If you're looking for ideas for a fall gathering you're hosting or considering, today we offer 4 more ideas for creating successful fall events.
Wine or other tastings--Tastings of wine, beer, cider, chocolate, or cheese are tremendous fun for guests. Use a pairing idea--what cheeses or cold cuts or nuts go with what wines or with what fruit, for example. Set up stations rather than having everything in one place--blind wine tastings are out and were boring anyway. At each station have a different larger type of wine or whatever. You can offer a self-guided tasting tour of the stations set up around your home, where guests stop at each station to sample. There are all kinds of fun ideas for tastings--do a web search on "ideas for wine tastings."
Fall sports-watching events--Here the key is to be unique! BHG has a great article this month on this type of event. We especially like the idea of serving sandwiches and soup (sandwiches in kraft paper, soup in cups)--more original than the same old wings, pizza, or chili.
Outdoor brunch--Brunch time is so cool for outdoor entertaining in fall--lovely weather, and the time slot is great for people with kids or others who are REALLY busy on the weekends and can only spare a couple of hours mid-day to gather with friends. And no late night cleanup!
Cocktail hour, also outdoors--People love these parties, which start at dusk, with finger foods, nice drinks, and lounging indoors and outside. Relaxed and relaxing, and sure to be enjoyed by your guests. Add ambience with little votives in holders all over, inside and outdoors, and turn all the lights on inside for light to spill outside too.
Warmly,
Kristina
