× I usually held a small party with my friends and my families at home, which made the day more meaningful and joyful.
✓ I usually held a small party with my friends and my family at home, which made the day more meaningful and joyful.
The word 'families' is plural, but here it should be singular 'family' because it refers to the collective family group of the speaker. Using 'families' implies multiple separate family units, which is incorrect in this context.
× ...it can help strengthen relationships with my friends and families and creates joyful moment.
✓ ...it can help strengthen relationships with my friends and family and create joyful moments.
Again, 'families' should be 'family' to refer to the speaker's family as a whole. Also, 'creates' should be 'create' to agree with the plural subject 'relationships'. 'Moment' should be plural 'moments' to match the context of multiple joyful times.
