• Friendsgiving Cards: Some friends may live in your neighborhood or apartment building while others live across town; send a card to all of them so everyone feels equally important.
• Friendsgiving Décor: When you have people coming over, the first step is to clean the house. The second step is to decorate it for the occasion!
• Friendsgiving T-Shirts: Is it really a special event if there isn't a shirt included? You can use the same design from your invitations.
• Friendsgiving Gifts: Thank those special friends of yours with a unique gift so they can fondly remember the amazing evening.
• Friendsgiving Mugs: After dinner, you can let everyone relax with a cup of tea or coffee. And while you're doing that, why not let them pick from a selection of mugs and take their favorite home with them?

• A greeting – Set the mood for the event with a bold, upbeat heading. "Time for Food and Friends," for example, or a cheeky "Can You Gobble ‘Till You Wobble?" for those funny Friendsgiving invitations.

Friendsgiving is a Thanksgiving dinner but with your closest friends opposed to your family. This is a modern solution for those not living close to their family during the Thanksgiving season. Have all of your chosen family sit around your table and enjoy the dinner you spent hours cooking. Many people choose to host it before the real Turkey Day, as their guest may spend Thanksgiving traveling home to be with family.

That depends on whether you’re hosting a mid-afternoon meal or a delightful dinner. For a Friendsgiving lunch invite, we recommend around 1pm or 2pm: any later would edge the event closer to a dinner, and any earlier could put pressure on everyone to arrive on time (especially if they’re trying to sew themselves into a costume for that aforementioned fancy dress party). For a Friendsgiving dinner invite, around 5pm would be best: you don’t want to keep those hungry bellies rumbling for too long, and there should be ample time then for post-dinner games and activities!

Although Friendsgiving is more casual than Thanksgiving, sending your invites 4 weeks in advance will give your attendees time to make any necessary arrangements (do some shopping, book transport or accommodation, or mull over their potluck contribution). You may be able to give less notice if your friends are close at hand – in the next town over, say – but if any of them will have to travel cross-country to sample your cooking, at least 4 weeks to save the date is advisable! For any Friendsmas invitations you plan to mail in the coming months, the same would apply – 4 to 6 weeks will ensure your party doesn’t clash with a friend’s work commitment or family gathering.
