15 DAYS OF FALL {DAY 5}: Add string lights to your deck

There’s something about string lights that just feels special. Maybe it’s the way they twinkle and sparkle, or the way they create an intimate and inviting atmosphere.

Whatever the reason, adding string lights to your deck is a great way to make entertaining guests fun and enjoyable. Not only will your guests feel more at ease in an intimate setting, but you’ll also have the opportunity to show off your hostess skills in a beautiful light.

So next time you’re planning a party or get-together, don’t forget to add string lights to your decorating list!

Right now, Costco has 48′ of lights for around $35- they are outdoor rated, LED, and plastic bulbs so they won’t shatter. I bought two boxes and strung them from trees to deck and back!

They are also available on Amazon (affiliate link).

Here’s one strand- don’t mind my dead grass and no mans land on this side of the yard. Once the new fence is in, I can landscape & plant! https://amzn.to/3rjQ8Ev
