Sweater weather, glorious foliage and pumpkin-spice-flavored everything...fall is almost here. That means our favorite celebratory fall holidays are too:
Before you start party planning for those holidays though, we suggest celebrating the start of fall properly. This season is a true feast for the senses and all about savoring the changing seasons, so read on for our tips on how to set the scene for an all-around cozy autumn.
A cuddly-soft throw is a great way to start easing into crisp fall days. Add a few extra throw pillows to your couch, and you’re ready for weekend streaming marathons and cozy nights in. Plaids, chunky knits and faux shearling are all worthy successors to your summer home textiles. Just like that, your home mini-makeover is well underway. Or are we forgetting something wick-ed important?
Candles! But not just any—candles that smell like freshly baked apple pie, perfectly spiced pumpkin bread and sweet cinnamon. The warm glow of a lit candle offers a welcoming ambience that's hard to replicate. Plus, the scent can help boost your sense of well-being AND get you in the mood for the next topic on our list…
Taste is possibly the most engaged sense around this time of the year. While the desserts tend to get the most attention, it’s hard to resist a hearty meal straight from the slow cooker on a chilly fall day. A few of our favorite drinks and dishes include:
When you close your eyes and think of autumn, what do you see? Colorful foliage? Pumpkins? Plaid button-downs and cozy boots? Whatever imagery comes to your mind, take it and bring it to life in your home. Plaid, fall-themed and warm-toned table and kitchen linens are a practical update to make, especially with all of the deliciousness coming your way this season. Want to add a natural touch of fall to your home? Gourds, mini pumpkins, colorful dried ears of corn, potted mums, and vases filled with dried wheat stems, pampas grass or branches are all gorgeous options to consider.
Now that you’re fully prepped for fall, it’s time to think about which holidays you plan to celebrate. If you need a Halloween, Día de los Muertos, Diwali, Thanksgiving or Hanukkah invitation, you know where to find us!

Choose Evite SignUp Sheets for the easiest, most streamlined way to get volunteers and signups for your next event!
Signup sheets are the perfect way to streamline scheduling, volunteer recruitment, class parties, snack duty, potluck organization, parent-teacher conferences and more! You can think of them as your digital assistant for coordinating events and tasks and ensuring that your event is a success.
Evite SignUp Sheets offers parents, teachers and event planners customizable online forms that organizers and volunteers can access and update effortlessly. Volunteers can choose their preferred time slots, sign up for tasks or indicate what they'll bring to the event. It only takes organizers a few minutes to create a signup sheet and send it out with a shareable link, so they can get the word out via text, email or social media—whichever way they prefer!
Long story short, SignUp Sheets save everyone involved tons of time, avoid scheduling headaches and ensure everything runs smoothly before and during the event.
Creating a signup sheet has never been easier than with Evite! Here’s how to create a sheet that’s sure to make your event an absolute success:
When it comes to signup sheet information, there are some essentials to include regardless of what you’re organizing:
When adding your slot information, clearly define what people are signing up for, especially for a what-to-bring list or role assignments. If you want someone to bring healthy snacks for kids to enjoy after a game, specify that. You want your volunteers to feel confident in what they’re bringing and to make it easy for them to know what’s expected of them. It will save them time and stress (and you, too!). That being said, if you make your ask too specific (for example, asking for a hard-to-source item or something expensive), you may not end up with a volunteer for it. So be clear about what you expect, but also be reasonable!
Aside from providing the basic signup information, you can also add optional descriptions to both your entire signup sheet and individual slots. While not required, they can help guide your volunteers further and provide more information. You can add information about allergies, preferences and general info about the event. You can also add a wish list to make it easier for your volunteers to bring exactly what you need!
Signup sheet templates offer a ton of advantages for both organizers and volunteers and with Evite SignUp Sheets, you'll enjoy even more benefits than other digital and paper signup sheets! Some benefits our signup sheet templates offer include:
With Evite SignUp Sheets, you can enjoy organizing and coordinating all your events with ease. Signup sheets streamline the signup process for everyone involved, ensuring that everything will go to plan on the day of your event while saving you precious time in the process.
