1. Get the Invite Out
Send a quick group text or a casual invite. Let everyone know to bring their own pumpkin (or you can supply them for extra party points).

2. Set the Vibe
Think laid-back but festive. String some lights, throw in a few fall decorations, and get the place ready for a night of fun and drinks. Keep it simple but cool.

3. Stock Up on Carving Gear
Make sure you’ve got pumpkin carving tools, markers for sketching, and something to cover the tables (no one likes cleaning up pumpkin guts the next day).

4. Build a Cocktail Bar
Set up a self-serve bar with Liquid Alchemist Pumpkin Spice Syrup and all the fixings for killer cocktails. Have some recipe cards out, shakers ready, and let everyone mix their own drinks. Keep the shots handy for anyone feeling adventurous!

5. Get the Snacks On Deck
Keep the munchies going with easy-to-eat fall treats—think caramel popcorn, spicy roasted pumpkin seeds, or a nacho station. And don’t forget to pair them with the cocktails!

6. Hit Play on the Party Playlist
Create a playlist that brings the energy. Mix in some party hits with seasonal bangers to keep the mood upbeat and everyone vibing.

7. Time to Carve
Hand out the pumpkins, blast the music, and let everyone show off their carving skills (or lack thereof). It’s all about having fun—don’t worry if the designs are a bit wonky after a few cocktails!

8. End With a Cheers
Finish the night with a group toast to a night of laughs, drinks, and killer pumpkins. Vote for the best carving (and maybe the worst!) and make sure everyone snaps a pic with their creations.

This is your perfect recipe for a pumpkin carving party that’ll keep the fun going all night long!
