What is the best way to have a family movie night?
The best way to have a family-friendly movie night is to make it special! We like to print movie tickets, choose a movie and movie-themed recipes together, and schedule it for a certain day of the week. Sometimes we even like to do a theme and dress up!
The only wrong way to have family movie night is not to have it at all!
