All this talk of movies has made us nostalgic. One of our
most fun friendaversary celebrations was the time we departed from our
traditional tortas and had a movie night. Because we lived a few hours apart,
at the time it just made sense to have a slumber party. Our feature
presentation was #4 on Mary’s list, Mamma
Mia. Here are some ideas so you can plan the perfect movie friendaversary.
1.
Pick a movie. If you need some ideas refer back
to our top
10 list or choose a movie that has significance to you and your friend.
2.
Plan a menu ahead of time. If you really want to
go that extra step have a theme based on your chosen movie. Or you can use our
fabulous popcorn recipe below.
3.
Drinks! Build upon your theme by creating a
signature cocktail. A drink we love that you could totally adapt to suit your
night is the tea-tini. Check out our recipe with some great modification ideas.
4.
Remember, the purpose of a friendaversary is to
celebrate your years together so take some time to reminisce by looking at some
old pictures or reading old Facebook messages. It’s pretty much guaranteed to
get you laughing.
Hope these ideas helped you to plan the perfect movie
friendaversary celebration. Leave us a comment to let us know what your favorite
movie snack is so we can try it out on our next movie night!!!
