This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of TIKI® Brand. All opinions are 100% mine.
Do you love entertaining outdoors this time of year? We love throwing a good party in our backyard and can’t wait to share some easy outdoor party lighting ideas with you.
As the sun starts to set, don’t let that cause an end to your backyard party. By using a few easy lighting ideas, your get together can last long into the night.
Using TIKI® Brand torches can serve multiple duties when it comes to party lighting. Aside from their ambient light, they also help to decorate and delineate your party area. Your guests will know exactly where the party is as they arrive.
Using string lights can really lighten up an area. They come in all shapes and colors these days… these vintage-inspired lights are some of our favorites.
Need lots of light? We love using our TIKI Brand Island King® Large Flame Torch because it has a big flame and emits lots of light so you can really see what you are doing. It is so beautiful and sturdy, making it a permanent addition to our outdoor decor… even after the party is over!
Candles are always a beautiful touch for a backyard party. Sprinkle a few throughout your seating areas and tables to give your guests plenty of opportunity to gather and converse.
Don’t forget the kids as you plan your lighting. They will love having flashlights to play with.
My children love playing manhunt and flashlight tag. They also never miss an opportunity to make a goofy flashlight face… so fun!
Finally, don’t forget the sparklers! They are inexpensive and just scream celebration. That is what it is all about folks… celebrating with friends and family!

I used to always light up the outside when I had my pool….now it’s gone so I haven’t prettied up things out back in a while but you have inspired me to do it again. 🙂
