Autumn is a nostalgic time for many of us. As the leaves change colors, the cool, crisp air slowly shakes them free from their branches. The heat and bubbling intensity of the summer has now transitioned into a calm and cozy reprieve. If you’re planning events in November, capturing the magic of the fall is a fantastic way to inspire and excite your attendees.
This article will guide you into creating a mystical, magical, and magnificent autumn that your friends, family, or co-workers won’t soon forget!
Tips to Enhance Your Autumn Event
Fall events are a fantastic way to unite people in times of change. Whether it’s a Halloween Party, Thanksgiving Party, or a pumpkin carving event, autumn offers so many thematic possibilities.
Here are some important things to consider as you build your autumn event.
Location, Location, Location
It’s easy to fall in love with the ambiance of autumn. Many of us love to feel the cool air on our faces while admiring the piles of leaves all around. When considering where you want to have your event, consider outdoor options. Is there a garden or woodsy area you love? Is there an event space that offers an outdoor gazebo?
If you decide to create an outdoor event, stay connected to the weather and have a backup plan. The fall weather can be somewhat unpredictable, so whenever possible, have another option available.
Decorating and Illuminating the Space
Once you’ve decided on your location, it’s time to bring the space to life. A great way to enhance a fall event is to incorporate pieces of nature. Depending on the theme, you can decorate with wildflowers, leaves of all colors, and pumpkins. Hay bales, gourds, and dried corn are also all common autumn cymbals.
Lighting is also a beautiful way to enliven a fall event. Soft, warm string lights can be a welcomed addition to an outdoor event. Soft acoustic music or even fun, spooky Halloween tunes can amplify your theme of choice.
Awaken the Senses and Taste Buds
Many people associate autumn with the scent of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, and pumpkin. Depending on your event, you can use these nostalgic markers to your advantage! For intimate event gatherings, candles can do the trick. A bonfire is also a common smell during the cooler months.
Another important aspect of any event is the food and drink. Warm apple cider, hot chocolate, and cinnamon tea are common in autumn. For Thanksgiving parties, you can stick to the classic turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans, and stuffing dinner.
Other common autumn foods include a combination of root vegetables (carrots, squash, pumpkin, and sweet potato) and meat.
Plan a Fun Autumn Activity
When it comes to planning an event, it’s important to be creative and encourage connection. A great way to connect is through fun and engaging activities. Depending on your event, you may set up opportunities to create bouquets, go pumpkin picking, carve pumpkins, make smores, or go for a group bike ride.
While there is no “right” way to assemble an autumn event, having fun activities available can be a huge boost!
