A bonfire, with its enveloping mellow light, is best enjoyed with a few intimate friends. It usually takes place outdoors, so you do not have to worry about having a messed up house after the party is over. Managing the Fire-Pit Before preparing for the other party arrangements, you should look for an appropriate place for bonfire. The bigger the bonfire you want to make, the safer the place should be. Check with your local authorities such as fire department, about the rules and regulations of starting a bonfire at a particular spot. Choose a place that does not have overhead power lines, telephone poles, and structures, especially those made of wood. Make sure to stay clear of plants, trees, and dried grass. Dig a fire pit that is about 12-18 inches deep and line its rim with stones for added security. This ensures that the burning pieces of wood do not come in contact with anyone. Ideas for the Party You can go through a number of party themes before deciding on one. When you do, let the others know about it by sending party invitations to each of them.Your guests can also work upon the theme and also be suitably attired. Choose a theme that would suit the place of the bonfire party. It matters especially when you are having the get together on the beach or at your farm. A party theme will make the dress codes apparent and easy-to-follow. You can have a theme or a dress code that every guest has to follow. You can also opt for some stylish winter jackets and other funky outfits that give a nice casual look.

Games and Food You can serve baked potatoes which are cooked in the bonfire. What makes them delicious is the slow cooking time. Before putting them in fire, wrap them in the tin foil.
