Answer 7

This is a good idea.  YES.  Projectors can be rented.  Usually run around $50-$75 per day.  You will also need a sound system, (Please don't use a home stereo system), a playing device like a DVD player, a small cart/table and A SCREEN.  Screens may be rented for around $80 per day.  Don't forget an extension cord (50-75 Ft), a power strip (6-Outlet) and of course . . . you'll have to wait until dusk.  If your party is in June, that won't be till around 9:45p.m.

You'll be at the mercy of the weather, Rain/Wind.

Good Luck!

P.S.  These systems can only be rented in/near Large Cities, (100,000+ pop.).  I hope you don't have far to drive.

Answer 8

you can rent them from a couple different places - try a local college or highschool with a good media program.  they may lend them to you.

Answer 9

get one at your Salvation Army Store for less!
