Friendsgiving

10 Tips Tried and True Tips for Friendsgiving

Hey friends, I just finished prepping for our 17th annual Friendsgiving this weekend. I can’t believe we’ve been doing it this long! It’s really evolved over the years into something all of our friends look forward to all year. And when we first starting having them, it was during college with friends and roommates. It’s been so amazing to see it expand and contract over the years with new friends, old friends, new spouses and significant others, children, pets…you name it!

I figured I’d share my top 10 tips I’ve learned along the way!

Decorating for Fall with Walmart

It’s the last day of September, have you transitioned to Fall yet? We’re just starting to get cooler weather the last couple of days, so I’m starting to feel it! Fall is my favorite season ever and even though we’re in the midst of tearing up the kitchen and putting it back together (you can see more on my Instagram stories!), I still had to put some fall touches around the house!

Most of the items can be done for little to no dolla-dolla bills and you will be spending lots of time with your friends and family. Just how I like it! I started compiling a list of my favorite fall activities after realizing how successful our holiday advent calendar was during December. I figured why not priorities some fun fall activities as well?!

Friendsgiving with World Market

Every year my husband and I throw a Friendsgiving for all of our closest friends. I think we might be going on our 12th year now (wow!). I like to start thinking about table decor early, so when it’s time, I can worry more about food prep and less about decor 😉 I partnered with World Market and went though a little trial run this week. They’re always my first stop for entertaining essentials and decor. You just can’t beat their selection and prices!

I decided to map out a few different looks using the same color scheme. I used a gray buffalo check plaid on the table and mixed it with some white and gray dinnerware. I love how gray is kind of a non-traditional color to use for fall. It really gives the table a more updated look. And isn’t it funny how mixing around the accessories can give the table a different feel? Also a huge factor in tabletop decor? The florals. The gorgeous flowers I used today are from my favorite local floral designer Freya Prowe from Brother & Sisters Flowers.

Take a look at the different table setups below and let me know what you think! Which one is your favorite?

Friendsgiving with Crate & Barrel

Tonight’s the night! Our annual Friendsgiving dinner 🙂 We decided to celebrate it at our cabin in Tahoe this year with all of our closest friends! Even though the logistics were a little more work, I think the cabin and snow will make up for it.

I wanted to share with you my vision for our dinner this year (You also can find more inspiration on my Friendsgiving Pinterest board). I wanted the perfect blend of rustic sophistication. I adore a mix of wood and natural texture with high contrast black and white – obviously 😉 It will be fun to decorate against the woodsy backdrop in our cabin!

I partnered with Crate & Barrel and found some great items to help bring my inspiration to life. Crate & Barrel has a great Thanksgiving selection right now. I’m so happy to see that, as so many stores these days give Thanksgiving the cold shoulder in favor of Christmas. What is that?! Another thing I love is that they offer versatile pieces that can be used all year round. I’m all for that concept. I bought special Thanksgiving dishes, oh about 5 years ago now, because I thought we’d use them every year for Friendsgiving. We’ve used them….once. Yep. I always find myself going back to the basics and then changing it up by adding fun and whimsical decor. Keeps things spicy that way 😉

Five for Fifty | Friendsgiving Ideas with World Market

We’re hosting a Friendsgiving dinner next week, it will be our 12th one! We love it. So my mind has been Thanksgiving decor overload lately. No website is safe from my search 😉 I wanted to share a few goodies I have my eye on over at Cost Plus World Market. They have this super fun woodland theme going on that I’m loving for fall. They always have such a good selection of not only decor items, but food products as well. So I’ll definitely making a supply run over there. Thanks for making it easy on me WM, you rock.

I used this gorgeous inspiration pic and recreated the look. So instead of #FiveforFifty it’s actually seven items for $50 or less 😉 Enjoy!
