To celebrate the turning of the seasons, many enjoy hosting a fall harvest dinner party with loved ones. A harvest dinner combines all the best late-summer fruits and vegetables with cozy, hearty dishes to make you feel at home.
If you’re interested in hosting your own fall dinner party with a harvest theme, here are some basic tips to help you get inspired:
Harvest dinner dishes
A harvest dinner party is the perfect time to enjoy flavorful seasonal recipes with beautiful seasonal produce. Butternut squash, brussels sprouts and sweet potatoes are all examples of the plentiful and delicious foods you can bring to the table.
Harvest dinner desserts
For dessert options, think of cozy, hearty treats that celebrate the finest selections from the local farmer’s market. Apple pie and pumpkin pie are beloved standbys, and plain brown sugar cookies provide excellent opportunities for creative decoration. Include some sweet and spicy hot apple cider for after-dinner warmth around the fire pit.
Harvest dinner decor
When decorating for a harvest dinner, focus on the hues and symbols of the season. Take inspiration from rich autumn leaves and ripe produce. Create a bountiful centerpiece featuring apples, pumpkins and other colorful gourds. For an outdoor party, light up the table with rustic mason jar lanterns.
Fun harvest dinner theme ideas
If you want to take your harvest dinner party a step further, you can incorporate a fun seasonal theme or activity. Here are some examples to consider:
- Pumpkin carving
- Apple-picking & apple-based desserts
