Start With Snacks

First of all, you'll need to provide snacks and drinks for everyone. Our well-appointed kitchens make it easy to set up the perfect meat and cheese board or serve delicious drinks. There's tons of cabinet and counter space to lay it all out, and some homes also have breakfast bars for serving guests. Your choice of espresso or oak cabinetry, plus granite countertops and stainless steel appliances means your guests will be stunned by the beauty of your kitchen.

Spread Out in the Living Room

When everyone is fully energized, head over to the spacious living room and let the fun begin! Whether you're playing with a board game, card game, or just old-fashioned charades, you'll all have plenty of room to keep your moves private and give teams the space to converse without being overheard. Consider setting up the floor with blankets and pillows for added comfort. You may even wish to set up some snacks in the living room for quick bites between rounds.

Quickly Connect to the Internet

At Presidential Towers, each home comes equipped with ultra-fast fiber internet. So, if your chosen game happens to be on the Xbox or other console that requires internet connectivity, you'll be able to quickly get online and get each player set up. You also won't experience lag or buffering during the game which can make or break a game during those buzzer-beater moves.

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.
