Parent Trap Movie Night | Parent Trap Party


I don't mean to be dramatic but The Parent Trap was my favorite movie ever growing up. I died a little every year I came back from church camp without a newfound twin sister. I introduced the girls to The Parent Trap several years ago, the classic first of course. Then the Nancy Meyers version of the Parent Trap & they loved it just as much as me. It kinda became our summer movie. We watch it a million times, & now reserve only for summer. We kick off the end of the school year, on the last day of school by watching The Parent Trap that night.

Since this school year was a little rough {thanks 2020} I decided to spice up our movie night at little & theme together a Parent Trap Movie Night to surprise them!

First, I made "Camp Walden" shirts. I couldn't find green ringer tees for kids that would come in time so I got these men's tees. I got smalls & they ended up being perfect for oversized nightgowns to be comfy for a movie night. I am only kicking myself for not making one for myself.

I printed the Camp Walden logo onto iron-on transfer paper & ironed them onto the shirts. Easy.

Next, I headed to the store for supplies, one can not watch The Parent Trap without the infamous Oreos & Peanut Butter. So I grabbed those. I went on a bit of a wild goose chase for some Evian Bottles like in the movie. Apparently, people really like Evian because I could not find the suckers anywhere! I found some at CVS of all places. Why Evian? To glue on lizards of course. One can not forget one of the most climate Parent Trap scenes of all time.

I tried nail glue & super glue. & neither worked. I assume because the bottles were wet & sweating. So I ended up using little velcro dots I had laying around at home. Worked perfectly. I ordered the lizards HERE because I was afraid I wouldn't be able to find any locally.

Finally, I printed an Isolation Table paper & stuck it in a white frame. It looked also identical to the frame they sat at while scheming their plan at camp. & then I printed the mom & dad wedding photos & perrrrfectly ripped as much as I could to replicate the rip from the movie.

Can you even? This was so super easy to throw together & had the biggest punch of the girls. They were so so thrilled & it made the perfect kick-off to the summer.
