Hosting an outdoor Autumn Party



With autumn comes the last few days to get outside and enjoy the nice weather, in the case of an Indian Summer or a cool, crisp fall evening, with family and friends. One of the best ways to do that is by having a get together in your own back yard. Have it on a cool crisp evening in late October or early November. Here’s how.

INVITATIONS: A back yard party is meant for fun, food, and socializing. For this type of party you can invite friends via facebook. Call or e-mail friends or family who are not on facebook. Be sure to let people know when you will be having your fest.

FOOD: Every great party has to have food. Plan to have burgers on the grill and plan to have a fire where people can roast their own hot dogs and make their own smores. Make a list of items you will need from the store. Remember to get drinks, like bottled water and pop for people to drink. You will need a ring for the fire, firewood, a way to light the fire, and roasting sticks for people to roast their food on. Remember to be safe with the fire and watch kids closely.

GAMES: Plan games for everyone to play. Set up a net for racquet ball. Have a dart board for people to play. Have a corn hole game tournament. Have bubbles and games for kids to play with as well. You could set up an apple bobbing contest for the kids also.

PARTY TIME: Have your party! People will be arriving ready for fun games, great food, and plenty of socializing. The day of your party start getting everything ready early. Make sure the food and the fire are ready plenty early, so that when people arrive they can start eating and roasting their food.
