MAKE IT CUTE

Looking for a cute way to start the fall festivities? Throw a potluck with your friends! These parties are an easy way to try out your friends *fave* dishes. You can also have a competition on who has the tastiest recipe. Potlucks are warm and intimate ways to hang out with your besties and create long-lasting memories. It's the luck of the pot! 

Guide to the best dishes

Do you have a dish that you've mastered making? Bring it to the potluck! If you enjoy baking, make some of your favorite cupcakes or brownies. Still not sure what to bring? Don't panic, here's a list of potential goodies:

- Pasta
- Deviled eggs
- Cheese dip
- Meatballs 
- Fruit/veggie tray
- Cheesecake
- Cookies

Set the mood 

One of the easiest ways to set the mood at the dinner table is to create a poppin' playlist. The last thing you want is for your guests to eat in silence (um, talk about awkward)! If you're trying to achieve a more laid-back vibe, go for R&B. Otherwise, get the party started with pop music. Dua Lipa's funky hits or T. Swift's newest album are sure to make your guests want to get up and dance—after dessert of course.

Get the games started

After dinner, keep the fun going with some friendly competition. Playing games with your besties is a great way to unlock your adventurous sides and get to know each other better. Pro tip: Ask your friends to each bring a game of their choice. That way you won't have to worry about running out of options!
