Now that we have all gorged ourselves on Halloween candy, it’s time to think about the holiday that’s just up the road. Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays and I love to bring a little slice of it into my friend group with a Friendsgiving. It's times like these that I have never been so thankful for my amazing friends –– plus, I'm always in the mood for a party.
Planning for your Friendsgiving doesn't have to be hard. Follow these tips to ensure it's a hit.
1. Send out an evite
This is a quick and easy way to share important details and keep track of whose coming. Check out Paperless Post- they carry an amazing selection of fall invites that are easy to make and V classy.
2. Theme it
You can't go wrong with a themed party. So, spice things up with making your guests show up in their best costumes! Wear your favorite onesie, dress to impress, or make it a Charlie Brown Thanksgiving!
3. Spread the wealth
Teamwork is key. You cook the turkey and leave the rest up to your guests. Split up dishes through a google doc or survey monkey.
4. Cook together
Create a do it yourself dessert bar or plan for a customizable dish you can cook together. I love these puff pastry pumpkin bites or these DIY mini apple pies.
5. Play themed party games
Pin the feather on the turkey, Thanksgiving bingo, minute-to-win-it games. So many options so little time!
6. Create a signature cocktail
Spiked apple cider? Pumpkin Ale? Pumpkin pie shots? Don't knock it till you try it.
7. Festive decor
Hit the 99 cent store to get fall decor on a budget. Grab pumpkins, streamers, balloons, and more for under 15 bucks!
Overall, Thanksgiving is a time to give thanks for all the amazing blessings you have in your life. So why not throw a party to thank your friends for putting up with your shenanigans on the daily? Hopefully, these seven tips will help make your next Friendsgiving lit as hell.
