6 Tips for Hosting aStress-Free Friendsgiving

Hosting Friendsgiving is basically an excuse to celebrate the best holiday twice! No gifts or Elf of the Shelf stress - just great food, drinks and loved ones together reminiscing on all there is to be grateful for. Whether you’re hosting an all out shindig or something more intimate, we’ve got some of our favorite tips for hosting a stress-free Friendsgiving.

  1. Schedule Wisely:You don’t want turkey fatigue by scheduling your Friendsgiving too close to the actual holiday. You’re more likely to get your whole group to attend if you schedule your event a week before the 23rd.

  2. Potluck, Potluck:It’s so important we’ll say it twice. Pick one side dish along with the main event (the turkey) and have everyone else bring the rest!

  3. Create a Drink Station:Don’t add undue stress to your evening by having to consistently refill everyone’s drinks. Instead, create a self-serve drink station so people can help themselves without bothering the host.

  4. Have a Signature Cocktail with Espolòn Tequila:Orderan easy pre-made festive cocktail kit for the big event. TheSpiced Cranberry Margaritafeaturing Espolòn Tequila Reposado is an instant crowd pleaser with fresh-squeezed lime, lemon and cranberry juice along with a homemade spiced cranberry syrup that combines cinnamon, cardamom, and star anise.

  5. Plan an Activity:In case there are people who are new to the group, have an activity planned to break the ice before dinner. We recommendCards Against Humanity,Mingle Bingo,orThanksgiving Themed Charades.

  6. Buy Disposable Containers:Thanksgiving leftovers are the best parting gifts at the end of the night. Plus, it will spare you from having to find room in your fridge for the next few days.


Follow these tips and enjoy absolutely gourd-geous Friendsgiving!
