Movie Parties

My family (meaning the family I grew up in) LOVES movie parties. These parties generally involve costumes, games, activities, and food all based on the chosen movie. Over the years we've done parties based on

George of the Jungle
Arsenic & Old Lace
The Princess Bride
Napoleon Dynamite
The Incredibles
Holes
Bolt
Toy Story 2
A Christmas Carol
Finding Nemo
(and I'm sure there are others that I just can't think of right now)

My little family in Delaware has also done parties based on Monsters, Inc. and Curious George when we've had family in town.

Here are some sample photos:

Napoleon Dynamite: Russ as Kip

The Incredibles: Create-Your-Own-Superhero

Curious George: Yellow Hats for Everyone

Toy Story 2: Cowboy Photo Shoot

Bolt: Perform tasks while tethered to someone else.

Anyway, when my parents were visiting last week we decided to do a Tangled movie party.

We started by searching for magic flowers. Then playing hide-and-seek.
We also tried our hands at Rapunzel's favorite pastime - painting.

Ashlyn's Artwork

Kaylee's Artwork
(which looks remarkably like the real Rapunzel's lantern painting)

And of course we had to make a few Rapunzel wigs.



We also ate tangled spaghetti for dinner and we un-tangled pull-n-peel licorice while we watched. Fun times. Fun movie. Fun memories.

  1. Thanks, Anne, for passing on such a fun idea... I am remembering an "It's A Wonderful Life" movie party we did when together at Christmas. You are wonderful!
