Decorating tips!: Throwing a 30 yr. Anniversary party, French themed, where can I get outdoor lights?
SUGGESTIONS PLEASE
I need to know a good place to go to get some Outdoor Hanging Lights with a french theme. Anything else french themed for a party that you can think of would be great.
If your answer resembles tango’s answer, don’t bother.
Most party supply or decorating stores should have what you’re looking for. Since the colors of France are the same as USA’s (Red, White and Blue–or as they say in France Bleu, Blanc, Rouge) that shouldn’t be a problem. Why don’t you have your guests come wearing berets, or buy some inexpensive berets to hand out for guests as they come through the door. Or have them dress in the vintage french style (neck scarves, striped french sailor shirts, etc.) Have a table with french themed foods, definitely assorted french cheeses, with french baguettes, cornichons (baby pickles) other french delicatessen foods. Definitely french wine, or champagne, and bottles of perrier. For the main dishes you could have ratatouille, quiche lorraine, coq au vin, or steak au poivre, with haricots verte and/or wonderful pomme frites. Or, how about Escargot? Yum! Assorted french pastries and good french coffee to end, and you’ll have a wonderful party. Oh, and don’t forget the music! Waltz musettes, Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Charles Aznavour–you won’t go wrong with them in the background. Quelle Magnifique!

Do you have a Target nearby? They sell an Eiffel Tower lamp base for I think around $20. It would make a good centerpiece for the lighting. I couldn’t find it online but it looks a little bit like this but without the clock:

I really like the lanterns that they have in target. They come with the light bulbs, the lanterns and the hanging device. I think they’re like 20 in a set and u can connect up to3 one after another. Dunno if it’s really French or not. But don’t get the red or the ones with some writings on it. Just the the plain white one. They look so classy and beautiful. And I’ve seen restaurants in France using those kind of lanterns. Hang them outside on your balcony or deck ceiling or on a big tree.

Partyoptions.net had a lot of stuff that specializes in different ethenic themes.
This might be a challenge to find the best price in your area.
