Birthday Bash Ideas: an at Home Screening

A movie marathon is a terrific way to celebrate a birthday and can be easily integrated into any party. Birthday movie marathons work equally well for both children and adults. Hosting a private screening of birthday themed movies is a sure way to guarantee fun. Here are some ways to make a birthday truly memorable with some birthday bash films and some home cinema decor ideas to make the occasion an unforgettable one.

Setting up a Cinematic Atmosphere

Lacking a plasma or LCD TV worthy of screening fine films for your guests? If so why not rent the equipment? Companies are willing to lease out audio-visual equipment so that revellers can use high quality equipment for a single evening’s action. Many rental companies offer short-term hire contracts, and will even install the goods, saving you time and eliminating frustration if you cannot get the equipment to work correctly. Comfy sofas, popcorn and refreshing cold drinks are an absolute must, while dim lighting, and some candles make for good movie decor.

Direct TV offers direct movie ordering to make movie selection even easier. Direct TV discount codes and Direct TV movie vouchers make movie ordering very simple, fast and affordable.
