I have a passion for entertaining, especially around the holidays! Fall is my favorite time of the year since there’s so much excitement around the change of the seasons. With football being back and the weather being cooler, there’s also much more to enjoy, both indoors and outdoors, which makes fall entertaining much better! Check out these fall entertaining ideas if you’re looking for an excuse to throw a party this season!
1. Have a football tailgate or home watch party
Since it’s football season, there’s plenty of chances to throw a football party or tailgate party! Grab the necessities, like wine, beer, chips, and dip and you’ll be set!
2. Throw a pumpkin carving & decorating party
Carving and decorating pumpkins will never get old since you only get to do it once or twice a year! Pumpkin carving with friends is even better and makes for a great girl’s night in my opinion!
3. Have a Friendsgiving
Looking for an excuse to have a seasonal feast? Have a Friendsgiving party around Thanksgiving which your friends! Pumpkin soup, turkey, apple cider, and other seasonal favorites can be the star of the show! Don’t forget your favorite wine to pair with all of the food! Chardonnay is always a safe bet for parties! If you haven’t tried Wente Vineyards, I recommend you do so immediately (get it here w/free shipping)! It’s my new favorite!
4. Have a bonfire
There’s no better way to embrace a chilly fall night than to make a bonfire! Bonfires can provide hours of entertainment and can be as low key or as wild as you want it!
5. Throw an Oktoberfest party
Want to get crunk!? Forget going to Germany, have yourself your own Oktoberfest right at home! If you’re not a beer person, just fill your glass with your favorite wine and enjoy!
How do you like to celebrate fall? I’m always looking for more fall entertaining ideas since it’s my favorite time of the year, so if there’s something you love to do, leave your ideas below!

We will definitely be having lots of at home watch parties for football! We have a really neat set up at our house and it is the perfect spot for us to have bonfires and have our friends over for the games!
