Our Friendsgiving Party

Recently, we hosted a Friendsgiving party, inviting a lot of family friends to spend time and have fun with us. I really enjoyed this party as well as how we planned for it.

It was a full spread, inspired by the traditional Thanksgiving foods. However, we decided to add an Indian twist to them. For example, we had pumpkin sambar, pumpkin idlis, white pumpkin raita, butternut squash parata, and white pumpkin pachadi to name a few. I also loved the apple cider we had, as it was mixed with ginger ale, giving it a fizzy and overall delightful taste.

The food wasn’t the only attraction. We decorated the house with oranges and golds to highlight the idea of fall and Thanksgiving. Some of these decorations included an orange garland of fall leaves as well as a gold FRIENDSGIVING sign and many, many bouquets of flowers.

Have you ever hosted a Friendsgiving party? How was it?

Friendsgiving Party 2017

In 2017, I hosted a Friendsgiving party. All of my besties came . We played games, ate delicious food, and had tons of fun.

I treasure all of my friends greatly and I wanted to have a party / play date with all of them. Thanksgiving was coming up soon and I wanted to do something fun with all of my friends. Then I had a great idea. Why not smash the two together and have a Friendsgiving party? I explained the idea to my mom and she agreed. I was going to host a Friendsgiving party!

My mom and I brought decorations way ahead of time. We bought some orange and silver tassel curtains, photo booth supplies, and a cute sign that read “Welcome Friends”. We decided on colors for the party would be blue and orange. I got a very fall-ish attire. A blue dress with fall leggings and a fall scarf.

We decided to do a mix of Indian and American foods. We had apple cinnamon pie poundcake bites,And muffins, mini colored idlies (an Indian food), and turkey cranberry pecan sandwiches. We had apple juice cider and apple pie punch to drink. All of the food was good and my friends and I couldn’t stop eating. Finally, we all went upstairs to play games. After about an hour, everyone’s parents came to pick them up. I’ve always remembered that day as the best day of my life.
