Thanksgiving is the official kickoff of the holiday season, but if you're lucky enough to have good friends in your life, you might be starting a little sooner with a Friendsgiving celebration. Friendsgiving began as a makeshift gathering for those who couldn't join their family for Thanksgiving and has become a popular trend focused on friends and chosen family. You might find all the Thanksgiving menu favorites at the dinner (like turkey, mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce, and pumpkin pie), but this time you'll be enjoying it with your friends! If you can't imagine two back-to-back feasts, don't worry: Friendsgiving is often held the week before the actual holiday, which gives you plenty of time in between.
If you're interested in hosting a Friendsgiving this year, you might want to spread the word the old-fashioned way with written invitations. We've rounded up some of the best Friendsgiving invitations out there and since they're all digital cards, they're super easy to either send online or print and send via snail mail. These holiday invitations range from cute, to funny, to sophisticated. There are also a few that reference your favorite Thanksgiving TV episodes from beloved shows like Friends. Some even have Friendsgiving food ideas in case you want to host a potluck and ask your friends to bring sides, desserts, or Thanksgiving wines. Cheers to planning a fun holiday with friends, with lots of love, laughter, and Friendsgiving games, too!
