Party Favors
Want to go all out this year for Thanksgiving? Why not give the guests a Turkey as their party favor? I'm not talking about a dead turkey either. I'm talking about a real live turkey. Turkey poults sell for $5.10 a piece and it is normally required that there be at lest five purchased. They can be purchased up until August. That only leaves the host with a few months to take care of them and the guests will be very surprised.
Entertainment Ideas
Take an old top hat and have everyone at the party write down what they are thankful for and then take turns reading it. This will be a fun source of entertainment. One of the most acclaimed holidays is Thanksgiving as there is usually tons to eat and the atmosphere is usually very cozy and friendly. This year get creative and make your own menus with flowers and ribbon to make them look very nice and appealing. Have the guests choose their meal from the menus and make all your guests feel welcome. Give the guests engraved albums as party favors and enjoy the night.
