Set a big screen using a white fabric or white canvas and prepare some surround sound systems to have a feeling of a real cinema. You can start playing a movie for kids first, then as it gets darker, you can have romantic, thriller, or horror movies to spice up the atmosphere. Prepare some food to enjoy, for instance, popcorn, sweets, hotdogs, chips, or other foods. Or you can have a potluck or even invite some food trucks. To light up the ambiance, you can make a specific dress code for the participants, like wearing pajamas, jeans, a white t-shirt, or other ideas that are simple and easy to follow.
