How to Prepare Your Home for Hosting an Outdoor Fall Party

Here are some of our top tips for getting your home party ready!

Put Things in the Right Light

Many fall parties take place in the evening. Once nighttime hits, lighting is everything to ensure a successful outdoor party in the fall.

One way to create the perfect cozy setting outside is with landscape lighting. Downlighting and uplighting work together to accentuate your home in an eye-catching yet subtle way. In addition, the right landscape lighting can illuminate your yard without being overbearing.

On the hunt for a home lighting installer? Springfield, Ozark, Rogersville, Republic, Willard, Nixa, Fair Grove, Stafford, and Branson are all in Services By Bright’s area of service!

Good to Know: It’s not all about the aesthetics! Landscape lighting can offer extra security for your home.

If you’re looking for an even more impressive way to light up your home, JellyFish permanent lighting is the solution.

Imagine it: High-quality Christmas lights that you never have to take down or reinstall again. But it gets even better! You can change the color of each bulb to your liking – from an app on your phone.

Additionally, JellyFish lighting can serve many purposes: permanent holiday lighting, game day lighting, and security exterior lighting.

Change it up to fit every holiday, game day, and outdoor event in between, or keep the lighting neutral to function as security lighting. The options are limitless.

Take Care of Unsightly Landscaping

We know, trimming the hedges can be a pain. However, your upcoming outdoor party is the perfect reminder to check this pesky task off your list!

Get your home in its best shape and prevent tripping by removing fallen branches in your yard, too. Additionally, depending on the exact timing of your fall party, you may need to mow before the event.

If this all sounds like extra work you won’t have time to do when preparing for your outdoor fall party, why not hire a pro? Find out more about cost and availability when you request a quote today!

Clean Your House

Common indoor cleaning tasks, like mopping the floors and sanitizing the bathrooms, often take center stage when preparing for parties. However, when it comes to outdoor parties, you’ll want to shift your attention to the outside of your home.

For one, siding commonly accumulates grime that leaves your home looking worn. Moreover, sidewalks and driveways become discolored over time. Reveal a new, sparkling clean layer on the surfaces of your home with pressure washing!

Good to Know: When looking for pressure washing services, Springfield is home to many skilled professionals who can take this task off your plate.

Next, gleaming windows add a lot to the overall appearance of your home. Be sure to clean them before your fall party!

Finally, did you know you’re supposed to clean your gutters about twice a year? Getting this done ensures that leaves and other debris won’t build up and keep rainwater from draining properly. As it turns out, gutter cleaning prevents a slew of problems for your home and keeps it looking its best!

Fall Party Theme Ideas

An unforgettable party theme is essential for your outdoor fall celebration! This will take the event to the next level.

Once you have everything planned to make sure the setting (your home and yard) is just right, pick a theme that’ll have everyone buzzing.

Here are a few ideas to get you brainstorming:

• All Things Apples: Apple bobbing and a caramel apple bar will ensure a sweet time for party guests.

• Campfire Covey: Snack on s'mores while swapping songs and stories around a crackling fire.

• Pie Party: Enjoy the perks of pie society (a play on “high society”) by enjoying all the fan-favorite pie flavors: pecan, pumpkin, apple, and chocolate cream.

Popular fall party festivities include pumpkin carving, costume contests, and chili cook-offs. Or, shake it up with something less traditional! Offer a DIY pie bar, complete with mini crusts and all the toppings.

For those who like to get crafty, consider adding candle making to the activity lineup at your fall party! As a bonus, hosting your party outdoors means less mess!

Now That You Know How to Make Your Backyard Party Ready, Let the Work Begin!

It’s no surprise that pulling off a noteworthy outdoor fall party will take plenty of work! It’ll all be worth it in the end, though, when you kick back by the fire to reminisce on all the memories.
