Hosting a fall block party is a great way to celebrate the new season, amazing weather and to spend time with your neighbors and friends. There are lots of games, activities and delicious food to be prepared for this. Wedding and Party Network has a few tips that will make your fall block party an absolute hit!
Fall party decorations – Just like any event, make sure to have your party decorations match the occasion. In this case, you'll focus on all fall party decorations. There are many that you can choose. Take inspiration from fall. Use fall foliage, pumpkins, orange, yellow, brown, gourds, seasonal fall flowers and wheat.
Decorate pumpkins with paint, glitter and ribbon. You can also tie ribbon around the wheat to create stocks of wheat that have a bit of elegance too. However, your fall block party will be outside. Therefore, let the fall elements be the decor.
Seasonal fall food – When hosting a fall party, your food should always reflect what is in season. What vegetables and spices are in season? Think about having a chilli cook off as part of your block party where you and your neighbors can compete against one another.
What about creating a soup bar where everyone can choose from their favorite soups like potato soup, vegetable soup, tomato bisque or tortilla soup.
You can also grill up some corn, burgers, hot dogs, and chips and dip. You can have everyone make appetizers too. Think about what vegetables are in season like cabbage, cauliflower, artichokes, arugula, fennel, kale and green beans. Having seasonal items in your dishes truly makes it even more outstanding and tasty. Talk with your local caterer to see what's in season or have them create some delicious dishes for your block party.
Fall activities – It's important to have activities for all during your block party. You can even make a carnival out of it. Set up different games like bean bags, washers, horseshoes or any carnival games you can think of. Set up booths for face painting, create crafts, host a bike parade, have silly string fights, host a scavenger hunt, have a talent show or even have a men's bake-off. There are so many activities that everyone can get involved in and have a great time doing it.
Fall is a great time to get everyone together and host a block party. It's a fun time to be had by all!
