Projector: the most important player of the night, and you can get one as low as N35,000 online. I guess the price depends on where you are looking. Another good option is to ask around and borrow.

Screen: to be honest all you need is a wall, or a white bedsheet.

Sound: Invest in some good JBL or set up any other portable bluetooth speaker. Checkout latest prices for speakers

Mats, Pillows and Blankets: Get comfortable, it really gets cold in the evening. Make arrangements for blankets, pillows to stay cozy. You could shop for inflatable mattress, lawn chairs just to make it more comfortable.

Bug Spray: Don’t be caught off guard. Make available scented candles, mosquito repellent to protect yourself and guests. 

Light: It’s called movie nights for a reason, invest in some fancy glow up light for gardens, parks. You will need an extension box to power up your Projector,  charge your gadget, WIFI’s etc.

Refreshment: Cap the whole night with some snacks, beverages, juice, anything to not make you miss having dinner. 

So get planning and have one of the best night of the summer.
