Creating a magical family moment “We know that all families are unique, that each member has their own tastes… and that it’s not always easy to please everyone. That’s precisely what makes every moment so precious! These moments take on inestimable value when all generations gather under a starry sky, with some sweet treats and a good movie. Don’t you agree? To add a touch of cheerfulness to these evenings, a little colorful tableware is perfect. Each color brings energy and humor, making these reunions feel like a party!” An open-air cinema: the perfect activity Outdoor cinema is THE brilliant plan that everyone will love! From the little ones to the great-grandparents, there’s room for everyone. All you need is a projector, a stretched canvas (or a good old white sheet), a few giant cushions, and boom, the magic happens! A moment of multigenerational connection It’s more than just a movie: it’s a moment where generations meet, connect, laugh, and create memories that will last a lifetime. Yes, even Grandpa will remember it (and he’ll be asking for more next summer)! Luminarc’s colorful plate collections Because every detail counts when you want to make every moment magical, focus on details that make all the difference. Colorful plates from Carinne, Diwali, Pampille, or Friend’s Time Experience! Colors for every personality Every color tells a story. Vibrant light turquoise, tender paradise blue, creative paradise green, smooth granite, and graphic black… What if your plates became a reflection of your emotions? Serve your sweet treats in a cheerful palette! Robustness and easy maintenance No worries here: the plates are dishwasher AND microwave safe. They’re tough enough to withstand all your family gatherings! Mom’s Tips for a Perfect Evening Moms (and grannies!) have more than one trick up their sleeve. Here are some well-kept secrets for a successful evening. Preparing the cinema space Find the perfect spot for the screen (yes, far from the neighbor’s lamppost), set up a bunch of cushions, poufs, a few blankets, and don’t forget stuffed animals for the little ones. Cushions, throws and garlands A few string lights, some candles (LED to avoid panic), and you’re done. A cozy atmosphere worthy of a romantic film. The multi-generational film selection Find a movie that everyone loves? Challenge accepted! Opt for classics that stand the test of time, like The NeverEnding Story (1984), Steven Spielberg’s E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, The Sound of Music, Mrs. Doubtfire, or even Bruce Almighty! We bet even teenagers will be able to get off their phones. A selection of films for young and old Suggest two or three options and vote together. The key is to ensure everyone has a say. The more people you involve, the more enthusiasm grows. Homemade treats No movie without snacking. It’s a universal, non-negotiable rule. Colorful popcorn and sweets Add some fun to your popcorn with food coloring or melted chocolate. Toasted marshmallows? Always a good idea. Refreshing and comforting drinks Hot chocolate or homemade lemonade? A banana-strawberry smoothie for the little ones, and iced tea for Grandma. There’s something for everyone! Strengthening family ties Enjoy every moment Turn off your phones, open your hearts. That’s true luxury: being together. Share memories Take photos, or better yet, invite the children to draw pictures of their evening the next day. It’s a way to prolong the magic. A movie night under the stars isn’t just a fun activity. It’s a memory capsule, a moment of pure sharing. Add Luminarc’s colorful tableware to this ambiance, and every moment becomes a visual and emotional feast. FAQs 1- Which projector is best? There’s nothing like a projector with a good dose of brightness so that even the full moon doesn’t overpower the movie! And if it’s wireless, even better: fewer cables, more freedom. 2- What to offer for snacks? Multicolored popcorn and marshmallows to roast, of course, and homemade cookies that smell of love, or even fresh fruit for the wisest (or not so wise). The idea? Let everyone find something to eat. 3- Where to find colorful tableware? Easy! You can take a look on our Luminarc website (under the “Where to buy?” section), or head to La Table d’Arc. Otherwise, head to specialty stores or your favorite brands. 4- Is the tableware made in France? Yes, of course! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Our colorful plates are lovingly designed in Arques, France, in the Hauts-de-France region, to offer you quality, durability… and a touch of French chic, even under the stars.
