Fall Themed Backyard Birthday Party

We hosted a birthday party for my dad this last weekend.  I wanted to decorate for the party and make it festive but try not to have it be too feminine.  I decided to go with a fall theme and it ended up being just lovely (much inspired by my fall tablescape).  With how not freezing cold it is here during Thanksgiving, I thought how fun something like this would be to do an outdoor Thanksgiving dinner!

Guests were greeted by fall as they came to our front door and magnolia wreath alongside some festive pumpkins on our porch bench.

I used the fall decoration I had inside the house and added some stands, vases, candles, succulents and doilies to fill in the tables.

For most parties I have started putting together two long tables and sitting everyone family style.  I think it makes for a more intimate setting and better conversation.

My dad is a big peanut butter fan so I made some peanut butter chocolate cupcakes that were absolutely divine!  They have a little peanut butter ball inside.  Yum!

This picture makes me laugh so hard!  Got him right when he was blowing out the candle!

A lovely evening with family celebrating my dad and the upcoming fall season.
