Church Fundraiser

You can use your church grounds to host an unforgettable evening. It will bring a sense of joy and life to your faith community. As the family-friendly film of your choice creates a welcoming backdrop to this community event, children will enjoy playing in the open air, as grown-ups take advantage of the time to catch up and connect with each other.

Community

Members of your congregation will enjoy being involved in every step of the process. Invest the entire church community in the creation of this event. Introduce the church fundraiser and select a theme which relates to the movie you will be showing. Food, decorations, and flyers advertising the event can all feature this theme. It can relate to a central message that your church would like to give to the community.

Concessions

Volunteers can sell food and drinks, donated by church members or purchased in bulk. Popcorn is always a hit – check out some flavored popcorn ideas to add some pizzazz. Be sure to have plenty of drink buckets and ice so the members of the community can stay hydrated with bottles of water or enjoy cans of soda and other beverages.

Before the show starts, volunteer musicians can serenade the guests with music relating to the movie. Children will enjoy the opportunity to create decorations and/or wear costumes relating to the theme. If you have enough space, you may also wish to raise extra funds. You can do this through game or activity booths, where members of the community can donate their time, skills and talents.

Ultimate Outdoor Movies also offers large indoor screens. If your church wishes to host a movie event inside, explore our variety of options today!

The Best Back to School Movies

For Young Kids…

There’s a long list of school themed movies to choose from for younger boys and girls such as Diary of a Wimpy Kid, Coco, Moana, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, or their favorite Disney film. If you watch Akeelah and the Bee, you can pause the movie to host a mini spelling bee to start preparing them for school.

For Tweens…

The tweens will find Avenger’s, Marvel movies, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and Back to the Future, engaging, making them look forward to the fun they have once they go back to school. Get them up on their feet for a sing and dance along with the cast of High School Musical – even if they don’t want to admit they know all the words and dance moves!

For a More Mature Crowd…

For the teens and the more mature crowd, Mean Girls, Bring It On, 10 Things I Hate About You, Clueless, Jaws and classic Breakfast Club will make the crowd long to be back to school in the halls with friends.

Outdoor Movies are the Perfect Back to School Event!

It’s easy to create a cozy viewing area by throwing blankets on the ground, covering pool floats or air mattresses with blankets, or simply crashing out on the patio furniture all around the yard. There’s no bad view with a giant inflatable movie screen; everyone can see perfectly!

Butter some popcorn, throw some drinks in a cooler, or even make s’mores as your guests relax to enjoy the last few carefree nights before school starts! Check out the options for a Backyard or Premier Screen on our events page for a big screen film experience made simple by our outstanding customer service and commitment to our customers.

Oh wait, now it is.

With the LED Dive In Movie package from Ultimate Outdoor Movies, it’s simple to plan a movie night where people can mingle. Even if your building has tried other social activities without much success, this is better:

Meeting Neighbors is Easy

Do you feel a little guilty when you see flyers for potluck dinners and other events put up by individual residents or the building manager? You’d like to support the cause, but you don’t want to buy an expensive party platter or spend hours preparing a big dish. With our movie nights, all you do is provide the film and an electric outlet.

It’s Scalable

It can be scary to organize an event if you’re worried about how many people will show up. With a movie night you can make a success out of any size group. While the Dive In package is designed to be poolside, you can also show a movie on your rooftop or in your community room.

It Could be a Series

Don’t like the pressure of coming up with new apartment event ideas for getting together? Everyone loves a series, especially when you’re showing popular outdoor movies.

If you want neighbors who will invite you to their parties and watch your cat when you go away for the weekend, start planning your own LED Dive In Movie night. Contact us for more information or ask your building management to do it.

Outdoor Movie Experience

An ultimate outdoor movie experience can be just what your place of worship needs. It will get people excited about your organization. Instead of the tried-and-true potluck dinner, invite members and prospective members of your congregation out for an evening of entertainment under the stars with a giant inflatable movie screen. Mom and Dad can relax and unwind a bit while the kids stay entertained. And with movie screen screen rental sizes to fit any location and audience size and helpful technicians on hand during the event, Ultimate Outdoor Movies makes the whole process easy.

Choosing a Movie

That leaves religious leaders with only one decision—what movie to show. Consider focusing on movies relevant to a theme you’ve covered in sermons or a Sunday School class. For churches looking to attract new members, a good choice might be a movie popular with folks under thirty since they’re often the group least likely to attend church each week, according to the Pew Research Center.

Now is the perfect time to create your own outdoor theater movie event, too; the weather is warming up, the frenzy of Easter events has passed, and Christmas is a long way off. Many religious organizations have programs like Vacation Bible School coming up. An outdoor movie can be a perfect addition to those events with an amazing blow up movie screen.

