What is Friendsgiving exactly?<\/h2>\n

\"Group<\/p>\n

Friendsgiving is a casual, Thanksgiving-inspired gathering among friends. It typically takes place in the weeks surrounding Thanksgiving Day and involves sharing a meal with close friends.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Unlike traditional Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving allows individuals to celebrate with their chosen family, sharing gratitude and creating cherished memories together. It often involves potluck-style meals, creative dishes, and various activities to foster a sense of camaraderie and thankfulness among friends.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Example<\/p>\n

Before we get to the tasty and clink-y part of our Friendsgiving party ideas line-up, let\u2019s talk logistics.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When to host Friendsgiving?<\/h3>\n

Choose a Friendsgiving date close to Thanksgiving, in the weeks leading up to or following the holiday. Check in with your friends to find a date that works for everyone, considering work schedules and travel plans.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Some folks opt for the weekend before Thanksgiving, so that everyone can still enjoy the holiday with their families. Ultimately, the best time is when it feels convenient and inclusive for your friend group to come together for a festive and memorable celebration.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

What time should the event be?<\/h3>\n

Typically, it’s considered best to host a Friendsgiving event in the early evening to accommodate both lunch and dinner preferences. Starting around 16:00 or 17:00 strikes a balance.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How long Friendsgiving lasts is totally up to you and your crew. Plan for a relaxed gathering with enough time to mingle, eat, drink, and play some games at leisure. Flexibility is key when figuring out what time to host your Friendsgiving party, so check in with your friend group’s preferences and schedule.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
