Thanksgiving is a time for family, friends, and food! It can also be a lot of work to make sure everything goes smoothly. If you're hosting Friendsgiving this year, don't worry - we've got you covered! In this blog post, we will give you 5 tips for throwing the best Friendsgiving party for kids. Let's get started!
What is friendsgiving?
Friendsgiving is a celebration of family, friends, and food that is typically held either around Thanksgiving or around the holidays. It can be a great way for kids to connect with their loved ones over delicious food and fun activities.
If you are planning to host a Friendsgiving party for kids, here are some tips to help make it a success:
Make Food Menu Fun!
The food is often one of the most important parts of any Thanksgiving celebration - after all, it is practically a national holiday centered around eating! However, when you are hosting a party for kids, you will have to consider their preferences and dislikes.
For example, if some of your guests don't like turkey or other traditional Thanksgiving foods, you can always offer some alternative options, such as mac and cheese or pizza. And if you really want to get creative, why not try making some kid-friendly Thanksgiving dishes, like turkey cupcakes or sweet potato doughnuts?
Set Up the Party Space
In addition to the food menu, it's also important to consider how you will set up the party space. With younger kids, you will definitely want to have plenty of room for them to play and run around - so consider having the party in a park or other similar outdoor location.
If it's too cold outside, however, there are also lots of options for indoor party spaces that are perfect for kids. For example, many play gyms or cafes have dedicated party areas that are great for hosting a Friendsgiving gathering.
Make Decorations Kid-Friendly
As you are setting up the party space, it's also important to consider how you will decorate your home to make it festive. This can be especially fun when kids are involved, since they can be a great source of inspiration!
For example, you can let the kids draw their own Thanksgiving-themed decorations, such as turkey cutouts or leaf garlands. You could also have them help you set out some festive tableware and serveware that matches your party theme. Have Fun!
Use Real Plates That are Kid-Friendly
Just as you want to make sure that the decorations are kid-friendly, it's also important to think about other things that may pose a safety risk. For example, if you are serving food on real plates instead of paper or plastic ones, check to make sure they can't be easily broken by a child running around the party space.
Make a Friendsgiving Kids Music Playlist
Lastly, when you are setting up your party space, don't forget to put together a music playlist that reflects the fun and festive spirit of Friendsgiving. To get started with this step, you can consider asking some of the kids for suggestions about what kind of songs they would like to hear.
With these 5 tips for throwing the best Friendsgiving party for kids, you can be sure that your party will be a hit! So what are you waiting for? Get started planning your upcoming celebration today. That's all for now! We hope these tips help you throw the perfect Friendsgiving party for kids. Happy celebrating!
