We do not have a dining room table yet so we used a folding table and miscellaneous chairs we had, as well as wood folding chairs. I purchased this tablecloth on Amazon and I love it because I can use it any time of the year. I also purchased these napkins for the place setting. The price is fantastic for a set of 12 and the quality is great. The plates are a set I found at Goodwill. They were originally purchased for my sister's graduation party, but glass is great for any occasion. The other dining details are vintage finds.
We used my bar cart to hold the punch bowl and cups. My bar cart is old from Target, however Walmart has a near identical one on sale found here. The punch bowl is also vintage, but I found these great cups hooks here. I also found the perfect matching ladle here. For drinking glasses we used these modern wine glasses and these ridged champagne glasses.
Typically for Friendsgiving since it is a little bigger than a typical dinner with friends, we ask everyone to bring one of their favorite Thanksgiving dishes over. For our dish we made a gluten free turkey dressing based from a family recipe. I did not take a picture of it, but it is my favorite Thanksgiving dish. We also found some fun cookies and desserts for everyone. For the main drink we made a cranberry punch. Here are the ingredients:
- Cranberry Juice Cocktail
- Ginger Ale
- Frozen Fresh Cranberries
- Dried Oranges (took around 3 hours to dry)
- Sugar (if needed depending upon preference)
For my Friendsgiving outfit I wore an old Banjanan dress, orangish-red toned lipstick, and a pair of old Tory Burch flats. We had so much fun and played board games after dinner.
