Oktoberfest Party Ideas 2019

What Oktoberfest is All About?

Oktoberfest is originally a 16-day festival that is held in Munich, Germany from late September to early October, every year. This is the time when people eat a variety of foods, drink beer, play music, dance, and have lots of fun.

Oktoberfest Decoration Ideas

If you want to organize an Oktoberfest party, make sure that you get decoration materials that match the celebration. The first step is to send out the invitations for the party. You can easily find templates for it available online that you can print out and send out to your friends. A really fun idea is to print out invitations in the shape of beer mug. After all, what describes the time to indulge in beer better than this? You can also look for readymade Oktoberfest-themed invitations that are cheap and also saves time and efforts.

Blue and white represent the colors of Bavaria, the largest state in Germany and the theme of Oktoberfest. So your banners, festoons and balloons must be in that color. You can get Oktoberfest decorations like blue and white pennant banners, regular ‘Welcome to Oktoberfest’ banners, hanging decorations, cut-outs and party tapes. The Oktoberfest hanging decorations look snazzy with cardboard beer mugs at the tip.

Use blue and white balloons along with Oktoberfest ‘Spatzl’ heart foil balloons for decorating the interior space as well as the yard. You can find German pop music online. Get ready to greet your guests with a cheery ‘Wilkommen’!

Oktoberfest Table Decorations

The party table is an important part of the celebration – after all, isn’t that where you find food and refreshments! You might want to get Oktoberfest table runners with the blue and white checker pattern. Alternatively, you can get plastic table cover of the same pattern.

To add to the charm, you might want to get the Oktoberfest centrepieces for the table. To make it easy for the guests to find where to get different foods, you can get cut-outs like ‘Free Beer’ and ‘Pretzel stand’ as well as ‘Oktoberfest’ for the outside.

Oktoberfest Party Supplies for Everything

Oktoberfest is a time to indulge in different kinds of food and drinks. Some of the popular foods eaten during this party are different types of sausages, pretzels, potato dumplings, potato salad, cheese noodles, pork roast, apple butter, and sauerkraut. To make the cooking fun and easier, it is best to team up together with friends. With each person dealing with a particular food, the job gets easier. You can also order those that take time to make and are easily available outside.

When it is time to tuck in, you can provide Oktoberfest lunch and beverage napkins for the guests. You can also set up a drinking booth in the yard so that it doesn’t matter even if it gets a little messy. Make sure to keep assorted coasters stacked up on the table for everyone. Oktoberfest cut-outs resembling beer mugs are the ultimate table piece where refreshments are served.

Fun Photo Sessions

Any party is an occasion for taking photos together with friends, family and neighbors. The Oktoberfest party is no exception. You might want to get photo props measuring 94 x 64 cm where you can place your face in the hole for funny photos. There are other options too – costumes!

The party becomes doubly fun with costume accessories like peasant hat, cardboard hat and fedora hat to don for photos. It is a good idea to get beer garden babe satin sashes too. Oktoberfest costume accessories like Frauelin vest for women and men are perfect to tie up over your clothes.

Games and Give-Aways

A campfire karaoke and games session in the backyard would be the perfect way to chill out together. A beer stein race is an exciting game to play – people will race from one pint to another, while holding their filled beer steins in their hands. The one who can fill a bucket within the given time is the winner. For the kids, you can set up a pretzel-making session indoors while the adults play outside!

To make the party memorable even days after it happened, you must give away gifts that’ll remind your friends of the good time! If a photo session is included in your party, it would be a good idea to give printed photos of the party time. You can consider getting personalized T-shirts or mugs printed before the party. Light-up beer mugs or beer bottles with personalized labels are also cool options!
