How to Host a Family Game Night

We’re celebrating summer with a simple game night! Hosting a game night for my family is one of my favorite things to do. We snack on popcorn and dessert, the kids get to stay up late and we indulge in the best OREO®  Ice Cream Cake, which I picked up at my local Kroger store in the bakery freezer section. We each choose a game to play, clear off the coffee table, toss down some pillows, and create the best memories.

Here’s how to host a family game night.

Appetizers

Game Night Ice Cream Cake

We make the evening special by serving a super delish OREO Ice Cream Cake from I Love Ice Cream Cakes. It’s my kid’s absolute favorite and we all indulge in a slice. It’s the perfect way to make little moments, like family game night, sweeter.

The OREO Ice Cream Cake has a whipped, creamy icing and is made with the best OREO ice cream, with a large OREO cookie on top. My whole family loves it!

You can find the cakes from I Love Ice Cream Cakes in the bakery or freezer section of your local grocery store. You can also order them online using the product locator at ILoveIceCreamCakes.com. They come in lots of different sizes, themes and delicious flavors, including Carvel®, OREO and REESE’S. A small cake feeds about 5 people and the larger ones up to 24.
