There are lots of seemingly childish things that we can totally still enjoy as adults (a salute to everyone who ran through the sprinkle this summer). Even though pumpkin carving may at first seem like an activity for children, adults are completely capable of having a smashing good time carving pumpkins too.
Invite your closest friends over for an adults-only pumpkin carving party. I included boozy treats, satisfying sweets, and creative cocktails for a guaranteed good time. Personally, knowing that a mess is sure to be made, I opted to use disposable decor and paper goods.
A few pumpkins pulled from my front doorstep contributed to the tabletop decor, and a mixture of small and larger pumpkins in both orange and white composed the centerpiece. Keeping a consistent color scheme of black, white, and orange created a cohesive, put-together look for the pumpkin carving party.
