Friendsgiving has its own aura of sophistication and charm. Compared to Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving affords you much more freedom on the choice of gifts and food, which means you don’t have to do turkey.
This year’s Friendsgiving eve is already beckoning; here are some Friendsgiving party ideas to take your experience to the next level.
Get Casual With the Décor
Ditch all the official party stuff for your Friendsgiving party. For example, you don’t have to whip out the good linen; instead, swap in brown craft paper. You can also decorate with punny balloons with themed messages and clever sayings that will set the mood of the party. For cutlery, if you don’t have enough, you can go for disposable spoons and forks. Finally, make a simple banner sign and hang it with tape or a single nail.
Hacking the Drinks
For starters, you can order some beer, wine, and some vodka, if you please. However, the real deal is having a pre-mixed signature cocktail that identifies with all your friends. Make a substantial amount of it to complement the beer and the wine in circulation.
Get Creative With the Guestbook
Ditch the physical guestbook and get a pumpkin guestbook. Purchase a white pumpkin and place it at the entrance. Your friends can sign the pumpkin or scribble a message for you. Also, you can write an open question on the pumpkin for example, “What are you thankful for?” and have the party guests respond to it.
Picture Play
There is no better way to welcome friends to your home than having their pictures on the wall. Of course, you will need large pictures so print them out on actual paper. A good place to source for the ideal pictures would be your Instagram feed. Pick out the best moments and hang them on the wall. You will be surprised by how much your pals will appreciate the gesture.
In a nutshell, the idea is to create a free environment where everyone can express themselves fully.
