Decorating the outdoor space for a crayfish party

Decorate your outdoor space with lanterns that look like smiling moons that glow in the darkness. Hang paper lanterns or string lights in the trees or along the patio to create a festive atmosphere. Use small buckets or baskets to hold the crayfish, and provide guests with crackers and picks to help them open the shells. To finish the look, add some greenery to the space, such as potted plants or flowers, to give the area a natural feel.

Guests at a crayfish party usually wear paper hats and bibs decorated with images of crayfish. Get together with your friends and family (especially the children) and make your own decor through a fun crafting activity. All you need is some crafting paper and string!

Crayfish party essentials for a fun summer evening

Kräftskivor, crayfish parties, are common in late August in Sweden when summer evenings are still warm. At the centre of the table are the crayfish, which are boiled in brine and crown dill and served cold, which people often eat with their fingers. Cheese pies made of cheese from Västerbotten region in Sweden and hard bread with cheese are eaten on the side. Last but not least, the crayfish is enjoyed with cold beer and schnapps, preferably spiced.
