Planning the Perfect Autumn Fêtes
Autumn–the season of love, thanks, and enchanting gatherings. With the changing seasons comes a golden opportunity to embrace the warmth of camaraderie, the rich flavors of the harvest, and the allure of nature’s transformation with your closest amis.
We’re giving you our best tips for the ultimate Autumn soirée. Cheers!
Location, Location, Location
Set the stage for your picnic: choose a location that matches your ambiance. Whether it’s an elegant garden party in your own backyard or an enchanting night beneath the stars at your beloved rooftop bar, your chosen venue establishes the atmosphere of your event, so choose wisely!
Select a Theme
Who doesn’t love a theme party? Give your guests a reason to dress to the part.
Barbie theme? Expect to see plenty of Kens channeling their inner “My job is just…beach” vibes.
Halloween party? Break out the pumpkins. Your theme will influence your decor, food, and attire, so choose one that resonates with your guests and the ambiance you want to create.
Build an Exceptional Guest List
Let’s not get too bogged down with the details of what and where. What truly matters is the company. After all, it’s the people you surround yourself with that turn a simple get together into a joyous celebration. Each guest you invite should add to the merriment, bringing their unique personalities and perspectives to create a wonderful atmosphere. St‑Germain is all about fun and approachability, and our festivities always reflect that spirit, making it a delightful gathering where everyone can come together in celebration.
