How to Create a Romantic Movie Night at Home

There’s something fun and unique about having a romantic date night at home with your partner. You don’t need to book any tables or stand in any lines, there’s no fear of sitting next to someone crunching loudly on popcorn at the movies, and you won’t be burdened with sitting next to a loud couple arguing at an expensive restaurant ruining the whole idea of a romantic night out. It’s a lot more special and intimate having a private movie night in with the one you love. Plus, all you really need is a Sony Blue Disc Player from Buydig.com and a few movies of your choosing. While it can be fun and romantic, it can also turn old and stale if you don’t spice it up every so often. Try one of these better movie date-night ideas to rekindle the fun and romance of movie night.

Atmosphere
You can make your romantic movie night as elegant and tasteful, sexy or completely over the top as you want. This is your opportunity to have a relaxing evening showering each other with love and showing your romantic sides. If you are going for a romantic atmosphere, set the scene by lighting candles around the room to keep it dark and intimate. Sprinkle rose petals on the floor and on the couches, or place single stemmed roses across the coffee table. Make sure you have some soft, furry throws for snuggling under during the movie. Some romantic movies to watch are The Notebook, Ghost, Serendipity, How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days and The Lake House. Don’t forget some romantic snacks to nibble on during the flicks like strawberries dipped in chocolate, chocolate fondue, and of course champagne.

Make it a Theme Night
Choose a theme and center everything you do around it. For example, if you choose an Italian theme, you could eat spaghetti and tiramisu, then watch a movie like The Italian Job or Lady and the Tramp. Some other fun theme ideas you could try are Mexican, Asian, Christmas, Kid’s theme, the 1950’s or 1980’s. Here’s a list of some other movie genre themes along with the movies and snacks you can use to go along with them.

Comedy Movie Night- There’s nothing serious about this movie night. This night is all about kicking back and letting yourselves go with feel-good movies and laughter. Prepare fun food like cookies, cupcakes, ice cream, and of course popcorn! Some fun movies to watch include Dumb and Dumber, Meet the Parents, and The Hangover.

Scary Movie Night– This creates the perfect opportunity to snuggle up close to your partner for those terrifying moments. Keep the room completely dark or dimly lit with just one candle. Better yet, weather permitting, take this date night outdoors and show the movie on a white sheet or the side of the garage using this LG LED Projector from Buydig.com. Have plenty of blankets handy for hiding your face during those squeamish scenes. A few of the scariest movies to view are Scream, The Ring, Friday the 13th or Rosemary’s Baby. Some good munchies to nibble on are pizza, licorice sticks and caramel popcorn.

Action Movie Night– If you two are more into the fast-paced action movies then be sure to move the furniture around so you have plenty of room to high five each other and jump around when the good guys save the day. The perfect action movies for this type of date night would be any of the Die Hard movies, Con Air, or any of the Fast and Furious series. The most appropriate foods to have on hand include hamburgers, sodas, nachos, chips and spicy nuts.

Fantasy Movie Night- Of all the themes, this is perhaps the one you can play around with the most. You can choose to go all out and dress up, decorate the room with items related to the movie and create your own escape from reality. The Hunger Games, Star Wars, and Harry Potter would work perfectly within this genre. A large screen TV from Buydig.com will help bring your fantasy to life! You could create dishes that correlate with the movie to like pretzel light sabers.

Make it a Movie Day
Who says a movie date has to be at night? Clear your calendars for a lazy Sunday snuggled in bed or under blankets on the couch. Make sure you each pick a couple of your favorite films. Plan ahead with easy snacks or take-out menus so that you can spend the whole day in bed.

 

Movie nights are one of the most popular date night choices – especially for couples looking to save money and who would prefer being at home for the evening. Movie date nights are inexpensive and lots of fun, plus it gives you the perfect excuse to cuddle up with your partner on the couch.
