Fall is my favorite time of the year! The cool, crisp air, the beautiful fall colors, and of course a delicious pumpkin spice latte. Whats not to love! It's also the perfect time to host a get-together or party with family and friends. In this post I am sharing some of my favorite fall party decor ideas to help inspire your event.

One thing I love about fall decor is the cozy feeling. Warm light, pumpkins, jewel toned colors, and more really make the perfect backdrop for a party.
The entry to the party, the party table, lighting, and more, I am including several ideas for you to run with and make your gathering one people won't forget.
Fall party decoration ideas
There are so many ways to add festive fall flair to your party. A few favorites include:
- Cozy pillows used at your seating areas like couches, table chairs, and even on hay bales.
- Hand painted rustic signs with fall themes or on a buffet table.
- Fall scented candles burning in the party area for a beautiful glow and smell.
- Cute banners and bunting in fall colors or with fall sayings.
- Chalkboard signs used for an apple cider bar or on a buffet table.
Fall entry

Set the tone of your fall party with a beautiful entry. I love adding a fall wreath to my front door. You could elevate the look even more with a garland hanging around the door.
Supplies:

Wheat bundles add another layer of texture to the entryway. I like putting mine in a large, rustic vase or pot. You could also use corn stalks for a harvest feel.

It's not a fall party without beautiful pumpkins and gourds. They can be used in so many different ways. One of my favorite things to do is use them as a table centerpiece. They add color and the perfect fall touch. Try using different sizes and colors for a festive look.
