Host a Tasty Pie Contest at Home! #amazonfinds


Looking for a fresh and fun way to entertain at home? Hosting a pie contest is a perfect way to bring your friends together for some friendly competition, great conversation, and, of course, lots of delicious pie! It’s simple to plan, easy to execute, and guarantees a fun, memorable night. Plus, there’s nothing like bonding over homemade pie.


1. Set the Stage with Inviting Invitations: Get your guests excited by sending out fun invites. Let them know the theme and encourage everyone who wants to participate to bring a homemade pie. Make it clear that it's a contest and that guests will be voting on the best pie. Go the extra mile with a beautifully designed set of printed invitations. Check out scratch and sniff pie stickers for a retro creative touch for your classic invitations. 

2. Create a Pie-Perfect Voting System: You want the contest to be fair and fun, so set up a simple voting system for your guests. A great way to do this is to provide scorecards where everyone can rate each pie on taste, appearance, and creativity. You can make the voting anonymous for added suspense. Stock up on Chalkboard signs so guests can write their pie’s name or flavor next to their entry. Pair them with scorecards to make voting a breeze.

3. Set Up a Pie Display Table That Wows: The pies will be the stars of the night, so make sure they’re displayed in style. Use cake stands or tiered serving trays to elevate your setup, and don’t forget to provide enough sampling and  serving utensils. A mix of rustic and modern elements will give your pie contest that Pinterest-perfect feel. Try using this 3-Tiered Wood and Metal Serving Stand to create a stunning display for all the pies.

4. Keep the Party Energized with Drinks and Snacks: While everyone’s busy tasting pies, you’ll want to keep the energy high with some complimentary drinks and light snacks. Think coffee with themed mugs, cider, or even fun cocktails in festive glassware that pair perfectly with dessert. This will help break up the sweetness and keep your guests happily engaged all evening. A Coffee Bar Station will keep things simple yet chic, making it easy for guests to serve themselves.

5. Don’t Forget the Prizes: What’s a contest without a prize for the winner? Pick something light-hearted and fun, like a pie-themed apron or a pretty pie dish. It’s a small detail that adds a lot of excitement to the event and gives your guests something to strive for.

With these simple steps, you can host a pie contest that’s not only delicious but full of fun and friendly competition. It’s the perfect way to bring people together, enjoy homemade treats, and create lasting memories.
