Absolutely Audrey: The Best of Summer Movie Nights: The Decades

The thing my friends and I have become most well-known for is our invention of "Summer Movie Nights." The idea was created from our love of themes, movies, dressing up, and documenting all of this with looooottts of pictures! Every summer since freshman year of college, we hold about 5-6 extravagant movie nights, each one with a different theme corresponding to a movie. We watch the movies usually in my backyard, projecting them on the side of the house. For our movie nights everything is in theme: our outfits, choice of foods and drinks, music, and decor. I am going to use the next couple of posts to relive the best of our summer movie nights beginning with our Decade Themes.

Our first movie night ever: 50's Cocktail Party Summer 2007

All the girls in their cocktail frocks with our delicious drinks!

80's MOVIE NIGHT: Summer 2009

Footloose was our movie of the night, we broke out in spontaneous dancing several times while watching the movie.

All of us in our 80s outfits. We held this movie night in Marci's basement, where she has an awesome home theater.

70's movie night: summer 2009

We sat on the floor, shared all kinds of fondue, and had one of the most memorable disco dance parties of all time!

BEST DECADE MOVIE NIGHT: 60's Night- Summer 2009

60s Night: Started with dinner and milkshakes at the fabulously retro Parkette Restaurant, then to my house for a drive-in movie, "That Thing You Do!"

We had so much fun at the Parkette, we have decided to make a return trip again this year! Of course we made quite a scene in our 60s outfits, posing for pictures all over the parking lot!
