5 Tips for Celebrating Oktoberfest
Oktoberfest may have just started but there's still plenty of time to celebrate this 16-day festival. Here are some ideas to help you get started planning your Oktoberfest celebration:
It's all about the beer... When you think Oktoberfest, you think beer. True there's also great food, entertainment, and music, but mostly beer comes to mind. Take this opportunity to find some great Oktoberfest beers from local brewers in your area. Local package stores can help you identify some great ones for your party.
When in Rome... So you probably won't get to Munich for this year's festivities, but you can feel like you are by drinking your beer from a beer stein! Tip: Put them in the freezer before guests arrive so the beer stays cooler longer.
Get guests pumped... Send an Oktoberfest-themed online invitation to your party, like this one, to get everyone's mouth watering for a nice cold one!
Serve up the delicacies... Best not to have guests drinking on an empty stomach. Create a menu modeled after some German favorites like sausage, bratwurst, pretzels, schnitzel, and potato salad.
It's all about having fun... The spirit of Oktoberfest is all about celebrating and having a good time. The festival in Munich includes music, dancing, parades, and carnivals. Add some fun to your party with a fun playlist and some party games.
Enjoy Planning.
