Premiere Outdoor Movies • Aug 26, 2019

Having a popcorn bar for the movie night is a must as kids love it and it's fun. It is even more fun if you build your popcorn bar. You can easily set up your popcorn bar by using materials which you can easily find from any store. The materials will be cheap and you can also customize them as per your taste. They will also be very economical so you don't have to worry about the budget. Following is the method for building the perfect popcorn bar for movie night.

5 Easy Steps To Building Your Own Popcorn Bar For Movie Night

  1. Find your space and figure out how to use it. The space you will need depends on how much popcorn you are intending to serve. It will also depend on the size of the containers. You will need to create different layers on your popcorn bar to make it look pretty and give the appearance of being full. You can use metal washtubs, wooden baskets, and wooden crates for this.
  2. Think of a theme and get decor. If you are feeling rustic then you can go with wood, metal, and chalkboards for a cute and charming look.
  3. Find what you’ll serve the popcorn in and how you’ll serve it. You can choose to pre-pop your popcorn and leave it out with bags and a scoop. It is also recommended that you go for a small crockpot of warm movie theater butter and/or popcorn butter spritzer to help the seasoning stick. You can even cover these with your paper/decor and use different labels for remaining in the theme of choice.
  4. Decide what you’ll serve as toppings. You can use any seasoning you like but you need to make sure that the toppings are delicious and complement the flavor. You can use 8 oz jars for these. Keep in mind that some flavors might be more popular than others, for instance, everyone loves White Cheddar so make sure that you have enough stocked up. You can choose to add some candy mix-ins to the bar as well.
  5. Create labels and signs to show your guests what to do. You can create signs and labels from anything you like. You can use chalkboards as labels as they look great and come with chalk as well. You should also add a “Popcorn Bar” sign for further explaining how to use the table.

The Takeaway

Once you have set up your table, you should sit back, relax and watch the guests run over to it for trying all the delicious stuff. The best thing about a popcorn bar is that people of all ages find it amusing and they love it. People will have a blast creating their very own popcorn and this could count as your party favor.
