Start with Food

It is often said that celebrations revolve around food – especially gatherings that include family and friends. Why not create a new food tradition with your family this year? You might decide to host a cookie exchange, where each family or person bakes several dozen cookies, and then everyone gathers together to share their recipes and their treats. That way, everyone only hast to make one kind of cookie, but gets to take home many different kinds to enjoy.

Alternatively, you might add a dish to your holiday feast this year. Or perhaps, the tradition is more in the preparation of the food (or by whom), as opposed to changing a long-standing menu.

Create a New craft

Crafts are great for all ages and a great way to get to know your family better. Creating centerpieces for the table, place cards for your holiday meal, or door decorations like wreaths, welcome signs, favorite quotes or scriptures are a fun way to make your home more festive and unique.

Plan for the Future

When starting a new tradition, think about longevity. What kinds of traditions will you want to be carrying on many years from now? What traditions would you love to pass on to your children and grandchildren? Sometimes, traditions begin by accident – something new is done or added one year, and the children request it again the following year, and voila! A tradition is born. Alternatively, you can intend to create a holiday legacy that will continue long after you are gone. The choice is completely up to you.

Go Big

A rental projector is an easy and affordable way to create a fun and lasting tradition. Gather family and friends for a movie night at home, or create a DVD compilation of your favorite photos and home videos, then display it with the help of a rental projector. By renting a projector you can create a home theater – grab your favorite holiday movies and bundle up with your favorite blankets to laugh (or cry) the evening away.  Pop popcorn (and perhaps string some for the tree), warm some hot cocoa and snuggle in for a cozy evening of togetherness.

After all, isn’t togetherness what the holidays are really all about? Click here now to reserve a rental projector from Projector123.com. You’re sure to be glad you did!

Karaoke

Perhaps the greatest amount of joy for the night lies in getting your friends out of their shell to start off the New Year.  Start the new year right with karaoke and a rental projector. You can easily connect the projector to your computer to display the words for whoever is brave enough to sing and perform.  If you’re stuck on song selections, consider 80’s rock songs, current pop (get the crowd dancing to the beat they know and secretly enjoy), or 70’s love songs. Skip the old stand-bys like “Shout” and “When a Man Loves a Woman.”

New Years Resolution

How about using a rental projector for the whole family to share their New Years resolutions? You can create your own vision board, choose images that reflect the accomplishment of your goals, and bring together family and friends to share their aspirations in a fun and upbeat environment. The power of positive thinking is even further reinforced with big-screen display and a rental projector.

Host a Decades Party

As we ring in a new year, why not host a fun and entertaining decades party? This theme is the latest rage among partygoers across the US, and what better time than on New Year’s Even? You might choose just one decade as a theme (the 1960s and its Woodstock-inspired attire, for example), or you might invite people to dress according to their favorite decade. Why not also include food from that decade? Salmon mousse and ambrosia are reminiscent of the 1970s, while sushi most definitely feels very “90s.” The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.

Movie Night

Perhaps this New Year’s, you’d prefer to simply stay in with friends for a quiet and relaxing evening. You can make a movie theater of most any room with the help of a rental projector and a soft colored sheet to showcase your favorite film. Choose from new releases, family favorites, films you didn’t quite get a chance to see in the theater, or New Year’s classics like “When Harry Met Sally.”

However you choose to celebrate New Year’s this year, remember to stay safe! You can enhance your celebration with a rental projector from Projector123.com and help everyone enjoy a fun evening indoors with loved ones. Click here now to reserve your rental projector today.

Entertainment – Bigger and Better

If you do prefer to lie about and watch the game this year, why not do it in style? A rental projector allows you to view the game in true style and vivid color. Plus, when the game is over, you can extend the fun with a family movie or gaming tournament. Enjoy your pie and feel like you’re at the movie theater larger than life images.

Stave Off Holiday Pounds

Tis the season for eating, which is why it just makes sense to burn a few extra calories whenever and wherever you can.

Project a Horror Movie

Perhaps the easiest and most fun way to use a rental projector this Halloween is to project a scary movie onto a big blank wall. You can run your favorite spooky flick in the background at your Halloween party, or gather friends and family to cuddle up in the dark and prepare to be scared – in a BIG way. Some of our favorites include The Rocky Horror Picture Show (for adults only, of course), Halloween, Friday the 13^th, A Nightmare on Elm Street, or Scream. For the lighter side of Halloween entertainment, consider It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown or Scary Movie.

Showcase Scary Images

A rental projector can be used inside or out to project scary images onto a blank wall or a solid, light-colored sheet. You might even consider designing your own indoor haunted house, complete with scary projections. And since rentals typically include two to three days, you can also host a film fest to maximize your rental projector enjoyment.

Family Movie Night

A less intense way to spend Halloween is with a family movie night and a rental projector. Gather friends and family and prepare to greet trick or treaters as everyone gathers around to watch their favorite seasonal flicks in larger than life presentation format.

Host a Gaming Tournament

What to do with all that leftover candy? You could consider donating it to our overseas troops, or pool the best sweets and treats as the grand prize for a gaming tournament. Since Halloween falls on a Monday this year, a weekend projector rental leaves lots of additional recreational time, which is perfect for a video game tournament. It brings the family together and makes for a cost-effective good time that lasts all weekend long.

