How to Host the Best TV Marathon Party Ever

Covid lockdowns might be over, but we still love a good movie marathon to pass the time with your friends and family.

Most entertainment junkies know this routine: gather snacks, stock up on drinks, get a pile of blankets, and settle in for what’s sure to be hours of awesome television/movie time.

However, this indoorsy time doesn’t have to be a solo affair. You can throw a great marathon watching party without having to do the most. Here are the tips to throw the most epic TV Marathon binge-watching session for you and your friends.

Make A Theme!

No party is complete without a good theme! The theme can coincide with the list of movies or TV shows that you’re going to be watching.

Not only does it get people in the mood to watch movies and shows, but it also allows incorporating other things like games, and if you’re feeling festive, raffles and prizes!

Make Sure Food is Covered

The most important part of a watch party (aside from what you’re watching of course) is the hors d’oeuvres and drinks. This can also be the most expensive part though. You’ll probably have to spend a few hundred dollars to support a few people.

However, you don’t have to shoulder the bill all by yourself. If friends are coming over, you can make the party a potluck where everyone brings something or even make it BYOF and BYOB, bring your own food and bring your own beer!

Go For The ‘Sheet Screen’

If you really want to go over the top, why just use the regular television? If you have the space, get a projector and set up a ‘silver screen’ in your house. you.

You can set up a white sheet or even use a blank wall to give the impression of a movie screen. You can set it set up indoors for a cozy feel, or outdoors for a drive-in theater-like ambiance.

Decide On What’s Showing

Of course, it cant be a tv marathon without the TV. Now you have to decide what you and your friends are going to watch. Are oldie shows on the list or is it all new stuff? Are you rewatching everything Joyce Dewitt or is Chuck Norris the one?

What you’re watching would be best to coincide with your theme, but it’s your party, so you do whatever you want. Just make sure that the viewing list has been affirmed by everyone. Otherwise, you’ll have some issues with the audience.

Host A TV Marathon

There’s nothing like binging your favorite shows and movies. A TV marathon can bring out the best and most fun memories for you and your family. But you want to make sure it’s worth remembering.

Follow these tips to make your marathon party the best it can be, and get the movies started!
