I'm having an outdoor party and my yard has no outdoor lighting. I need some easily installed, inexpensive ways to light up my yard for the night time segment of the bash!

Tiki torches are AWESOME
Citronella candles.....they do DOUBLE duty.....give off light plus repel mosquitos and other flying insects
Wrap your trees, any poles, etc in your yard with clear, white Christmas lights.....these don't give off a ton of light, but they will give off some....plus they are beautiful

Hope this helps! Have a GREAT party!

A small window into the PsyTrance world

I don't want to damage or possibly drill into the brick of my house for a string of party lights. Does anyone know of a hook I can hang or even stakes I can use in the ground to hang these?

If you want to go with the stake method, what about using the 3 to 4 foot high metal stakes with a curved hook on the top designed for hanging flower baskets?

You can get these at Wal-Mart or other discount stores for under two dollars each. As an added bonus, you could possibly hang plants or perhaps lantern style lights on these as well as the string lights.

Another alternative is to glue hooks directly to the wall with a strong construction adhesive such as Liquid Nails that is designed to stick to masonry surfaces.

Good call on not drilling into the brick. In the long run, that would lead to water penetration and possibly cause severe damage.

Hope that helps!

My sweet sixteen is on the 25th, and we will be having it outside in the backyard. So i was going to turn the backyard light on and then our guest room, which is seperate from the house, lights on. Then to add a bit more lights i was going to put white lights around our wisteria and the tree that will be sitting behind me. So any other suggestions? My theme is Springtime in Paris by the way, if that helps out a bit. Thanks for your time. :)

tiki torches are good, but if you dont have them, you may have some christmas lights left over from christmas time...some strands hanging above the party can help ligh it, and may help with the cool paris effect as well...otherwise i would suggest doing in durring the day...lol

I'm having an outdoor party in my back yard and I'm planning to have it go late into the night. I'm kind of worried about whats going to happen around 8 or so when it starts to get pitch black. What makes the most light? I was thinking about using those little paper lanterns but are they really enough to see by? What are your suggestions.

hang a bunch of white Christmas lights up EVERYWHERE! borrow from friends and family to have a lot- string up in tree branches, along the fence, in bushes, everywhere really! then hang some of those paper lanterns in various spots also for some added detail. those will be plenty of lighting and will look really pretty at night. you can also make some paper bag lanterns yourself- get some white paper bags and punch holes in them to make some sort of design, then put some sand in the bottom for weight and a candle- scatter them all over the yard along walkways and the perimeter of the yard. bring out all your extra candles also to make candle groupings on tables and corners of the yard- put them in tall glass jars/vases/glasses to protect from the wind

I live out in the country,so lighting is limited. I really don't want my guests to be out in the dark (with just a motion light!) so I was wondering what I could do for lighting. I was wondering if solar lights could be the answer? Along with candles..but I'm not sure about those since there will be children there..and even if there weren't with 50+ people things could get crazy.So what can I do?

There are sooo many different solar lights available. You can get strings of lanterns for interest and some that you can stake into the ground to delineate paths to/from the home for food/bathroom trips. I would also have something for mosquito control like citronella lanterns.

Have a GREAT party.
