Who? What? When? Where? Why?
Step 1: Make a list of who you definitely want to be apart of this festive event! This will then help you figure where to host, and how much food to have.
Step 2: Decide on the time and place. Brunch? Lunch? Turkey Dinner? Or Just appetizers and desserts? The choice is yours and there are sooo many options. I personally am a fan of brunch (yes I’m basic) mostly because there’s no way I will be cooking an entire turkey dinner for my friends (love you guys! ;)), but I WILL be making pumpkin waffles!!
Step 3: Get working on your invitations!! Of course a simple group message would suffice, but imagine how impressed you’d be if you were to receive an adorably hand made fall-themed invitation or even an evite! The little things make such a difference!! Be as festive as you can, it’s way more fun and exciting!
Step 3: Fooooooooood!
If you have taken on the time-consuming project of cooking a meal (in addition to putting together appetizers & sides, making apple cider themed drinks, and don’t forget the pies!) you are a saint, and I have provided a few favorite links to some yummy thanksgiving treats that are delicious and festive, that are sure to impress your friends-giving guests :)

Step 4: DECOR DECOR DECOR!! Time to get crafty! How you dress your friends-giving (dining room) table is what makes your friends-giving complete, don’t opt out of the festive decor, just don’t. I have liked below some simple dining set ups and DIY decorations you and your friends will love! Do it for the VSCO!
Follow these steps and you’ll be the hostest with the mostest that all your friends will be talking about!
I wish all of you a successful Friends-giving!!
