How to Set Up the Table for Friendsgiving


Friendsgiving


Arguably, one of the most charming parts of any holiday is the opportunity to get together with friends and enjoy a delicious meal. From sweaters to mashed potatoes to scarves to pumpkin pie, the visual that Friendsgiving paints is like no other.


Here’s to eating and talking into the night–and having the perfect table set-up while doing it.


What are the essentials?


Here are a list of some essentials that might come in handy for any gathering:

  • Place mats

  • Candles

  • Centerpieces

  • Napkins


What kind of place mats?


Place mats are the perfect opportunity to complement your dishes with something simple yet elevating. Whether they’re circular or rectangular, a neutral fall themed place mat can be a great way to make your meal look professional.


Why candles?


Candles not only give you the opportunity to cozy up your space, but they also add a lovely scent to your dinner. For friendsgiving, there are tons of fall options–pumpkin, chai, vanilla–that will add to the warm atmosphere. 


There are different sizes of candles, as well: small candles that ensure ample lighting for everyone, while larger ones can truly pull a table together. Experiment with different styles to figure out what’s right for you?

What about centerpieces?


Centerpieces can often be the star of the show at gatherings, and Friendsgiving is no exception. A fall bouquet is a tasteful and on theme, and you’re sure to get lots of compliments from this addition!


P.S. If you’re a guest, bringing some fall-themed flowers can be a great way to add something unique to the table.


How do I choose napkins?


Whether you’re going for disposable napkins or reusable ones, there are plenty of fall-themed napkins to be found near you. If you’re thinking of going extra fancy, taking the time to match these with your place mats or centerpieces can be an easy way to pull your whole table together!


All in all...


These are a few opportunities for you to elevate your table for Friendsgiving. Not only will your presentation factor wow others, but it’s also a great way to get into the Friendsgiving spirit! Grateful for all life has to offer–wonderful friends, and pumpkin season.
