Decorating doorways and window frames with sweet-smelling greenery
encourages guests to venture into different rooms, improving a
party's flow. White-pine garlands, which have long, soft
needles and full boughs, can be conveniently shipped to you ($50
for 25 yards, Yankee Petaler, 518-822-1320). Hanging fresh
evergreens is easy: Hammer in two small nails at the top corners
of a doorway or window and drape the swags over them.
