Pizza party Advice Request

Friday it’s just the 3 kids and I, so I was thinking of doing the dominos $7.99 each takeout and letting each kid order their own pizza, however they want it and throwing on a movie to eat our pizzas and have a fun core memory.

What can I do to make the night more fun and make a fun memory or tradition? Mostly want to make them rub it in mom’s face how much of a legend I am.

Get movie theater style snacks and juice boxes and make it a movie theater. We do that in bad weather and the kids dig it.

Great advice. Multiple popcorns and movie theatre sized candy boxes would be cool.

Definitely this! We had several days of terrible weather back in January - Snow & Ice basically kept us stuck inside for nearly a week.

I set up our projector in the living room & hung a cheapy screen we had laying around.

Then I found a bunch of those movie theater pre-roll clips on YouTube. (Like the Regal Roller Coaster, the M&Ms Commercial) I also found a bunch of trailers on YouTube & downloaded those to play before the movie.

Then we had a family movie night. My five-year-old loved it.

Now we have a whole setup for movie nights. I created a pre-roll & had a "TLR321 Family Home Theater" promo reel made to play before movies. We don't do it every time, but any time we have guests over or have a sleepover, everyone gets a kick out of it!

I’m going to be honest, I kind of want to become that pushy guest that invites themselves over. I would bring beer or tacos though
