Having a drink cooler is essential to give your guests easy access, so why not put them in an awesome pumpkin cooler? It's an incredibly easy DIY project to make and once the party is over, you can still reuse the pumpkin as a jack-o'-lantern to perfectly fit in with your other Halloween decorations.
If you want to try this out, make sure you pick a glass bowl before you head out pumpkin shopping. That way, you can measure the width of the bowl to make sure you purchase the right size gourd. Next, use your carving tools to clean out all of the pumpkin guts and seeds from the inside. Then slide your bowl into the pumpkin and fill it up with your favorite beer bottles on ice. I predict your partygoers will wonder why they didn't think of it first.
