If you\u2019ve just moved \u2013 the fall is the perfect time to host a party. With so many cozy entertaining options \u2013 we will show you some of our favorites from around Pinterest. Take a look at this list and be inspired to make this a party your guests will never forget.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Makeshift Outdoor Seating + Ambiance<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If your outdoor area isn\u2019t completely guest-ready \u2013 have no fear\u2026a few bails of hay, blankets and a portable fire pit can transform any backyard into an autumn oasis. We love how guests can circle up past dark in this inviting seating area. You could also set-up a gourmet s\u2019mores bar for a late night treat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3728\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.beltmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/strawcircle-200x300.png\" alt=\"strawcircle\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: BuzzFeed.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set a Casual Tone<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>We love this idea &#8212; a lumber jack party where guests wear plaid will set the tone that guests shouldn\u2019t dress up. You will relax knowing that you\u2019re house doesn\u2019t have to be perfect \u2013 because that\u2019s next to impossible when you\u2019ve first moved. By dressing-down, you can make d\u00e9cor minimal and more fun \u2013 versus trying to bring out the fine china.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3725\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.beltmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/lumberjack-200x300.png\" alt=\"lumberjack\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Image Credit: blog.hwtm.com<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make D\u00e9cor Simple <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s a very simple idea that can translate inside or outside. Grab some tin cups, fabric and string to make up these cute tea light holders. You don\u2019t have to over complicate your d\u00e9cor. Be easy on yourself and buy some mini white and orange pumpkins to compliment something like this.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3735\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.beltmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/tincan-172x300.png\" alt=\"tincan\" width=\"172\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do a Food Bar<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A chili, potato or soup bar \u2013 will keep the food portion of your party easy and manageable. You can have friends bring toppings, snacks or desserts. The food bars also look cute and can be portable to host outside or inside \u2013 depending on where you want people to hang out.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-3719\" src=\"http:\/\/blog.beltmann.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/09\/chili-232x300.png\" alt=\"chili\" width=\"232\" height=\"300\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Photo Credit: CelebrationsatHomeBlog.com<\/p>\n<p>Lastly, stay low maintenance \u2013 don\u2019t worry about everything being perfect. I was recently invited to a house warming party where it was BYOC (bring-your-own-chair) and it totally worked! People are a lot more forgiving than you may think \u2013 everyone is just excited to celebrate your new home with you.<\/p>\n<p>At Beltmann we love helping you moving, plus everything after and in between.
