Getty ImageFact: Summer weather is a dream scenario.
Not only do you get to spend your days frolicking in the sun, but it also stays warm enough for you to enjoy the outdoors well into the evening. And in the spirit of staying out late, you're also in the mood to entertain.
One genius way to gather your friends in a low-key way? Throw an outdoor movie night right in your own backyard. Set up a screen, pick a flick, provide some snacks and you're set.
Did we mention you don't even have to leave your house?
First thing's first: You're going to need this in order to watch that movie.
And what's movie night without an actual theatre-sized big screen?

This is pretty much the quintessential movie snack right here, people.

And since everyone has their preferences, it's a nice touch to let them personalize their snack.
Whether you're going with sangria or lemonade, you're gonna need a place to put your batch.
You're also going to need something to hold that freshly popped popcorn, aren't you now?
Rule of life: Pizza is always a good idea. And something tells us you'll be using this oven for more than just movie nights.

And don't forget that you'll need somewhere comfy to sit (that also has enough room for you to snuggle with SO while you watch).

But if you're rolling solo, melt into this outdoor bean bag.
Lastly, just as a precaution to make sure you don't get chilly, have a blanket handy. You are outside, afterall.
Now all that's left to do is press play!
