Mrs. Party Entertainment Holiday and Birthday News

A Thanksgiving Day Dinner Party is a great way to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday. The pilgrims were apart of the Puritan movement in England during the 17th century. They were persecuted for their religious beliefs and decide to go to the Americas to create a “shining city on a hill.” When the Pilgrims crossed the Atlantic Ocean in 1620, they landed on the rocky shores of a territory that was inhabited by the Wampanoag Indians. The Wampanoag were part of the Algonquian-speaking peoples. One year later The Pilgrims were not in good condition. They were living in dirt-covered shelters, there was a shortage of food, and nearly half of them had died during the winter. The Wampanoag gave the Pilgrims the help they need. By spring the settlement was doing much better. They gave a feast in thanks of their survival and for the Wampanoag who taught them how to live in the harsh conditions. The Pilgrims learned how to cultivate corn and other new vegetables and how to build Indian-style houses. For three days the Wampanoag feasted with the Pilgrims. It was a special time of friendship between two very different groups of people. A peace and friendship agreement was made between Massasoit the Wampanoag chief and Miles Standish the puritan governor. Thanksgiving Party Supplies like paper plates, napkins, and cups are a nice way to complete a Thanksgiving Party Theme. Using party decorations like Thanksgiving pilgrim hats as a centerpiece can also double as party prizes. Party favors like Thanksgiving stickers or glow jewelry fit a Thanksgiving Party Theme.
