What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is celebrating Thanksgiving with your Friends instead of your family. Has this always been a thing? I don’t know, but I think it became popular after the sitcom Friends. They almost always had Thanksgiving together as Friends. Man, I miss that show. Another one of my favorite shows, Felicity, celebrated Friendsgiving. Do you remember that show? I think you can make your Friendsgiving table as formal or informal as you like. I’m going to share some inspiration for your next Friendsgiving Table.

What I used

I love using lots of greenery for my tablescapes. I think eucalyptus is perfect for any season. I layered several eucalyptus garlands in the center of my table over a piece of chiffon fabric.

Candles. You have to have candles. I love vintage brass candlestick holders. But I think it’s fun to mix in glass or wood candle holders, as well. These days, there are so many options for candles too! I really love the twisted candles and all the different moody colors that are offered.

For the place settings, I use my everyday cream-colored dishes. I like to use seagrass placemats, as well. You could also do chargers or really anything! There are so many possibilities. I use gold flatware for each setting for some glam. You can add individual pumpkins to each place setting or books. Here’s where you can give each guest a little gift, if you like.

What to Serve?

What’s on the menu? You could definitely make all the food yourself, but I would have my guests each bring something. This is Friendsgiving after all. You could assign each guest a food to bring or leave it up to them. You could have each guest bring a side or a dessert. Or bring a beverage of their choice. Here’s a list of some of my favorites.

• Mississippi Mud Pot Roast
• Roasted Turkey with all the fixings
• Sweet Potato Casserole with marshmallows
• Green Bean Casserole
• Dinner Rolls
• Glazed Carrots
• Bacon wrapped Asparagus
• Stuffing/Dressing
• Mashed Potatoes and gravy
• Corn
• Cranberry Sauce (homemade or from a can)

I think with Friendsgiving, the menu could be nontraditional. Since you’re probably going to have a traditional Thanksgiving meal with your family, you can try some different recipes for your Friendsgiving celebration. That could even be your theme!

Conclusion
