Fall Is In The Air

Okay, so maybe Fall isn't here quite yet, and we're sure there won't be many changes in the weather when it arrives, but that doesn't mean that you have to miss out on all the great activities the time of year has to offer!

Writer, Courtney Lochner, from renters.apartments.com has a few Fall-themed party ideas that are sure to get you in the mood for some spooky fun. Keep reading to get inspired. 

1. Pumpkin Caricatures.

This one is so fun and easy. Ensure you have a small pumpkin for each of your guests. Have your guests write down their name on a piece of paper. Put the names in a basket and have guests draw a name (ensuring they haven't gotten their own). Next provide colored permanent markers and instruct your guests to draw a caricature of the name they've drawn, onto the pumpkin. When finished, have fun as you all guess who is who! At the end of the night, each guests gets to bring home his pumpkin head.

2. Pumpkin Beer Tasting.

Stock up on pumpkin flavored beers and provide tasting cards for your guests to rate the beers. You can do blind tastings or regular tastings. The point is to try many different kinds, spark conversation, and find a new favorite! Great pumpkin ales to pick up:
Good Gourd Imperial Pumpkin Ale by Cigar City Brewing
Kuhnhenn All Hallows Eve
Whole Hog Pumpkin Ale by Stevens Point Brewing
Trader Joe's Pumpkin Ale
Punkin Ale by Dogfish Head Brewing
Night Owl Pumpkin Ale by Elysian
Finally - check out what your local microbreweries offer!

3. Ghosts in the Graveyard.

Tap into your childhood by playing ghosts in the graveyard. Okay, chances are you don't have a huge yard but get your party to walk on down to the local park come nightfall. Choose a place for safety, say the swing set. Next choose a one hunter who will count to sixty while the rest of the guests hide. The hunter must go on a search for the "ghosts in the graveyard." If the hunter spots a ghost, the ghost must chase the hunter back to safety and if he/she catches him/her before making it to safety, the roles are reversed. You'll be amazed what kind of adrenaline this game can conjure! And bonus--it's a workout!
