    For the feast, ask each guest to bring one dish, which keeps the cost down and gives everyone a part in the party.

  3. 3

    Book cabins and classes early, since the whole holiday season starts to fill up from mid-November.

Ways to use this wheel

  • Gratitude toast: ask each guest to say one thing they like about the birthday person before the cake.
  • Dumpling night: let guests fold their own and have a contest for the best shape.

A cozy November birthday

November is about warmth and togetherness. The wheel suggests a Friendsgiving-style feast, a board game marathon with artisanal pizza, a cooking class making pasta or dumplings and a cabin weekend. Spin to pick, and keep the plans comfortable.

The birthstones for November are topaz and citrine, and the flower is the chrysanthemum. Warm golds and ambers are a good theme.

Working around the holidays

November birthdays are Scorpio until about the 21st and Sagittarius after that. In the United States, Thanksgiving week is hard for travel and hosting, so celebrate the weekend before or after. A cooking class is a good way to include people who like to be hands-on.
