LOS ANGELES, Oct. 31, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- With the
most-anticipated meal of the year just weeks away, Americans may be
stressing about perfecting their Thanksgiving meal or making time for friends and
family. In a recent Skout poll, 61% of survey subjects stated their
favorite part of Thanksgiving is
quality time with loved ones. With that in mind, Evite's party
experts are offering no-stress twists on celebrating the holiday,
summarized in the attached infographic:
- Friendsgiving: Not just a Millennial trend,
Friendsgiving is Thanksgiving on your
own terms. According to Evite, Friendsgiving continues to grow: 35%
more events planned so far this year are Friendsgiving-themed over
last year.
- Potlucks: Long associated with casseroles and office
parties, potlucks are adopting a new spin in the age of the
"foodie". "Potlucks are no-brainers: it's good food with good
company, and much less work to put together than a huge dinner,"
said Victor Cho, CEO at Evite.
- Wine (or Cocktails) with Friends: Gathering over
something simple like drinks provides the perfect opportunity to
share gratitude for busy professionals, cocktail lovers, or people
who just prefer not to cook.
To encourage memory-making, Evite is launching their Party for a
Tablet Thanksgiving Sweepstakes on
October 31, 2016. By sending an Evite
invitation for a Thanksgiving event
from bit.ly/EviteThanksgivingSweeps, hosts will automatically enter
to win everything necessary for a D.I.Y. photo booth, including a
tripod and a tablet loaded up with the Evite Photobooth app. The
app, available for iPad in the App Store for $9.99, lets users customize photo strips with
designs, borders and filters, then share digitally or via
print.
"The key part of the holiday is making new memories with the
people you're thankful for," said Cho. "We hope to facilitate that
this season."
