Everyone loves autumn. It's the beginning of cozy season with so many promises ahead. We get to see family and friends and make memories all over again. Fall is the perfect time to host a get together with your neighbors and friends! Whether you host a block party or a kids birthday I wanted to share my favorite fall party recipes, decorations, and games with you!
The best FALL PARTY'S have three core elements- Food, Friends, and Festivities.
Food is ten times better in the fall- warmer.. more indulgent.. There are so many exciting recipes to partake in. Drinks, appetizers, and desserts especially.
As for friends…
Invite your friends in a fun exciting way. Make a facebook page and have everyone pick a recipe from the Pinterest board to make and bring. Share invitations that let you vote on the best fall movie you’ll watch. You can place wagers on who will win the baking contest or most games. There are so many ways to make inviting people more involved and exciting! Most importantly, gather the people you love and extend the invite to more people outside of your circle too.

Festivities are my favorite part!
There are so many extra things to do in the fall that you can plan as an activity at your party:
A list of my favorite party festivities are:
Apple bobbing
Pumpkin painting/or carving party
Costume party
Make your own popcorn bar with chocolate/caramel drizzles, nuts, candy corn, marshmallows , or anything!
Movie fest
Have everyone bring a beautiful leaf and make a collage
Host a fire and roast some s’mores
Make your own fall wreaths
Take a fun fall photo shoot in your backyard
Do a group painting
Order local wines and beers and do an at home tasting
Pie baking contest
Hope this inspires you to get together and make time for the people you care about! I can't wait to invite our neighbors and friends we've met at Banning Lewis in our Oakwood Home. I would love to see your photos too. Tag me on instagram @sophmb_ to share your fall recipes and get togethers. Have fun living life in the light! Until next time
