Have a Harvest Party
Having a party is a very fun way to celebrate fall. By decorating your house with fall decorations, and inviting your friends and family, you can have a wonderful night! Here are some important parts to not leave out of your party:
Decorations
What’s a fall party without decoration? Fall is known for its colors of red, orange, brown, and yellow. Put those colors everywhere you can. Have fall-themed tableclothes, put pumpkins around your house, and have some fall wreaths. If you need any more specifics, check out these “5 Ways to Make Your Home Beautful for Autumn“.
Food
Food is a great way to make your harvest party fun. In addition to regular party foods, remember
party that pumpkins are the star of the season. Having pumpkin pie or pumpkin spice treats are great for making your party more festive. Having fresh vegetables also brings out the harvest theme, so try that also.
Entertainment
For a great fall party, you’ll need entertainment. Movies are great. They don’t require you to go outside, and they last a while. If you don’t feel like movies, here are some ideas:
- Tell stories
- Play board games and video games
- Play with corn hole boards
- Watch TV favorites
- Bake cookies
As you can see, a fall party is like a regular party, but fall-themed.
Clothes
Wear some fall themed clothes around, and at your harvest party. This will make the mood feel more like fall. You might want to check out some nice, high-quality, clothes at US Polo Association, for a large variety of options in which something will definitely fit your style.
Watch Movies
With kids out and about filling the streets, you’ll find it best to stay inside and have fun. Watching
movies is a great time to relax with family in a comfortable environment. You can watch any movies you want, but if you want some great fall- and Thanksgiving-related movies, check out the sources below.
What about going out to a movie theater? That’s a wonderful thing to do! Since everyone is pre-occupied with other activities on October 31st, the theaters with nonviolent movies may be less full.
Go Outside
On October 31st, everyone is preparing for going trick-or-treating, or they are already doing so. With the brisk fall weather, you may find it great to go outside in less-populated areas. Consider going to public parks. With your family, you can go biking, play sports, or just run around. Take advantage of the fact of that people are already pre-occupied doing their own things. Find public parks that won’t have festivals are trick-or-treaters, and go there to have some fun!
Attend a Church Event
Since some conservative churches may encourage alternatives for October 31st, you may find some fun events at your local church. By going to those events, you can have fun while finding like-minded people. Here are some types of church events you should look out for:
- Potlucks
- Fall Festivals
- Thanksgiving Parties
- Other Get-Togethers
If it is a dinner party, treat it like a potluck; you may be expected to cook a meal and bring it to the church.
Go to a Fall Festival
Around October 31st, there will be some fall festivals. Find which ones are interesting, and try to go to a few. Look for child-friendly ones if you’re going with your family. You may find these events at churches, public parks, country clubs, schools, and neighborhoods. If it is paid, then you should make sure you know where to register beforehand. You’ll find fall festivals to be good, clean opportunities to make new friends and find alternatives.
