Is your kid’s birthday right around the corner, and you’re wondering if you can organize an amazing outdoor party even if it's getting chilly outside? We have great news! 

The warm, sunny days may have passed, but it's not too cold for a backyard party, and your gorgeous garden can still be the perfect place to celebrate your child. All you have to do is make sure you plan it according to the season. And we have some great ideas and a guide to hosting a memorable autumn outdoor birthday party. Continue reading and find your inspiration!

1. Set the Scene 

The best way to start preparing for a great party is to arrange the garden for hosting and entertaining both kids and adults. You can begin by choosing a theme together with your little one. There are plenty of ideas you can find online, and your kid will love to be part of making such an important decision. Once you know what kind of party you want, you can begin decorating the garden. 

When it comes to decorations, let us tell you they don’t have to be expensive to enhance the appearance of your backyard. You can even have a fun family day creating them, and this is something else kids love. A party before the party where they can participate in making the ornaments and decorating the garden!

2. Make It Safe & Comfy 

Fall backyard parties are as beautiful as the summer ones, but there are a few things to consider when preparing for the big day. Weather, for instance, can be very unstable during autumn, so make sure you are ready for a bit of rain. You can have a stash of ponchos and a few covered areas in case it starts pouring. Also, remember to tell your guests to bring their wellies and prepare some blankets for when the sun goes down, and it gets chillier. 

For even more comfort, outdoor heating is a great idea. Not only do fires provide the heat your guests need, but they are also a lovely touch for your kid’s garden party. Some people opt for a fire pit or chiminea because they look amazing at any event, and they can be used all year round. 

3. Plan the Menu

When we say backyard party, we say BBQ! And both kids and adults love barbecued goodies. Hot dogs, for instance, are perfect for kids. And, together with chicken wings, they make a perfect starter. If you want to make it fun for the little ones, invite them to cook their hot dogs. All you need is a set of premium roasting sticks that are safe to use for children. 

For the main course, opt for the American favorites, burgers. Whether you choose beef burgers or go for the healthier alternative, turkey, we promise all your guests will be satisfied, no matter the age. And, if you are a grill master, you can even impress your adult guests with a smoked delicacy like brisket. For this, you’ll need a smoker. But, if you don’t have one, don’t panic; there is no need for a huge investment. The Carpathen Z-Smoker Pellet Tube is an exquisite option for both newbies and grill masters, and it has a friendly price. Made of premium materials, it works in any grill and is very easy to install and use!

Last, but probably the most important for the little guests, is the dessert. We are talking about a birthday party so the cake should be on the list. But, while the cake will be the star dessert, surprise everyone with a second sweet treat: s’mores. Again, invite the tiny guests to toast their own marshmallows over the fire before sandwiching between chocolate digestives. Oh, they will love this!

4. Fun Ideas & Games 

Besides roasting their food, kids will need more entertainment, and to make sure they don’t get bored, you should have a few things ready for them. Since you are planning an autumn birthday party, how about pumpkin carvings? Most kids love Halloween, and this would be a great moment to prepare for the spooky celebration. 

A photo booth is also a fun way to entertain and bring together kids and adults. And you don’t even have to buy one, but improvise and make your own. All you need is some fun props and fancy dress, and, of course, a family member or a friend acting as the photographer. Not only will everybody have fun, but you will end up with some fabulous photos! 

As you can see, your kid can have an amazing outdoor birthday party even if summer is over. The only question is...are you ready to start planning it?
