A Guide To Hosting The Perfect Friendsgiving

For the past five Thanksgivings, I’ve hosted what is known as Friendsgiving.

And not the kind that occurs the Wednesday before or Friday after actual Thanksgiving. I’m talking lost boys and girls of the city gathering to be with friends on this special day (or at least not be alone).

The first one took place when I lived in China; there were 22 attendees and only six Americans. That was an interesting one.

Then there was one situated in a cafe in Korea.

The rest were planned and prepped with my best friend here in Los Angeles.

I don’t want to toot my own horn — *toot* *toot* — but I like to think of myself as a Friendsgiving expert at this point. But it took a lot of trial and error to get the ship running smoothly.

You may think that getting all your friends together is no big deal, but there’s actually quite a bit that can go wrong.

And while I may have learned through my errors, you, my friend, don’t have to.

Here is a not-so-obvious guide to having a stellar Friendsgiving your friends will be #grateful for.

Make sure the basics are covered.
