Fun Family Thanksgiving Ideas

happy family of four posing outdoors with squashThanksgiving should always be a fun time of celebration, eating, and thankfulness with your family. Here are some ways to help make Thanksgiving even more fun and memorable for you and your family this year.

Thankful cards- Everyone should make a card for each family member (or friend) that will be your guest for Thanksgiving this year. (Don’t forget to include your loved ones that live with you!)

Be sure to tell that person what you love the most about them and why you are thankful for them on each card. These will be memorable years later when all of the food is long forgotten.

Recipe books- A few months before Thanksgiving, make a list of each family member and friend that shares in your celebration. Beside their name, make a note of their best dish. Call or write to each person and ask them for a copy of that recipe, along with one or two more of their personal favorites that they’d like to share.

When you have collected all of the recipes, compile them into a booklet and print them out. You can use your personal computer and printer, or seek professional services for a longer-lasting recipe book. After all of your guests arrive for Thanksgiving dinner, give everyone a copy of your very special recipe book.

Family scrapbooks- Gather as many family pictures as you can. If you don’t have many, you can get extra prints made at any local copier. Purchase mini scrapbooks at any scrapbook supply store, along with stickers, markers and various scrapbook supplies. Create miniature family scrapbooks, using one photograph per page.

Be sure to write what you are thankful for, in relation to each family member, on their designated page. On Thanksgiving day, give a copy of your mini family scrapbook to each family member as a memento after dinner. It will be one celebration no one will be likely to forget for years to come.
