      Holiday · Lifestyle · What Type Are You?

      By BrainFall Staff - Updated: March 18, 2024

      Did your momma raise you right and make you the perfect, gracious, always-welcome Thanksgiving holiday guest? Thanksgiving is the ultimate dinner party, are you the ultimate invitee?

      What Type of Thanksgiving Guest Are You?

      Thanksgiving isn't just about gobbling up turkey and pumpkin pie; it’s about the fascinating mix of people who gather around the table. Think about it—every Thanksgiving celebration is like a potluck of personalities. Are you the life of the party, ready with a joke as golden as the turkey, or are you the master of ceremonies, running the show with a gravy boat in one hand and a wine opener in the other? Maybe you're the one who's always on dish duty, armed with a sponge and an unyielding sense of duty before the first guest even arrives.

      Your role at these gatherings is more important than you might think. It's the spice that brings flavor to the event, the secret ingredient that could either make the holiday feast a heartwarming success or a recipe for dinner disaster. Are you curious to find out what kind of Thanksgiving guest you turn into once the holiday season rolls in? It's time to peel back the layers like onions on the chopping board and uncover which character you play in this annual banquet of gratitude.

      If you’re ready to carve into the meat of the matter, take a seat at the table and let's figure out whether you're the person who brings extra dessert or the one who arrives with nothing but an appetite. After all, someone needs to eat the brussels sprouts, right? Take the "What Type of Thanksgiving Guest Are You?" quiz and find out where you fit in the turkey day tableau.

      Surviving the Turkey Day: A Guest's Handbook

      Navigating Thanksgiving as a guest is kind of like participating in a friendly game where the rules aren't clear, but everyone still wants to win. As you plan to gather around the table, bulging with a cornucopia of dishes, and sit amongst family and friends who double as loving foes, let's talk strategy.

      Pre-Dinner Preparations

      You snooze, you lose: Make sure your RSVP isn’t something you casually mention in a text message and forget. Confirm your attendance early, neatly wrap up a gift like a bottle of wine, and do a quick allergy check. Just because you can handle a peanut crumble with grace doesn't mean Aunt Jane can.

      • Dress Code: Comfortably chic – You want to leave enough room for that turkey and pie, but still snap a good pic.
      • Arrival: Fashionably on time – Which translates to 15 minutes after the invite says, not when the gravy’s cold.

      Table Manners and Other Myths

      The Mythical Etiquette Beast: It's actually a cuddly creature. Start by offering to help your host – it's no epic task. Pass the serving utensils handle-first to avoid a medieval joust.

      • Menu Conversations: Stick to flavorful talk. Grandma's stuffing recipe? Delicious. Your views on politics or the family drama? Hard pass.
      • In Moderation: Go light on the wine, heavy on the compliments to the cook, and have a manageable portion. Second helpings? Totally fair game – you're not at Thanksgiving to count calories.

      The Post-Feast Strategy

      Like a Well-Oiled Football Team: You pivot to cleanup without a grumble. Read the room – maybe play a quick round of dish-jenga before insisting on washing every spoon.

      • Contribute: Brought a dish? Make sure to reclaim your platter. If it’s potluck-style, remember, your "famous" casserole had better live up to the hype.
      • Leftover Protocol: Wait for the offer. Don't be the guest attacking the turkey carcass like it's the last piece of meat on earth.

      Remember, Thanksgiving's ultimate prize isn’t about flaunting your flawless etiquette. It’s about winning the title of "Most Memorable (for the Right Reasons) Guest." Game on, pilgrim.

      The Art of Gracious Goodbyes

      Mastering the art of leaving a Thanksgiving party is just as important as making a grand entrance. It's a subtle dance of timing and appreciation that ensures your place at the table year after year.

      Exit Stage Left with Grace

      Remember, you're not Houdini performing an elaborate escape; leaving a party requires finesse. When time to leave approaches, start winding down the chatting and blend out of the conversations. Have you been helping in the kitchen? Make sure that oven mitt finds its home and the last serving dish is at least offered to go in the fridge. Be aware of not getting caught in a whole new round of warmth and love that could hold up the proceedings. The key is to not abruptly vanish (no love for ghosting!), but to make your exit noticeable to the host without a grand spectacle.

      Reciprocity: Or How to Get Invited Back Next Year

      If you want to stay in the host's good graces and snag that return invite, a bit of thoughtfulness goes a long way. Did you bring a hostess gift? It's a classic move for a reason. A small gift, like flowers, shows appreciation without seeming over the top. Now, don't just phone in your thanks the next day—go the extra mile with handwritten thank you notes. It's vintage chic and says "I'm too sophisticated to just text." Be the guest who remembers the little things, like offering to take a family photo for your hosts, or genuinely complimenting their new ice bucket. Remember, it’s these nuances that distinguish a memorable guest from just another name on the party list.
