Arrange the tiki torches aesthetically

Take an estimate of the lawn space. If it is a small-to-medium sized one, 5-6 tiki torches ensure enough lighting. Next, find out the attractive areas in your garden where you can arrange your tiki torches aesthetically. However, do not place it irrationally because uneven placing may not help the light to spread out the entire lawn area. Put it together in a way it gives the real feel and fun of luau party. You should leave spaces for other items like party banners, inflated palm trees, life sized cut outs, and luau lanterns.

Make sure that your outdoor tiki torch inserted tightly into concrete or solid ground so that it wouldn’t tumble if knocked. Place it away from outdoor sheds, tree branches, and any inflammable materials. You should always make sure that you have placed outdoor torches closer enough to get the light but in a safe way. You should also make sure that your other luau fun items are placed in a safe distance.

Super Bowl Season: A Hot Time in the Cold with Fire Pit

Want to put one through the goal posts for this year’s Super Bowl party? It’s easy: have an outdoor party! Yes - ask your friends over and light up your fire pit to stay warm.
What you’ll need:

Fire pit

Any fire pit will do - all you need are flames and warmth for this party. But you’ll do best with a portable pit to move to the ideal location in your yard - you know, like close to an electrical outlet for the TV. There are many styles available so you can get one that will fit well into your outdoor space.

Outdoor Fire Pit

Most local stores put their fire pits away for the winter, so if you’re shopping for one look online. Check out sites like BackyardBargains.com or FirePitBargains.com - they have great selections, and you’ll even find shipping deals (like free shipping for some things).

TV

You can transport a TV out to the deck just for the game. Before the big day select your party location. Find a spot close to an electrical outlet, that’s level and you can place your TV stand (that may be a bench, table, chest, etc.)… and not too close to the fire pit!

This is an important step - don’t wait till the morning of the Bowl to scope out your options because then it may be too late to solve any problems you run into.


Chairs

Go ahead, pull out the summer deck chairs. Set them around the fire pit and in front of the TV. Everyone will have 50-yard-line seating with no big columns in the way!

If you live in a cold climate and your chairs don’t have seat padding, you may want to put cushions in the seats for a little extra warmth. Heated cushions are an even better idea and available in sporting goods stores.

Drinks

Live way north? You can have the usual game brews and keep them cold in the snow banks. Whatever you serve in glasses, have a couple coffee pots for coffee, hot water, hot chocolate, hot spiced rum, etc.

Food

With your guests seated around your fire pit you’ve got some great food options. You can do the usual hot dogs, or put a grill rack over the flames and cook up burgers, wings or steaks. Or make up kabobs for guests to grill whenever they want during the game.

Here’s another idea: grab those grilling sticks from the garage and give one or two to each guest. Set out a bowl full of individual grillers: cubed seasoned steak, quartered marinated onions, buttered/seasoned bread, marshmallows (of course!), and whatever else you can skewer.

There you have it, the basics for your outdoor Super Bowl party around the fire pit. Now you’re ready to call your buddies and let ‘em know they’re watching the Big Game this year at your place!
