That is to say, create a more festive atmosphere for you and your guests with light. The following suggestions from lighting specialists will help you decorate for your holiday parties. * Determine the maximum number of miniature lights required for your tree by multiplying the tree’s width in feet by cight times its height. If you're using larger, egg-shaped bulbs with screw-thread bases, the maximum number of bulbs is the tree’s width in feet multiplied by three times its height. The minimum number of lamps you should use should not be less than Ys the maximum number, determined above. © Use bulb colors in the same family to create a stunning effect. Blue and green are cool colors. Red, orange,. yellow and white are warm. Set the tone of your party by using either cool or warm colors. © Create special effects. For example, intersperse 15 to 20 per cent sparkling lights with regular sets to create an illusion of wind rustling through the boughs.. * Consider -transparent, instead of color-coated, light bulbs. The glistening filaments leave a net effect of more sparkle and glitter.” © If{luminate indoor plants, such as rubber trees, ficus and palms, as well as evergreens. One approach i is to simply uplight or downlight the plants from a single direction, using a reflective spot or floodlight. Indoor trees with shiny . ornaments and light sets can be novel and attractive. * Use one of four basic methods of placing bulbs on an evergreen — random placement, creating a tepee of light strung over the tree, creating a spiral of lights around the tree, or draping light strings in horizontal loops around the tree. ¢ Fasten light strings to garlands with plastic twist ties. Drape “the garland from railings, or dress mirrors with the colorful wrap. © Write a holiday message in lights. Overlap two light strings so that bulbs are spaced 2% inches apart. Spell your message by affixing the lights to poster board. Use insulated staples or twist ties to fasten. e Line candle lights in a row across a mantel, or circle them around an evergreen wreath for an attractive table decoration. with a feast ir inour. | ‘Royal Carriage dining room CHOOSE AN APPETIZER, SOUP OR SALAD, AN ENTREE, - AND A DESSERT HOT APPETIZERS ENTREES Escargots in Garlic Butter Tiger Prawns in Vermouth Oysters Rockefeller |. : Ballotini of Sole: Honey Glazed Buby Back Ribs Salmon Wellington - Cajun Style Chicken Drummettes Filet Mignon Fettuccini Al Porta .
