With Thanksgiving approaching, it’s important to give thanks to and celebrate the friends in your life. Friendsgiving is usually less formal and a little more fun than a traditional Thanksgiving! Here are 5 ways to gather with friends and celebrate this year!
cocktail party
Have everyone make fall-themed cocktails (or mocktails) and let everyone try new drinks! Coordinate and have some people bring hors d’oeuvres and finger foods to snack on.
