Plan the Menu
Once you’ve put together the guest list and set the date, it’s time to start planning the menu. Friendsgiving is the perfect time to get creative and try something new. Maybe the traditional thanksgiving meal of turkey, stuffing, potatoes, and pie is your idea of a perfect Friendsgiving menu, or maybe you want to choose a new theme.
Looking for a creative twist on the menu theme? Here are some ideas:
- All-American BBQ-major on the meat and minor on the satisfying sides
- South of the Border favorites
- Seafood Feast-all your favorite seafood dishes and the fixings
- Around the World in 80 Minutes-an eclectic array of global cuisine
- Breakfast for Dinner
Divvy Up the Menu
After you choose a theme, delegate to your guests to let everyone join in on the fun. Make sure everyone has time to plan ahead, even if it’s finding out about the perfect place to order takeout in Lake Havasu for their assigned dishes.
Don’t forget to take advantage of the local food and beer scene in Lake Havasu. There are plenty of local breweries to stop by and find the perfect drinks to pair with your meal, and you might even find a local restaurant that can cater some or even most of the meal.
Invent a New Tradition
The Friendsgiving meal is the main event, but don’t forget to add a new tradition to the mix. Creating memories with friends doesn’t always require a plan, but try one of these ideas to spark a new favorite:
- Plan a tournament in the garage-turned game room, where you and your friends can compete in pool or arcade games.
- Start the day with a hike or mountain bike ride
- Rent a boat to take out on the lake
- Fill a jar with notes about what you’re thankful for this year
- Take the morning after your cooking-fest off by treating yourselves to brunch at one of Lake Havasu’s awesome restaurants
