A Star Wars Themed Movie Night With Dad!
When was the last time you had a movie night with dad? Mom’s often get all the recognition but what about dad!?! One of the ways we like to bond as a family and show dad just how much he is appreciated is by having movie nights. We even let him choose the movie! With Star Wars being the latest rage, this was an easy pick for him because our family love Star Wars! Father’s Day is approaching fast so we decided to make sure this was one of his most memorable movie nights yet. It’s so much more personable, economical and fun to set up your own movie night for dad at home. The party continues long after the movie is over!
Once the movie was set, we looked for fun, yet healthy treats that fell in theme with the movie. One of the things we love about family movie nights is the ability to decorate and have fun with the family before the movie even starts. For our Star Wars movie night with dad, we decided to make a Star Wars Snack Station!
After roaming the aisles at Kroger, we decided on Popchips Star Wars Galaxy Puffs! We picked up a few bags for the kids and and I to enjoy with dad.
Trying to find healthy snack options always seems to be a daunting task. That’s why I was so happy when I stumbled across Popchips Star Wars Galaxy Puffs and read the bag! Who wouldn’t love snacking on Galaxy Puffs? Their fun-to-eat shapes and healthy benefits makes them an easy choice. It’s definitely a snack that the entire family will love! I love that they are non-GMO, gluten free and made with real aged cheddar.
They are definitely a better-for-you snack alternative and this makes me extremely happy! As a mom and wife, it’s truly rewarding when I’m feeding my family healthier options besides, chips and candy which is always my family’s first choice. So, set up a simple movie snack station, relax and enjoy the time with dad.
We loved them! The kid’s especially had a great time trying to find the mystery shape. This even turn into a competition with dad to see who could find it first! We love partaking of fun snacks that taste great, are fun to eat and also that prove to be great conversation pieces. This is that snack!
Today, I am sharing a fun and fast way to put together an in-house movie night the whole family can enjoy!
How To Set Up Your Star Wars Snack Station
I had fun setting up a quick little snack station for movie night with dad!
1.) Let dad select the movie.
2.) Once the movie is selected, determine your color scheme and create your decor plan. Keep it simple!
3.) Gather things that you already have at home that may fall in theme. For example, my son collects Star Wars Action Figures so they were the perfect addition to the table. I also used a tiered porcelain tower that I already had to display some of my chosen snacks.
4.) Head to your local grocery store to purchase snacks that fall in theme with your movie. I shopped at my local Kroger for the Popchips Star Wars Galaxy Puffs.
5.) Shop for any decorations or paper goods you need, such as, plates, cups, balloons, table clothes, or confetti.
6.) Hurry home and let your creative juices flow!
- Set up your table and add a table cloth in your color scheme. I used a card table that I already had and added a black table cloth.
- Once your table is in place, create a back drop for your movie snack station. I used paper plates for my snack station back drop that fell within my color scheme, blue and black.
- Add some type of wording that reflects your “why”. I used a light box that I already had to say “Movie Night With Dad”. You can also use a chalkboard.
- Next, add the props that you already had at home that go with your movie theme. I used the licensed Star Wars Action Figures that my son collects.
- Then add your snacks. Trying to keep the snacks better-for-you options, I added Jello cups, beverages, carrots, marshmallows and of course the Popchips Star Wars Galaxy Puffs.
- Finally, enjoy your movie with dad!
We like to keep the party going long after the movie is over. As a result, we gathered around the snack station to polish off more snacks with dad. Also, I purchased a Star Wars coloring book so we each selected our favorite pictures for a Star Wars family coloring session. Find your post movie bonus option and enjoy the rest of the night!
