Host a Friendsgiving

sense, Friendsgiving is one of the most fun ways to celebrate Thanksgiving, whether you can’t get home for Thanksgiving, or you are home and haven’t seen your friends in a while. You can celebrate on Thanksgiving, but most Friendsgiving dinners are happening the day after, while everyone else is out shopping. I recently saw a themed Friendsgiving party that was inspired by the Thanksgiving episodes of Friends, which seems almost too good to pass up.

Have an Open House

people, If you want to see everyone on Thanksgiving, from friends to family and the people in between, but you just don’t have the room to seat 100 people, invite them over for an open house. They can come and go as they please, especially if they have other parties to get to, and you don’t have nearly as much pressure on yourself to feed 100 people in a formal dinner!

Celebrate Outdoors

meal, If you live in a place where the weather permits this, take advantage of it! If you can celebrate Thanksgiving with a round of golf, a pickup basketball game, or even just a meal outside surrounded by family, do so.

Host a Cocktail Party

fashion, audience, sel, If you want to see your friends over Thanksgiving but don’t necessarily want to host an entire Thanksgiving dinner, a cocktail party may be the way to go for you! It’s much more casual and easier to host, and people can come and go as they please, which is especially nice over the busy Thanksgiving weekend!
