DIY Get the Scoop
Create your own concession stand by filling big glass jars and vases with assorted candy and snacks. Provide old-fashioned aluminum flour scoops ($2 and up, bakedeco.com) and paper cups so guests can make their own mixes.
Light the Way
Make a theater-style aisle leading to the seating area by running two parallel strings of rope lights through the grass. ($23 for a 24-foot rope, christmaslightsetc.com). Make sure you tape down extension cords so no one trips!

Pop To It
Decorate the table with a popcorn lamp. Place a small candle inside a glass and place the glass inside a larger glass vase. Pour popcorn into the vase to surround the glass. (If the glass is shorter than the vase, just prop it up on a layer of popcorn.)
