It’s that time of year when your blood type may as well be pumpkin spice, so why not use that to fuel the perfect fall party? From delicious treats to festive decorations, follow these simple steps for hosting your next fall gathering!
1. Make your own cocktail concoctions
Cocktails, like this beautiful mulled wine, will be sure to keep your guests nice and toasty. To inspire your drink menu, give creative twists to staple drinks like a mimosa by substituting splashes of seasonal cranberry or plum.
2. Perfect your menu with delicious, easy to eat bites
With a new season comes new seasonings! Highlight some of the best flavors of the season with recipes like these adorable easy to eat apple pie bites.

3. Cozy up your place with extra seating
Make sure your guests have room to take a load off by supplying simple chairs and decorating with some festive blankets and throw pillows. If you have an outdoor space, get creative and bring the pumpkin patch to your home with adorned hay bales. You can buy these at a reasonable price at your local garden or hardware store!
4. Decide on a theme and commit with your decorations
Whether you’re going for a theme of spooky fun or classy autumn chic, commit to your decor and embrace it within the details. Centerpieces are a great way to use your theme to tie your spread together. For example, embrace a more ghostly feel with a skull vase centerpiece or a pumpkin floral arrangement to celebrate the season.
5. Set the tone
Now you have your drinks, your food, your seating and your decor. What else could a party need? The perfect ambiance. String some lights, set the table, light some candles and get a good playlist going to complete your festive fall gathering!
