Friendsgiving Invitations

Ready to throw the ultimate fall celebration? Gather your friends for a Friendsgiving party! Whether you're hosting Friendsgiving brunch, a traditional seated dinner with lots of friends and all the classic dishes, or you're doing it your way, this festive holiday is a great opportunity to channel the gratitude and fun of Thanksgiving with your chosen family!

Plus, this friend-focused party theme is on the rise! In fact, over the last few years, our data shows that Friendsgiving celebrations are becoming more and more popular. Time to get in on the fun? Start planning with Evite's top-rated Friendsgiving Invitations.

Friendsgiving is a fun spin on the holiday Thanksgiving. It is a hybrid of a classic Thanksgiving celebration… but with friends! Since Thanksgiving meals are often shared with family, Friendsgiving is a chance to get in the celebratory spirit with friends, too.

While Thanksgiving has a set date each year, Friendsgiving can be celebrated all fall long! November is the most common month to celebrate Friendsgiving, but since people's calendars often fill up during these busy holiday months, you could also throw an early Friendsgiving in October or even a belated one in December.

Friendsgivings are traditionally potluck events. If you're not sure what to bring, start with the classics! Many Friendsgivings stick to a traditional Thanksgiving menu with a turkey and common sides including mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green beans, and more. Don't forget dessert! You can also bring a pie — homemade or store bought, whichever you prefer.

It's also always safe to ask the host what you can contribute. When in doubt, bring a bottle of wine or a non-alcoholic gift (the Evite blog has a few ideas for you here).

You can also consider offering to help bring dishware or cutlery, if the host will be having more people over than usual!

One great way to coordinate what people should bring to a potluck party? Evite SignUp Sheets makes it simple and easy for people to sign up to bring different dishes (so that you don't end up with four casseroles and no desserts).

While this event is often somewhat similar to a seated meal with all the traditional dishes, there are so many different ways to celebrate the friend-focused holiday!

Whether you add a unique spin to a classic dinner celebration by including gratitude cards for people to fill out and give to each other, or select a unique food theme, the options are endless. What about a party where all the classic Thanksgiving dinner dishes are served as pizza flavors/toppings? See, you can get totally creative!

Friendsgiving can be a good opportunity for your friend group to get all dressed up, but you can also opt for a more casual event, like a paint and sip craft night or a WTF (Wine, Turkey, Friends) party. The options are endless!
