Hosting a Fall Cookout


     The first weekend of October Andrew and I hosted a small cookout for a few close friends. Andrew grilled hamburgers, I made some sides and did the decorating, and our friends brought something yummy to share as well. Below, I have posted some pictures to inspire you to get into the fall season! Everything was very simple and affordable - like dollar store affordable. As you prepare for your own gatherings, remember it’s all about making your company feel welcomed, taken care of, and relaxed! Enjoy!

I like to make labels for the food so that guests know what they are eating





Potted mums and pumpkins always make things feel like fall.
