Simple Fall Party Ideas & Cheap Party Tips

A reader reached out to me recently asking if I had any ideas for a simple fall party.

To keep things simple and costs low I recommend keeping the guest list small. Smaller means a more intimate, less chaotic event with the added benefit of saving money. I also recommend on focusing on one space to make a statement. A drink stations/dessert table. Some examples from past parties:

As a reminder, folded paper bags make for a great and inexpensive way to serve food, plus quick to clean up. Paper bags would be a great way to serve the dry toppings for a caramel apple bar.

Duck tape comes in tons of patterns, and is a great way to add a festive touch to any occassion. This would be a fun one for a fall party.

Plus, we have bunting in every letter of the alphabet ready to go–so you can spell whatever you need.

Tissue paper garland is also super cheap and very festive. Find the tutorial on how to make tissue paper garland here.

I love the idea of a caramel apple nacho bar for a fall party. I love anything that can be prepared in advance and is self serve. I want to enjoy my parties!
