Planning a Kids Only Thanksgiving Party

Have you decided that you would like to host a Thanksgiving party this year? If so, what type of Thanksgiving party do you plan on having? If you are a parent, there is a good chance that your Thanksgiving party may be designed for children and children alone. These types of Thanksgiving parties are often referred to as kids only Thanksgiving parties.

Although you might assume that it is relatively easy to host a kids only Thanksgiving party, you may soon realize that it isnt as easy as you may think. The reason for that, most of the time, is that kids are often more difficult to please, when compared to adults. For that reason, there is a fairly large amount of planning and preparation that may need to go into your next Thanksgiving party.

Perhaps, the first thing that you should do, when planning a kids only Thanksgiving party, is invite the guests. Depending on the age of your own child or children, this may be a little bit difficult. Some young children and teenagers may be able to invite their own party guests, but others may be unable to. Whether your child is a toddler or a little bit older, if may be a good idea if you create a Thanksgiving party guest list all on your own. When doing so, it is advised that you invite children that are around the same age as your own. It may be a good idea to invite other children that are in your childs class, attend the same daycare, live in the same neighborhood, or are related to your child.

Once you have taken care of the party invites, you may want to change your focus a little bit. You will want to start focusing on the actual party. One of the many things that you may want to plan out is the food, snacks, and drinks that you will have available. In most cases, you will find that you do not need to go all out and cook a Thanksgiving dinner for a kids only party; snacks would be more than enough. However, as a parent, you likely already know that kids can be picky when it comes to their food. That is why you are advised to have a wide array of snacks and drinks on hand. You will not only want to make sure that, at least, some of your foods are healthy, but also that they are kid friendly.

Whether it is a Thanksgiving party, a Christmas party, or a birthday party, kids parties are nothing without games. That is why you will want to pick out party games for everyone to play. Since you will be hosting a Thanksgiving party for kids, you may want to choose holiday games to play; however, it is not necessary. You can easily find a number of holiday party game ideas online, with a standard internet search. In addition to the internet, you should also be able to purchase a number of fun, kid friendly party games online or from your local department store. While it is fun to have your party games all planned out and ready to go, be sure to leave room for suggestions. Depending on the age of your party guests, there is a good chance that they may want to play other games or offer their own suggestions.

When planning a kids only Thanksgiving party, it is important to remember one thing; kids may not be your only guests. As a parent, you likely know how some parents, maybe even you, just dont want to part with their children, even for a few hours. That is why there is a good chance that some of your party guests parents may wish to stay. If this is the case, you should let them. In addition to receiving assistance with your kids only Thanksgiving party, there is a good chance that you may enjoy the extra company. If other parents will be staying with their kids, it is advised that you also have a few adult snacks on hand.

Why You Should Plan an Adult Only Thanksgiving Party

Have you recently decided that you would like to host a Thanksgiving party? If so, have you decided which type of party you would like to host? Unfortunately, a large number of Thanksgiving party hosts dont really realize that they have a choice. The reality is that you do. If you want, you could have a casual Thanksgiving party, a formal Thanksgiving party, a Thanksgiving party with adults and kids, or a Thanksgiving party with just adults; the decision is yours to make. However, you may find that an adult only party is the way to go.

Perhaps, the first question that you should ask yourself is can you host an adult only party? An adult only party is a party where only adults are present, no kids. While you may prefer to have an adult only party, it may be a little bit difficult for you to do, especially if you have kids. If you can find someone to watch your children for the day or the evening, you may be able to have an adult only Thanksgiving party, but it is also important to remember your guest, they too might have kids.

Although you may find it difficult to host an adult party, you may want to give it some serious thought. This is because there are an unlimited number of benefits to hosting an adult party. One of those benefits is that adult drinks can be served. Of course, you can always serve alcoholic beverages at a Thanksgiving party when kids are present, but there are some who do not like to drink in front of children, especially their own children. There is a good chance that your party will be nice and fun without alcohol, but many adults enjoy drinking when at a social event.

An adult only Thanksgiving party may make it easier to choose entertainment for the party. While you and other adults may enjoy dancing, young children may not always. You can also play games centered on alcohol or even enjoy adult aged games, such as adult themed board games. These types of games may not be ideal for children, particular because of the alcohol or the adult questions or answers that are needed to play certain party board games.

Perhaps, the biggest benefit to having an adult only Thanksgiving party is the fact that there will be no kids present. While all parents love their kids, often more than their own life, there are times when a parent just needs a break. Whether you are a parent or some of your guests are, it is likely that they will enjoy the times to themselves. It may seem silly, but an adult setting and adult conversations are things that many parents often long for.

As previously mentioned, it may be a little bit difficult to plan a Thanksgiving party for adults only. If you are not sure about what you should do, it may be a good idea to discuss it with some of your other party guests, especially those that have children. There is a good chance that most of your party guests would still come to your party if their children couldnt, but you may also find that some will not. It may be a good idea to determine, ahead of time, what the majority of your guests would or wouldnt do. This may help you to decide whether or not an adult only Thanksgiving party is worth it or even possible.
