Special Events in October

For any type of special event, you can play off the season and the time of year when you’re decorating, organizing, and planning details. You can use the season for inspiration with your food menu, your signature cocktails, your decorations, and your activities, depending on the type of special event you’re hosting. Read through this blog for special event ideas for the month of October.

Autumn Foods
Create a menu of fall comfort foods. Appetizers can include fruits, cheeses, and baked goods. For the menu, think of veggie dishes like roasted or baked squash, pasta dishes, and anything with a sweet glaze. Offer a salad of romaine, spinach, strawberries, nuts, cucumbers, and anything you wish.

Cocktails
Serve a seasonal cocktail at your special event in October, and have everyone sipping in style. Consider Apple Cider Mimosas. With a bottle of champagne, 1 cup of apple cider, 1 tbsp of sugar, and 1 tbsp of ground cinnamon for the rims of the flute glasses, you can curate the perfect cocktail. Mix the cinnamon and sugar, wet the glasses, and dip the rims. Fill the flutes halfway with apple cider, and halfway with champagne.

Plan Outdoors
If you have a big enough area to work with, plan for people to relax outdoors. Overhead tents, Adirondacks & hay bales, chimineas, and fire heaters are awesome outdoor amenities for a party. You can transform any area into an awesome seasonal get-together. With lighting in the forms of string lights, torches, and light sticks, you can light up the cool, autumn night, and create a beautiful aesthetic.

Halloween Parties and Costume Parties
This season is always popular with Halloween parties because of the holiday. Halloween is the one time of year when you can throw an awesome party, and you KNOW your friends will participate because, well, it’s Halloween! Throwing a costume party can be a creative and fun way to celebrate the fall season with your friends.

Games and Activities
At your fall gathering, plan to have games and activities for all ages. Include a fun photo booth for people to take pictures. You can create a photobooth by researching some DIY projects. Hang a backdrop, cut a frame out of cardboard, and get creative! Consider activities like sack races and carving pumpkins.
