A reader reached out to me recently asking if I had any ideas for a simple fall party. To keep things simple and costs low I recommend keeping the guest list small.

Some examples from past parties: As a reminder, folded paper bags make for a great and inexpensive way to serve food, plus ...
CELEBRATE! Parties & Holidays
