Friendsgiving Themes
Here are some fun Friendsgiving theme ideas to help you plan your fun evening of being thankful.
Friends TV show Friendsgiving Theme
Let’s start with probably the most popular, yet certainly still fun, Friendsgiving theme: Friends the tv show.
For a Friends tv show theme, you’ll want to decorate the living space – kitchen, dining room, and living room – just like Monica’s apartment.
If you’re brave, you can recreate Rachel’s trifle, complete with beef, peas, and onion. Or, as the linked post suggests, swap out the savory ingredients with similar-looking candy.
You can play episodes of Friends on the tv on mute, because, let’s face it, if you’re throwing this themed party everyone already probably knows the dialogue.
To test everyone’s knowledge, make sure to play Friends Trivial Pursuit.
Whoever wins gets to go home with a Geller Cup trophy!
For an extra added level of fun, have everyone dress up as a Friends character. The 90s fashion is coming back so it should be easy to find something at your local store.
I’m loving this Friends Friendsgiving theme invitation by Sincerely Susan VIP. The back of the invitation is perfect, too!
I also love these cocktail drink covers by Ninalems Party, a perfect way to set the scene at the dinner table.
Girly Glam Friendsgiving Theme
Think rose gold, flowers or pampas in pumpkins, and lots of sparkle! You can add texture and really make it a fun, girly time celebrating friendship.
Have guests arrive in a girly fashion, whether they want to do cozy girly in fuzzy clothes or dress to the nines.
You can set the mood with your invitation and let them know which dress code you want – comfortable girly or full glam.
I love this rose gold and pink streamer background by Postbox Party, perfect to capture all your friends at the party.
Here’s a beautiful glam Friendsgiving theme party invitation by A Girl and Her Prints.
Football Fans Friendsgiving Theme
Think Super Bowl but in the fall! Bring in the cozy orange and brown colors to tie in both the pumpkins and the footballs. This theme is great for co-ed parties as well!
Set the football theme with an invitation so your friends know to expect watching the game. Fig Tree Paperie has a fun football Friendsgiving invitation that’s perfect.
For the table centerpiece, Stesha Party has a really cool goal post balloon centerpiece that’s a must-have.
Of course, if your friends are up for it, you may want to play a backyard game of football. You can grab flag football ties if you want to stick the whole tackling thing.
Some people are not fans of pie, so make sure to offer another treat. I have a full detailed tutorial and recipe for these football sugar cookies that were also featured on FOX News!
Pajama Party Friendsgiving Theme
For the ultimate cozy night with your friends, host a pajama party Friendsgiving!
Place blankets and throw pillows all over the living room, set out candles, and have a pair of slippers ready for everyone.
I love this “get your fat pants ready” invitation by Viola Mirabilis Design. You can edit the details to emphasize wearing your cozy pjs to the party!
Harvest Party Friendsgiving Theme
A more traditional Thanksgiving inspired Friendsgiving, this is great for keeping everything simple and nostalgic.
Many friends love to get together when family lives too far away, making this a perfect Friendsgiving theme for them.
TKM Party Printables has a beautiful classic Thanksgiving/Friendsgiving party invitation for this theme.
Charcuterie Board Party Friendsgiving Theme
Have your friends arrive with a Thanksgiving inspired charcuterie board. You can hand out themes like turkey, dessert, or salad, or just see what your guests come up with!
Raine of Sunshine has the perfect charcuterie Friendsgiving invitation to let all your guests know the deets.
Decor can be simple with wood print and the colors of fall. The food on the boards are going to be what really decorates this Friendsgiving theme.
To make a dessert charcuterie board, think about mini pumpkin pies and mini pumpkin spice sugar cookies.
Chopped Party Friendsgiving Theme
Rather than letting your guests pick which side they want to bring, tell people what secret ingredient they must include in their dish.
To make this work, you’ll first need to ask about any food allergies. But then, in the invitations, tell each person an ingredient that their dish must include.
You can use traditional Thanksgiving ingredients such as pumpkin or you can choose non-traditional ingredients like jalapeno. You can get a lot of fun ideas generated!
Tell your guests to bring their recipes with them to the party so the “winning dishes” can write them down onto pretty recipe cards for everyone to bring home.
To decorate for this theme, keep everything looking like a modern industrial kitchen. As most of us don’t have kitchens that resemble this, you can use stainless steel contact paper. Just make sure to use it on a safe surface or on poster board.
Board Game Friendsgiving Theme
Have guests each bring their favorite board game to play. There’s typically plenty of time to play before, during, and after eating!
This theme is informal and perfect for wearing your turkey “fat pants” to lounge around in. Make sure there are plenty of tables if you have so many guests you need to split up a bit.
Sassy Pants Lucy has the perfect invitation for this Friendsgiving theme.
During the meal, you can play slower paced games or even play some Thanksgiving inspired trivia.
I love this trivia by The Paper Memories Co as it is on theme and has five rounds, plenty for a long Friendsgiving dinner of seconds, possibly thirds, and dessert.
Elegant Friendsgiving Theme
This Friendsgiving theme is for those who love to dress up for dinner. Depending on your location, you may want to opt for a long sleeve outfit in warmer material.
Decorate with gold for your metallic shade to match the warmth of the season.
Honey Editable Prints has a beautiful Friendsgiving party invitation for an elegant get together.
I love these napkin name tags by Island 2 Mountain, they offer the perfect amount of elegance for a Friendsgiving dinner.
Fall Flannel Friendsgiving Theme
There’s just something about wearing flannel in the fall. Invite your friends over for a flannel themed Friendsgiving.
This is a fun one to do outdoor if you can; it really adds to the fall ambiance. Set up a fire pit and keep food hot in banquet trays.
For friends who don’t love pie, you can offer s’mores cut out sugar cookies. Who doesn’t love sugar cookies, especially when they are filled with mini marshmallows and chocolate chips?
I love this flannel Friendsgiving theme invitation by BOHO Invites!