An outdoor movie provides the perfect opportunity to showcase what your church has to offer. A welcoming spirit is one of the key aspects found amongst growing churches today, and a relaxed evening outside watching a movie with soon-to-be friends can help build that all-important sense of community.

Get the Word Out!

It’s important to get the word out early because you want a great turnout. The more people show up to the movie night at the apartment the more likely they are to strike up a conversation and get to know each other. Social media is a great way to start. Make an event on the apartment’s Facebook page and send an invitation to each of your tenants. Another idea is to create posters and hang them up on the complex’s bulletin board. You can also slide a personal invitation under each tenant’s door. This may be time-consuming, but it guarantees that each and every one of your tenants will know about the event. There are a lot of free templates online to make these poster invitations, so you can choose the one that suits your style.

Raffle off Awesome Prizes

Sometimes it’s difficult to gather the whole complex because of everyone’s busy schedules, but something that brings a lot of people around is a good incentive. Raffling off cool prizes, for example, is always a great idea because everyone loves giveaways. You can raffle off movie vouchers, toys for the younger kids in the complex, appliances for the adults, and so much more.

Pick the Movie

Picking the movie can determine the theme of the whole party. If your complex consists of mostly children it might be a good idea to play a kid-friendly movie like Moana, Finding Nemo, or another water-based movie to play into the dive in movie theme. If you want to host a movie night for the older kids, consider playing Jaws or maybe even Freddy vs Jason. These are scarier water movies, but that suspense on the water might draw in an adventurous crowd. Screen size can be determined based on the number of guests that will be attending. If it is a small community pool with up to 75 guests, our backyard screen is a great size. We also have larger screen sizes for bigger groups like our Xtreme screen size which is great for up to 5,000 guests. If your complex has noise restrictions, we also offer a silent cinema package.

Order the Food

Food is another great incentive for pool parties. The possibilities here are endless, so if you need to narrow it down a bit, Food & Wine has some great pool party snack ideas. Popcorn is always an easy choice for a movie night and we can help you with that. Whatever you choose, make sure to remind your guests not to swim for about 30 minutes after they eat.

Light it Up!

The best part of an LED Dive in movie is the incorporation of lights. This will add another layer of fun to the party. Glow sticks can be a great, cheap decoration and souvenir for your guests. They can be thrown in the pool to add some color to the party. You can also give out glow necklaces so that each guest will leave with a gift. Party City has everything glow you could ever need. Pool noodles are also affordable and they can be used to make the pool glow by making pool luminaries. These are only a few of the many things you can do to really make your party glow!

Your Ultimate Outdoor Movie package includes the screen rental package with screen sizes to fit any budget and any audience size, High Definition projection, a DVD player, speakers, a mixer with microphone for announcements, a 2.5 hour rental, and a professional technician that setups and stays at the event to make sure it is perfect and then breaks everything down at the end of the night. Ultimate Outdoor Movies has everything you need to make your dive in movie night a major success. If you need any help or some tips, feel free to contact us because we are here to help!

Making The Choice

The first thing I think about when I want to use an outdoor screen at my party is just how big of a party I’m throwing. If I am just entertaining the kids and their friends for something like good grades, I will focus on savings. This is where the folks at Ultimate Outdoor Movies really shine because they offer a backyard package with a 12 ft screen for just a few viewers. This allows me to throw these kinds of small parties for my kids more often.

The other type of party I throw less often is a large family reunion-style get together. For these, we rent a public park and go for a much more significant screen with all of the extras. Buying my popcorn and refreshments from Ultimate Outdoor Movies allows me to save time and money. Another tip I learned from the blog at the website Money Crashers is to focus my spending on the one thing that is most important to me (the screen and sound equipment rental) and take it easy on some of the other elements. I send out free e-card invitations over the internet and use my Spotify account to stream music. These savings mean I can splurge on other things. For more information on outdoor movie rental ideas, visit the website of my friends at Ultimate Outdoor Movies.

What I Get For My Money

When the party is finally underway, the value of what I’ve bought really hits home. The guys come out to my house, or the park, and run the full setup and teardown process for me. This means I don’t have to think about the entertainment at all. They also bring plenty of sound equipment and a projector that makes the movie look just like a professional theatre. The scalability allows me to choose the services I think are worth my money.

The best part of it all is hearing the funny sound my kids make when I tell them we can have a poolside movie party. With the help of a giant movie screen and some professional management, I can not only make my kids happy but impress my family and friends with my party-throwing skills. That, plus the budget-friendly scalability makes it all worth it.
