Looking for a fun family idea? Want to impress and surprise your kids? Host a “Fancy Friday” and see the smiles appear on their sweet little faces. The whole idea: a “just because” excuse to get all dressed up and break out that dusty china. The twist: make it fancy but still fun!

Here’s some starter ideas:

- When they get home from school give your children handmade invitations to the “Fancy Friday” dinner you’re hosting. Be sure to mention formal attire is mandatory. Tell them to pick out their fanciest clothing (this will also be fun to see what they choose to wear). Don’t forget to tell them what time to arrive at the dinner table.

-Dust off all of your fancy dinnerware (after all this is a “fancy” occasion) and set a formal table. The twist: do not serve formal food.

-Order pizza or serve another kid-favorite food. They will think this is so fun to be eating pizza of of Mom’s fancy china! Make sure to display the “menu” which can be as simple as writing it on a chalkboard for display.

Get as creative as you wish, just remember to make it equally fancy and fun! Bonus: This is a nice way to remind your children of dinner table etiquette and because it is a fun dinner they won’t feel like it is a lesson in manners.
