Fall Themes

Cooler weather isn’t the only part of Autumn to look forward to. The Fall Season also brings many special days and events that make terrific themes for your parties and events!

 Back to School- Get the kids excited about the new school year with a party that celebrates everything academic. Be sure to plan plenty of hands on activities such as sand art or spin art to keep all your guests occupied. Finger foods such as chicken nuggets, fruit and veggie trays always get an “A” grade from the elementary crowd.

Football- Score a touch-down with a tailgate  inspired by America’s favorite fall sport. Chicken Wings, Hot Dogs, & Hamburgers along with plenty of sides and cool beverages should keep your team ready for play. Games such as horse shoes or bean bag toss can be set up for team or one on one play.  

Harvest- Whether it’s Apples or Pumpkins, a celebration about the earths bounty is always in season. Get creative and use fresh harvest items as part of your decor, feature them on your menu, and incorporate them into your games!   You can even set up a photo op area with pumpkins, corn stalks, bales of hay, or baskets of apples.

 Oktoberfest- Brush off your lederhosen and polish up your beer stein. make sure to have plenty of brats on hand and the infectious sounds of a polka band.

Halloween- Children of all ages love dressing in funny or scary costumes to enjoy the tricks or treats of  this ancient holiday. Remember your guests that may have special dietary needs when planning your menu. Try and have Sugar-free and Dairy-free options.

Election Time-Republican, Democrat, or Independent; a good time gets everyone’s vote!  Red, White, & Blue is a natural for a color scheme and the “All-America Hot Dog could be the front runner for a tasty economical menu item.

Veterans Day- Patriotism and service to our country should be celebrated every chance we get. What a wonderful opportunity to incorporate giving back into your event. Have guests bring donations or recyclable items to collect at the event.

Thanksgiving- Good food, friends and fun is something to be thankful for. Businesses might take this opportunity to show appreciation to their staff or clients. If your budget is tight consider a potluck; as the host you could supply the main entree and ask guests to bring side items and desserts. This gives everyone a chance to show off a family recipe and make your Thanksgiving just like the first one!
