Entertaining Tips
It’s all about the lighting
As we move into the summer months, start to think about new ways to entertain outside well into the night. Heat and humidity will push people out of dinning room and onto porches, decks and patios. Adding interesting and creative outdoor lighting will enhance the ambiance and allow for the party to continue on for hours.
Paper lanterns
A variety of paper lanterns are available at both lighting, home improvement and craft stores. They are inexpensive and easy to hang. They also emit a soft and mystical light that is great of out door parties. Look for lamps that direct light downward to avoid light pollution.
Holiday Lights
Don’t be afraid to pull out the holiday lights for a summer sparkle. Simple white lights will add a bit of festiveness to your outdoor parties.
Solar Powered Outdoor Lighting
Going green is really easy when it comes to outdoor lighting. Find lights that are solar powered so they charge all day when the sun is out and are ready to light up your patio table when the sun sets.
