A high-end home theater offers an endless array of entertaining opportunities throughout the year. Taking the time to carefully design a personalized entertainment room with everything from a flawless theater screen, plush seating carefully arranged for optimal viewing pleasure, the artfully arrayed lighting features, and so forth is an impressive undertaking. It is practically required to showcase the final product in all of its cinematic glory as frequently as possible.
- Super Bowl- In the beginning of every year this super-sized sporting spectacular incites a frenzy of media purchases, as hosts wish to offer prime viewing of the big game. With a home theater already installed, along with the necessary ideal seating setup and surround sound system you are already ahead of the game. Have die-hard fans in the front of the room, with casual observers more interested in the edgy commercials than the on-field action seated towards the back of the room closer to the drinks and food. By keeping the refreshments as far away from the screen as possible, it will insure that those looking more for social hour than sports night are just where they want to be. Be forewarned that friends will quickly request follow-up parties for March Madness, fight night, and any other sports screening imaginable.
- Awards Show Viewings- Over time most people have held home viewing parties of the multitude of awards shows. With a new home theater as the screening locale, suddenly donning duds as glitzy as the celebrities themselves will not seem so absurd. Go all out with evening attire and sophisticated cocktails and hors d'oeuvres. If a more casual atmosphere is preferred, encourage guests to dress up as their favorite celebrity and have them act the part all night. The big screen entertainment will only help feed the off-screen fun.
- Personalized Film Festivals- Not everyone is able to jet off to Cannes or Sundance for the annual acclaimed film festivals, but there is no need to miss out on the experience of quality cinema at its best. Create unique film fests at home. Decide to host a Sundance soiree with a filming of past festival winners at the same time the event is happening in Utah. Or go for a one of a kind event by choosing a star or director to focus on and gather several of their best works to view. Encourage guests to get in on the fun by helping come up with the theme, or voting on the films during the festival. This is a great way to connect with fellow film aficionados.
- Family Reunion Features- No more laptop loops of family pictures, as annual family get-togethers can now serve as screening time of classic home videos. On the invitation ask everyone to bring in family videos from days gone by, or even recent reels of reunion attendees. Keep the videos playing in the home theater and invite everyone to settle in for a full-on marathon or merely stop in for a quick glimpse throughout the day. Families that keep reunions busy with games and other outdoor activities will find this is a perfect way to wind down after such a full day.
- Children’s Birthday Parties- A look at Pinterest or any parenting magazine will confirm that children’s birthday parties have become elaborate affairs of entertaining and wowing kids. Home theaters make perfect venues for an over the top home birthday party that little ones will not soon forget. Allow the birthday honoree to pick out his or her favorite movie, and set that as the theme. Buy personal sized boxes of candy and set up a concession stand where guests can trade in tickets for treats. Pop fresh popcorn and dress as an usher to really get in on the theme. Even older kids will enjoy have a personal night at the theater complete with all their favorite snacks and friends.
These are only a few of the party possibilities offered by a home theater. Putting in a home theater is all about the entertainment experience, and guests will be both amazed and entertained by the many productions sure to air in your home theater.
