up so naturally, I want to spend all of my time outside! I love doing dinner alfresco or lounging in our backyard on the weekends, but the latest activity on my summer bucket list is to have an outdoor movie night. There’s something about watching a movie outside that makes it feel like an event, whether you’re hosting a movie night with friends or just want to do it by yourself or with your significant other!
