How to Plan the Perfect Friendsgiving wi...

ALLISON WETIG AND CEARA KIRKPATRICK
About this episode

As the Already Friends podcast, of course we have to do an episode about Friendsgiving! In this episode, we're diving headfirst into the world of Friendsgiving, the ever-popular tradition of celebrating Thanksgiving with your besties! To help us with planning the perfect Friendsgiving, we've invited the ultimate party planner and our dear friend, Jane Stewart, to join the conversation.

Jane shares her insights, tips, and tricks for hosting a memorable Friendsgiving and talks about:

  • How to add personal touches to your Friendsgiving 
  • Game ideas to entertain your guests 
  • Being realistic on how big your Friendsgiving should be
  • What food to serve? Should guests bring a dish?
  • How to ensure not everyone brings the same dish
  • Drink ideas for your guests 
  • Tips for being an amazing guest 
  • Tips for starting a conversation with anyone


As always, we catch up beforehand. Jane talks about traveling 24/7 for work, how she got her dream job traveling the world as Marriott Bonvoy’s TikTok correspondent, what it was like *almost* getting cast for the Bachelor, and life living in LA. 

Whether you're a Friendsgiving pro or a newbie, you’ll find some tips that will make your Friendsgiving one you’ll never forget!
