15 Friendsgiving Decor Ideas

Thanksgiving is just around the corner and it’s time to start planning your Friendsgiving with the gal pals! Here’s a great list of 15 Friendsgiving decor ideas that’ll make this year’s event the best.

Friendsgiving Ideas

The first Friendsgiving I hosted was a ball! It was one of the first gatherings I hosted with my roommates, we had so much fun. Everyone brought their own dish, we displayed everything in the kitchen, had music going, set up tables and chairs in the living area because that’s where we had room, lit candles, and got to feasting!

I had no idea how much food was coming, as everyone brought their own dish to contribute and we FILLED UPPPP the kitchen. It was amazing. Naturally, I was the one in charge of Friendsgiving decor ideas, so you can imagine I went all out. Lights were hung everywhere (literally everywhere), I lit every candle we owned and had some spread along the tables. I wanted the whole look, ok?

We had a cute tablecloth (probably was a tapestry) and made use of all the chairs and couch seating we had. I have to say, decorating for gatherings with friends and having people over in general is seriously SO fun to get creative with, and to realize how much it’ll make you want to host more events. That’s all I want to do now is host more events! Even with the limited space we had, having all our people together, lots of yummy food, and the fun Friendsgiving decor ideas, it made for a perfect Friendsgiving!

Friendsgiving Party Planning Tips

Soooo how does one even start planning for the absolute best Friendsgiving? Because you want to make sure everyone is having a good time and are prepared for literally anything, but want to make it cute.

The first best thing you can do is write yourself a list of everything you will need to make the party happen. I also recommend doing this a couple weeks before your Friendsgiving so you have time to plan and won’t forget anything! Whether you’re wanting to keep Friendsgiving simple or be completely “extra” with it, it’s really helpful to have a list to refer to and brainstorm.

Even sitting down with your gals if you’re hosting with a few people, to have everyone’s ideas down makes the difference! Below is a suggested list of Friendsgiving party planning tips and what to have ready that will help you to host the most fun, clever and easy Friendsgiving!

Tables and chairs to sit & eat (even if it’s in your living room)
Champagne, a FESTIVE PUNCH (more than you think)
A Facebook event so everyone can see the dish each person is bringing/who’s going
Lights and candles- alotta them!
Tablecloth
Enough plates, cups, and silverware
GOOD TUNES
Fun props for those photos you know you’ll take
An activity for guests
Room in your fridge for left-overs
A good amount of space for everyone to feel comfortable/have a good time

Friendsgiving Decorating Ideas

THE FUN PART. If you haven’t already…pull out all and every decoration you own because you have a party to plan!!! This is without question my absolute favorite part of hosting and sets the bar for it all. Food is awesome, we love food, but can it really feel like a true Friendsgiving without all the decor?? The answer is no. You need the right vibe.

When I planned the first Friendsgiving I hosted, I was in charge of decorating (probably because I was the only one who cared about making things look cute) and it was a blast! It’s your call how much decorating you want to do but if you’re a big decor gal like me and want the most memorable experience, listen here. In my opinion, being in charge of the Friendsgiving decor ideas was one of the BEST tasks!

This is such a great chance to put your own touch to a party and do something you know everyone will love. Whether it be lights, a backdrop, sign, cool cups, props, drink labels, a fun menu, bar cart essentials, or anything else, you will find all those perfect part additions here! It’s all about creating an unforgettable experience for you and your friends with the best Friendsgiving decoration ideas. Get on that decorating gals and guys!!!

The Friendsgiving look

“Friendsgiving is a gathering where you can bring over the closest members of your tribe for endless wine, funky music, and plenty of inspired fall recipes! And it truly helps me set the tone for the festivities ahead during the holiday season by connecting me with what’s important—good times spent with those I love.”

“I’m sure you’ve all collected some of the gorgeous fall leaves that are currently covering our sidewalks. And this is a great way to put them to use! A nice keepsake for your friends + family when they’re over for holiday brunch/lunch/dinner/gift-giving and then some… don’t you think?”

Bar cart decor

Not only is it SUPER CUTE having a bar cute out with displayed drinks, adding an adorable sign and some pumpkins makes the difference to a Friendsgiving decor look! I love how the pumpkins fill the bottom of the car and the sign just ties it all together. This can go for anything you already have that you add decor too.
