How to plan a Bonfire Night Party?
Bonfire parties are so much fun! Whether you are planning for the British celebration of Guy Fawkes night also known as bonfire or fireworks night or you are planning a summer outdoor bonfire party for friends and family, we’ve got some amazing ideas below to inspire and get you party ready!
Planning is all in the details so make sure you factor in a few different things. Seating, heat (because you’ll be outdoors and want guests to be warm), yummy food and drinks, games to entertain and family friendly fun too (If relevant).
Set the date and invite. Now start buying cutlery (disposable/biodegradable is great for parties, less clean up) plus you can get some really cute themed items. Next consider decoration – will you have lights and table decor? String lights can make a really cozy ambience as well as the fire. Consider what food you will serve – our sister site Aesther Cooking has some amazing recipe ideas!
Drinks are also top of your list of things to prep before the event – consider how you’ll keep drinks hot or cold as needed. Also stock up on fire wood to keep the bonfire going all night. If you’re going to set off some fireworks at the party, now is the time to get them in preparation. We’ve found so many cute items to add to your bonfire party this year – get inspired now!
Backyard

If you’re hosting your bonfire party at home, then your backyard will be main event area. Consider the set up and how you’ll arrange seating for your guests.
If the weather isn’t great do you have shelter from the wind, blankets for a colder night and are you opting for a fire pit in your backyard instead of a full-on bonfire? We love this cozy set up next to a green house, simple but such a vibe.
Beach

Summers are made for bonfire parties! Whether that’s in your yard or on the beach – it can be so much fun to host.
Beach bonfires or BBQs offer more space for you and your guests to toast s’mores and watch the sunset.
