Special Decorative Light Strings for Holidays and Party Themes

Bubble Lights existed for both kinds of light strings.  They were long, liquid filled bulbs that also had a larger reservoir of liquid at their bases, and a light within the base.  The liquid was colored, and they came in a nice range of colors.  When the light was on a few minutes the heat would vaporize some of the liquid which would make bubbles that would rise through the tubes.  The vapor would then cool and go back to the liquid state, so a constant stream of bubbles would be visible as long as the lights were turned on.  Some people bought entire strings of bubble lights.  Of course, care had to be taken that the tubes were always oriented upwards.

These bubble lights are attractive, and still can be purchased.  Just make certain you have a light set that can accommodate them if they do not come with a light string.

Today we have smaller lights, and much cooler lights.  Having cooler lights allows covering the light bulbs without the same high risk of fire that would have existed with older style lightbulbs.  

There are a number of Christmas theme light sets available, which are also great for theme party decorations.  Disney Mickey Mouse and Disney Minnie Mouse,light sets all exist, and can be used on the main Christmas tree, on a specialty Christmas tree, or for a special party.  Other light sets include Star Wars themes of R2D2, C3PO, Yoda, and Storm Troopers.  There are Doctor Who Tardis shaped lights, and the Beatles Yellow Submarine light strings.   Some of these are less useful on a Christmas tree, such as Storm Trooper light sets, but work for parties.  So, not ever decorative light set should be used at Christmas, use your judgement.

There are light sets that clearly are Halloween decorations.  Christmas trees with Star Wars androids is about as far as one can stretch things.  Scary lights are by their design relegated to Halloween.  Yet, if you are having a Halloween party they make great decorations.  String them from a ceiling or lay them across a mantle and get your guests marveling at how creative you are.  Make that party special.

For a children’s Halloween party consider the Mickey Mouse Halloween light set.

So, you have a luau planned.  And, you are thinking only hanging lanterns are available.  Well, other exciting option do now exist.

There are many more decorative light sets available.  But, some have disappeared.  I no longer can find a couple of Disney light sets that were there a year ago.  Perhaps it is because of slow sales, or perhaps it was that they were not licensed.  In any event, more have come out, and a few have gone away.
