Inside: Interested in hosting a Fall Pinterest Party for your mom friends? This is the ultimate fall get-together guide: recipes, crafts, desserts & drinks! Plus ideas for the kids as well.


Did you know that throwing a Pinterest Party is an actual thing?  

Like, not something I just made up as an excuse to be on Pinterest, but a real, actual thing people do?

If you didn’t, then I’ll be the first to say, welcome to the dark side, friend. There is absolutely no going back from this. 🙂

A Pinterest Party is essentially the ultimate girl’s get-together.

  • There are crafts
  • cocktails
  • delicious, next-level treats
  • and there are decidedly no toddlers around to spill said cocktails on said crafts and/or delicious treats (unless you want to include them – I’ve got you covered!)

So if I’ve got you hooked and you’re thinking to yourself: Yes, I want to go to there, then listen closely, because I’ve got the Ultimate Fall Pinterest Party guide for you today – AKA – everything you need to know so you can throw the most amazing pumpkin-spice-everything girl’s day, Q&A included!

Pinterest Party Q & A

Q: Marla, what exactly is a Pinterest Party (and did you make this up?)

A: I wish I invented this! I have been to a party and thrown one, so yes, they exist! A Pinterest Party is essentially a themed get-together, in this case, fall-themed, where everyone brings a dish they found on Pinterest (potluck style) and the materials to do a craft they found on Pinterest.

Q: What is the best way to organize a Fall Pinterest Party?

A: An e-vite where guests can comment or a Facebook event would be the best way to get organized. You want all attendees to be able to “sign-up” for what dish they will be contributing to the potluck, that way you won’t have duplicates. This forum is also a good way to discuss how you’ll be doing the crafts.

Q: What types of food/crafts should I pick for this party?

A: I love a good themed party, but it doesn’t have to be seasonal or themed, it can just be an everyday Pinterest Party! However, picking a seasonal or holiday theme can help narrow down your search tremendously. For this type of party, the idea is to pick something super-Pinteresty. Think: something you wouldn’t normally make or something you think might end in a Pinterest Fail. Seriously! Go all out. Pick something that has thousands of repins or something you have always wanted to try. This is the time to try something new!

How to Host the Ultimate Fall Pinterest Party

everything you need to host the ultimate fall pinterest part! from craft ideas to food ideas, everything you need to plan this party is right here!

Following the Q&A above, you’ll want to:

  • Choose your guest list
  • Send out invites or create a Facebook event
  • In the invite description, explain the theme and ask each guest to comment with what dish they will bring

Pinterest Party Craft

You can do this one of two ways:

  1. The host picks the craft and provides the materials for everyone.
  2. Everyone picks their own craft to do and brings their own materials with them.

Here are my current favorite fall craft ideas from Pinterest. These links will take you to the specific blog where you can find the instructions for the craft.

  • DIY Pumpkin Spice Latte Sugar Scrub from Because I Said So Baby
  • Woodland Creature No-Carve Pumpkins from Simple as That Blog
  • Simple Fall Pumpkin Bunting from Simple as That Blog
  • Toddler-Friendly Pumpkin Decorating from Tot Schooling

Fall Pinterest Party Food

Here are some ideas to get you started:

  1. The host makes the main dish.
  2. Depending on how many guests will be attending, it’s a good idea to have 2 different appetizers, a specialty drink or cocktail, a side dish, and 2 desserts.

Appetizer Ideas:

  • Roasted Pumpkin Seed Hummus from Half-Baked Harvest
  • Autumn Pear Salad with Candied Walnuts & Balsamic from Cooking Classy

Main Dish Ideas:

  • Curried Butternut Squash Broccoli Cheddar Soup in Bread Bowls from Half-Baked Harvest
  • Caramelized Butternut Squash + Crispy Kale Pizza from Half-Baked Harvest
  • Pasta with Butternut Sauce, Spicy Sausage & Baby Spinach from Skinnytaste

    I love this idea!!! As the queen of pinterest failure recipes LOL, this would be a daring venture! This idea is in the back of my brain, thanks so much! What a great reason to get together!!!

    • Marla says

      September 23, 2016 at 2:01 PM

      Right? If anything, it’s fun just to get together with friends! Haha I have had my fair share of Pinterest Fails as well!

    I want to have a Fall Pinterest party now! Sounds like a blast!

    • Marla says

      September 23, 2016 at 9:31 PM

      I hope you do! They are super fun!

    This looks so fun! I wish I had more mommy friends I could do this with lol.

    • Marla says

      September 23, 2016 at 9:33 PM

      I feel you! This could totally be done with just 1 other person, too!

    These are such great tips, Marla! I haven’t even thought of that before but now super excited to give it a go one day. It will sound super sad but since hubby and I have relocated we have been living far away from friends and family. So it has been tough to stay in touch and get together the way we all used to (we have the most amazing group of friends!). We hope to move back if the door opens up or move somewhere when we can feel like home, and where I can host such parties 🙂
