A pumpkin carving party has become my signature Halloween soirée. To make it simple on guests I supply the pumpkins and all of the carving tools. It seems like each year better, more cutting edge craving tools can be found at grocery stores and culinary chains thats why I asked you to help me update my collection of craving tools.
At my
pumpkin carving parties, I like to create an inviting, rustic look in warm autumn colors. I also allow guests to pick their own pumpkins. By your front door, hang a “Pick Your Pumpkin” sign on a wheel barrel, then fill the wheel barrel with pumpkins and scatter the remaining pumpkins around it.
According to the
invitation, I've asked guests to bring their own beer to my
pumpkin carving party. I'll be supplying the pumpkins and lots of delicious treats, so I don't feel bad about requesting guests to BYOB. Just be sure to clear a spot for beer on the day of the event; make room in the fridge or fill coolers and beer buckets with ice.
It’s Halloween, so there should be plenty of treats — both
savory and sweet — at your
pumpkin carving party. I recommend offering one homemade treat and lots of store-bought goodies. Make pecan bars dipped in melted chocolate, then fill bowls with your favorite Halloween minis: Air-Heads, Reese’s Pieces, Kit-Kats, and candy corn.
