The end of the year is quickly approaching, and the festive holidays are just weeks away. Aside from hosting the single biggest food coma day of the year — a.k.a., Thanksgiving, there is another similar celebration known as “Friendsgiving.” Yes, Friendsgiving, a day filled with fun, laughter, and endless amounts of food with your closest friends. So, no matter what your theme is for your celebration, whether it’s modern, boho, glam, or just festive, reconnect with your guests this holiday! And leave your friends awe-struck with 6 of our creative and fun décor ideas that are sure to make your night unforgettable!
1. Invitations
Before you can get the Friendsgiving party started, sending your guests a classy and fun invitation is a must! And what sets these invitations apart from the average invite? Customization! Surprise your guests with a paper, heavy-duty stock paper, or even a downloadable Evite with a hint of your Friendsgiving décor to get everyone excited for what’s to come. If you’re feeling extra generous, pair your Friendsgiving invitations with a matching gift bag if you are planning to hand out a party favor. Lastly, when sending out your holiday invites, make sure to mail them at least a week in advance to give your friends time to make arrangements.
2. Photo Booth Props
Memorialize your Friendsgiving day with a DIY photo booth with creative and funny photo booth props. Turn the fun up a notch using the props for funny faces and hilarious poses to make long-lasting memories that you can have forever to remember your Friendsgiving party!
3. Menus
Take your place settings to the next level with fun printable menus to give your guests something to talk about. If you are hosting a potluck-style Friendsgiving this year, you can create a fun conversation of “guess who made what.” Ask your friends what they are bringing ahead of time, and then customize a menu so guests can try matching dishes and desserts with their makers’ corresponding fun facts.
4. Table Runners
If you are looking for some table décor to make your tabletop more festive for this Friendsgiving, consider adding a reusable table runner in all white with the holiday in black lettering for a classic look. Or if you are leaning more toward a boho theme this year, try a macrame table runner to give your table an eye-catching detail.
5. Personalized Place Holders
If you assign seats this Friendsgiving, make your guests feel extra special this year with personalized placeholders around your holiday table. This creates a lovely keepsake for your friends to take home — whether you have a more modern theme, use chic golden pumpkin place card holders, or for a rustic theme, incorporate cute little wood logs and fall leaves you collect this season.
6. Leftover Stations
The best part of any November feast is the leftovers, of course! You spend the day cooking several pounds of food, and sometimes your guests bring the occasional complementary sides, dishes, and desserts that end up filling up your fridge and freezer for weeks on end. A creative way to avoid overloading your fridge with leftovers is crafting a decorative leftover station filled with a variety of to-go containers in all sizes so your friends can take home as much food as they want in a stylish container!
