Mini lights are an easy way to add ambiance to your home and can be used almost anywhere. Try them under a sheer cloth at the bar, around doorways, even hang strands of lights behind sheer drapes to create a light wall. If you’re using candles, remember to place them where drinks wouldn’t ordinarily be placed and keep them away from any fresh greenery you’re using. No one wants a party that hot!
One other idea is to hollow out an apple, pineapple, artichoke or anything you have and use it as a candle holder!
