Party Recap
Clover's 1950's Drive-in Movie Party was a huge success! Every small child had their very own drive in car complete with their own car hop tray. The older children sat behind them on movie theater style seats (pallets and mattresses with red shiny sheets). There was a personalized concession stand that stood almost 10 feet tall! We served warm peanuts, root beer floats, hot dogs, lollipops, ice cold coke bottles and much more through the concession stand windows. We watched Planet 51 which was a perfect movie because it is a movie in which the aliens are in the 1950's! There was also an original 1950's drive in menu I found online that was in an attached pocket on the car that said "please take one".

Precious idea! Can I ask a couple of questions? Are they sitting on anything inside the boxes? Also, where did you get the posters for the fronts of the cars? Thanks!

Hey Mia, I'm curious to know what is on the other side of the boxes... the little slip of paper in the plastic cover? Is that like a run down of the event? What did you use to keep the paper in?
