What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is a blend of the words “friends” and “Thanksgiving,” and it’s exactly what it sounds like—a Thanksgiving meal shared with friends. Unlike the traditional family-focused Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving is all about gathering with your closest pals to celebrate your unique bond. It usually takes place in the weeks leading up to Thanksgiving or even on the day itself if you’re unable to travel home for the holiday. Friendsgiving is a time to express gratitude for your friendships, enjoy delicious food, and create lasting memories in a more laid-back, fun environment.

Delicious Friendsgiving Food Ideas to Wow Your Guests

One of the most important aspects of Friendsgiving is the food. While it often includes traditional Thanksgiving dishes, the beauty of Friendsgiving is that you can get creative and tailor the menu to your group’s preferences. Here are some Friendsgiving food ideas to inspire your feast:

• Classic Turkey and Stuffing: If you’re going for a traditional vibe, a roasted turkey with stuffing is a must. Consider a twist on the stuffing by adding unique ingredients like cranberries, sausage, or apples.
• Potluck Style: Encourage each guest to bring their favorite dish. This approach not only makes hosting easier but also adds a variety of flavors to the table. You might end up with an eclectic mix of dishes, from mac and cheese to lasagna or even sushi!
• Vegan and Vegetarian Options: With more people adopting plant-based diets, it’s thoughtful to include vegan and vegetarian options. Consider dishes like roasted vegetable salads, lentil loaf, or a hearty butternut squash soup.
• Friendsgiving Desserts: No Friendsgiving is complete without dessert. Pumpkin pie is a classic, but feel free to branch out with options like pecan pie bars, apple crisp, or a dessert charcuterie board featuring chocolates, fruits, and nuts.
• Signature Cocktails: Elevate your gathering with a signature Friendsgiving cocktail. A spiced apple cider, cranberry Moscow mule, or a simple mulled wine can add a festive touch to your event.

For an extra festive experience, design menu cards to include on the table settings that will get your guests excited about their Thanksgiving meal.

Festive Friendsgiving Decorations to Set the Perfect Atmosphere

Creating the perfect atmosphere is key to a memorable Friendsgiving. The decorations should reflect the warmth and coziness of the season while also incorporating elements of fun and friendship. Here are some ideas to inspire your Friendsgiving décor:

• Table Settings: Use a mix of autumnal colors like burnt orange, deep reds, and golden yellows for your table settings. Incorporate natural elements like pinecones, leaves, and small pumpkins as centerpieces. Personalized place cards can add a special touch, making each guest feel valued.
• Lighting: Soft, ambient lighting can set the mood for a cozy evening. Consider string lights, candles, and lanterns to create a warm glow. If you’re dining outdoors, fire pits or portable heaters can keep the chill away. To proudly showcase your friendships, design photo candles with your group’s favorite pictures.
• Photo Wall: Create a photo wall or backdrop where guests can take pictures. Use fall-themed props like flannel blankets, scarves, and funny hats to add a playful element. This is a great way to capture memories from the night.
• Friendsgiving Banner: Hang a festive “Friendsgiving” banner over the entrance or above the dining area. You can DIY one with craft supplies or find a pre-made option that fits your theme. Check out Shutterfly’s bunting banners to create the perfect one for your party.

Get the Party Started With Friendsgiving Invitations

The first step to planning a successful Friendsgiving is sending out invitations. While you can certainly send a quick text, a personalized invitation adds a special touch and builds excitement for the event. Shutterfly offers a variety of customizable Friendsgiving invitations that allow you to choose the design, color scheme, and wording that best suits your celebration. Here are some tips for crafting the perfect Friendsgiving invitation:

• Theme and Design: Choose a design that reflects the vibe of your Friendsgiving, whether it’s cozy and intimate or lively and fun. Shutterfly’s wide selection makes it easy to find something that matches your style.
• Details: Be sure to include all the important details—date, time, location, and whether guests should bring a dish or drink. You might also want to specify a dress code, such as “casual and cozy” or “fall festive.”
• RSVP: Include a way for guests to RSVP, whether it’s through a simple reply, a call, or an online event page. This will help you get an accurate headcount and plan accordingly.
• Personal Touch: Add a personal message to your invitation, such as a note about how excited you are to celebrate with your friends. A personalized touch makes the invitation feel even more special. Consider including a favorite fall quote to make it extra festive.

What to Bring to Friendsgiving: Thoughtful and Tasty Contributions

If you’re attending a Friendsgiving, it’s always polite to bring something to contribute to the meal or the festivities. Here are some ideas for what to bring:

• A Dish or Dessert: If it’s a potluck-style Friendsgiving, bring your favorite dish or dessert. Make sure to coordinate with the host to avoid duplicates.
• Wine or Cocktails: A bottle of wine or ingredients for a signature cocktail can be a great contribution. Be sure to bring enough to share!
• Hostess Gift: A small token of appreciation for the host, such as a scented candle, a cozy blanket, or a set of festive dish towels, is always a nice gesture.
• Board Games or Party Games: If the host hasn’t planned any activities, bring along a fun game to keep everyone entertained after dinner.
• Serving Ware: If you’re bringing a dish that requires special serving utensils or platters, bring them along to make things easier for the host.

Fun and Festive Friendsgiving Games to Keep the Party Going

No Friendsgiving is complete without a few games to keep the fun going after the meal. Whether you prefer board games, card games, or something more active, here are some ideas to get the party started:

• Friendsgiving Bingo: Create bingo cards with Friendsgiving-related items, like “turkey,” “pumpkin pie,” “wine glass,” and “selfie.” Guests can mark off items as they spot them throughout the night.
• Personalized Card Games: Elevate your game night with custom playing cards featuring photos of your friends. These personalized decks add a unique and fun twist to classic card games, making them even more memorable for your Friendsgiving celebration.
• Charades or Pictionary: These classic party games are always a hit. Use fall or Friendsgiving-themed prompts for a festive twist.
• Trivia: Prepare a trivia game with questions related to Thanksgiving, Friendsgiving, or general pop culture. You can even include some questions about your friend group for added fun.
• Board Games: Bring out your favorite board games, like Settlers of Catan, Monopoly, or Cards Against Humanity. These are perfect for keeping the laughter and conversation flowing.
• Photo Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of photo challenges for your guests to complete during the night, like “take a selfie with the host” or “capture a picture of the best-dressed guest.” The person or team with the most photos wins a small prize.

Additional Friendsgiving Tips for a Celebration to Remember

To ensure your Friendsgiving is a success, here are a few additional tips:

• Plan Ahead: Give yourself plenty of time to plan, especially if you’re hosting. Send out invitations at least a few weeks in advance and start thinking about your menu, decorations, and activities early on.
• Delegate Tasks: Don’t be afraid to ask your friends for help. Whether it’s bringing a dish, setting up decorations, or coordinating games, sharing the responsibilities will make the day less stressful and more enjoyable for everyone.
• Consider Dietary Restrictions: Make sure to ask your guests if they have any dietary restrictions or allergies and plan your menu accordingly. It’s always a good idea to have a few vegan, vegetarian, or gluten-free options available.
• Keep It Fun: The most important thing about Friendsgiving is to have fun and enjoy the company of your friends. Don’t stress too much about perfection—after all, it’s the memories that matter most.
