The 11 Best Friendsgiving Ideas From Us and Around the Internet
1. Rainbow Inspired
You know we love rainbows, and there’s no need to keep your Friendsgiving celebration neutral. When we discovered these velvet pumpkins from Manor we knew we wanted to do something special with them. They created the perfect centerpiece for the table among coordinating colored wooden pumpkin placemats.
2. Pop Art Inspired
We took our first stab at Friendsgiving last year, and it was pop art inspired. Of course, there was lots of color and also many fun elements, which you can read all about here.
3. Bountiful Balloons
You know second to rainbows would have to be balloons for us. In fact, they are a close tie in our book. What could possibly be more fun than a balloon centerpiece and a balloon filled room? (Sugar & Cloth)
4. “Friends” Themed
If we had to bet, most of your guests know and loved the show “Friends,” so why not make it the theme of the night. Nostalgia will certainly ensue! (Food Network)
5. Game Night
Get your friends excited for a night that will go well beyond when the meal ends. Keep the drinks flowing, grab some dessert, and go sit around your living room and play all the games. (Brit + Co)
6. Pajama Party
Nothing is cozier than a night spent in pajamas, especially when surrounded by great food, friends, and drinks. Make it a pajama party and have the most relaxing, enjoyable night. (The Ivory Lane)
7. Plentiful Pies
Make pie the center of attention by having a pie bar and encouraging all your friends to bring their favorite flavor of pie (homemade or store bought!). (The Dating Divas)
8. Pom Pom Adorned
And following balloons would have to be pom poms. Because pom poms simply make us smile. (Studio DIY)
9. Potluck
And, of course, quite possibly the easiest (and most fun!) way to host Friendsgiving is to make it a potluck style meal. Either assign dishes to each of your guests or have them choose what they’d like to bring, and everyone gets to enjoy a delicious and unique spread. (Whole Foods Market)
10. Pretty Pastels
If you’re looking for a softer take on all things colorful, opt for a pastel scheme and fill the table with soft hues and beautiful accessories. (Aww Sam)
11. Tea Party
Grab some new mugs and an array of teas and make your Friendsgiving a tea party! In keeping with coziness, sipping a hot drink in a warm home is pretty much what fall dreams are made of. (Camille Styles)
