Applefest: An After-Picking Party Fall's favorite fruit takes the stage for this post-apple picking affair: an orchard-themed escape for family and friends right in your own backyard! Imagine guests mingling around a rustic buffet-style spread, everyone holding classic stemless glasses in hand, the scent of apple cider wafting in the air. And what's a fall gathering without treats? Indulge in classic apple confections like apple cider donuts, abundantly arranged on our 2-tiered server. For a touch of sophistication, offer a sweet and savory baked brie with walnuts and apples atop the French Perle cake plate. Or create a mouthwatering smorgasbord of crackers, nuts, cheeses, and jams on a charming French Perle serving platter. And don’t forget to accessorize your scene with a versatile conversation starter—Luna nesting sets. They give you 8 extra ways to present side dishes, dips, and more! 

Oktoberfest: For Prosting & Partying Transport your guests to the heart of Bavaria with an Oktoberfest-inspired gathering that exudes traditional charm. Not German? Not a problem! Everyone loves good food and good times, so celebrate the season with a spread everyone can enjoy. Use festival-themed elements to create an inviting atmosphere and play with regional patterns until the table looks perfect. Then serve plates full of a crowd favorite: savory German bratwurst (or as Americans say: “sausages”). Plus, for dips like tangy mustard and horseradish, our LX Collective 3-piece serving tray gives those zesty condiments a home. No Oktoberfest is complete without warm pretzels and comforting sides like sauerkraut or pickled greens—served in generously sized all-purpose bowls as an elevated and satisfying feast for the eyes. And of course, it wouldn't be Oktoberfest without beer. Make sure to raise a “prost” to the spirit of this age-old celebration by gracing our new assorted Tuscany beer glasses with authentic German brews! Explore our wide range of glassware sets to find the perfect additions to your Oktoberfest table.

Pumpkin Patch Party: A Gourd Time for All

If you're looking for a fall party idea that celebrates the cozy charm of the season, a pumpkin patch party is the perfect theme. Whether you're hosting little ones, grown-ups, or a mix of both, this pumpkin-filled celebration is packed with creative ideas that make party planning a breeze.

Set the scene with hay bales, fall decorations, and twinkling fairy lights to recreate that pumpkin-picking vibe right in your backyard. Fill tables with pumpkin-themed party supplies, like napkins, plates, or mini decor pumpkins that double as party decorations that take-home favors.

As for the fun? Try a pumpkin party station (no carving required!) or a caramel apple decorating station that satisfies both kids and grown-ups alike. And don't forget to bring out the pumpkin-spice — from lattes to cookies to candles, the warm aroma alone is enough to make your fall celebration unforgettable. This party theme is ideal for birthdays, casual get-togethers, or anyone simply in love with all things autumn.

Fall Foliage Gathering: For the Love of Leaves

For a more relaxed and naturally beautiful fall party, plan a fall-foliage-inspired gathering. Think of this party theme as your moment to embrace fall colors, crisp air, and the charm of colorful leaves. Whether you host an outdoor movie night or set up a cozy indoor autumn tablescape, this fall party theme is ideal for slowing down and soaking in the beauty of the fall season.

Use nature as your guide when planning decorations—scatter real fall leaves across your table, display seasonal branches in vases, and accent with amber-toned glassware. Create warmth with candles or soft lighting and bring in natural textures like linen and wood for a harvest-hygge aesthetic.

Serve seasonal drinks like mulled wine, warm cider, or cinnamon-spiced punch in festive, Tuscany Classics Gold Dust Doubled Old Fashioned Glasses, and let your party guests graze on charcuterie boards filled with fall flavors like figs, pears, sharp cheddar, and honey. Invite friends with handwritten invitations or simple e-vite themed with fall foliage artwork.

This is one of those fall party ideas that's simple, stunning, and full of heart. Whether it's a laid-back afternoon or an evening under the stars, your guests will leave feeling like they just stepped into an autumn dream.