Host a Costume Contest

If you’re hosting a Halloween party this year, why not make the most of a costume contest? You can snap digital images and run the slide show format with your rental projector. Let party guests vote on their favorite costumes and award prizes.

However you decide to use a rental projector, you’re sure to love the fun and extra enhancements it adds to any Halloween celebration. Trust Projector123.com for all your projector rental needs. Click here now to reserve for Halloween today.

Step 4 – Add Ambiance

Time to spook-i-fy your gathering with scary sounds and images. Don’t settle for one of those hokey sound-effects CDs — instead, bring Halloween to life in vibrant color with a rental projector and your favorite scary movies. The list is virtually endless, from classics like “The Shining” and “Friday the 13th” to kid-friendly classics like “The Great Pumpkin” and “Garfield’s Halloween” to off-beat humor with a dash of the macabre, such as the cult classic “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” Whatever you choose, movie images add a certain flair to your gathering, and help fill any lulls in lively conversation.

Step 5 – Fun Activities

For some groups and gatherings, food and drink and mingling just isn’t enough. If your group is on the shy side, or you’re including a group of people who don’t know each other well, why not add an activity or two to get the party mood going? This might include a costume contest, a Halloween trivia challenge, or a simple test of skill or brain power. Offer prizes to encourage everyone to participate.

Step 6 -Parting Gifts

Everyone appreciates a party favor, as a takeaway memento of the experience. These need not be elaborate or expensive — remember, it’s the thought that counts. It might include goody bags for the kids, or goblets for the adults, or simply a spider ring or a glow-in-the-dark bracelet or two.

No matter how big or small your Halloween party may be, be sure to include an LCD rental projector from Projector123.com. Prices are affordable and you won’t be one bit scared by our easy 1-2-3 setup instructions. Click here to reserve your rental projector today.

Step 1 – Scare the Date

This year, Halloween falls on a Monday, so you’ll most likely want to schedule your Halloween bash for the previous Friday or Saturday night. Once you’ve selected the date, why not put out a “Scare the Date” invite to friends and neighbors? This is quick and easy to do with a service like evite.com.

Step 2 – Decorate to Impress

No Halloween party is complete with extensive decorations. Fortunately, All Hallow’s Eve is one of the easiest and least expensive occasions when it comes to decor. Plan on “spider webs” made from batting, a black light bulb or two, bags of plastic spiders and the like.

Step 3 – Plan the Snacks

This is where the planning really starts to get fun. Now you can certainly keep the cost of your gathering low by inviting your guests to bring a snack or a dish (or beverage, or both) to share, but the refreshments really give you some fun and interesting ways to enhance the theme of your party. Consider the following:

Lady “fingers” with red icing on the tips

“Kitty Litter” cake

Red “blood” punch (with or without “preservative”)

“eyeball stew” (meatballs in sauce)

/>Beat the Heat

Summer fun is something every family looks forward to, but if things are heating up in your part of the country, you might be more inclined to enjoy Independence Day indoors this year. Besides which, you can avoid the crowds and enjoy a more relaxed and intimate family evening with these cool tips.

Cool Summer Foods

One easy way to stay cool this summer is to plan your menu accordingly. Shop for the freshest items that are most bountiful in summertime: cool berries, luscious veggies such as tomatoes and cucumbers, and leafy salad greens. There’s no need to stay out of the kitchen, but avoid using the oven and stick to refreshing cool salads and fruit combinations or cool soups for starters and chilled dips and raw veggies for appetizers.

Rent a Projector

If you decide to rent a projector, you’ll find tons of way to enjoy the great indoors, and without event parking fees, impossible traffic or sweaty crowds of tourists. Rent an LCD projector and find loads of fun at your fingertips, from family movie nights to indoor gaming competitions and backyard film festivals. At Projector123.com, weekend rentals start at just $129 including round-trip shipping via FedEx.

Family Time

Staying in for Independence Day means more quality time with your sweetheart or with the kids. After all, isn’t that what summertime is about? It’s the perfect time to make memories with the people you love most. That’s something you just can’t get from spending all day waiting in long holiday lines at an amusement park or going to theater and splitting up to see different films.

Avoid the Crowds

You might be tempted to seek out indoor fun outside of your own house, by visiting an activity center, family fitness facility or museum or local attraction. But remember – on a hot day, especially over a holiday weekend, it seems everyone and their cousin has that same idea, so local attractions will be far more crowded than usual on July 4th weekend. Skip the crowds and look for ways to keep the family entertained at home this year. Plus, just think of all the money you’ll save – and the fuel!

Fireworks DVDs

Just because you’ve decided to stay indoors this year for Independence Day, that doesn’t mean you need to skip the fireworks. If fireworks are not permitted in your neighborhood, you can rent or buy a fireworks DVD to enjoy in spectacular color with your rental projector.

There’s still time – visit Projector123.com right now to rent a projector and make this year’s Independence Day the most memorable one ever. Click here to get started.
