What You Can Add to a Friendsgiving Invitation

Friendsgiving is casual, but the details still matter. Put them in one place so nobody has to scroll back through the chat.

  • Your own media: upload a photo from last year’s Friendsgiving or a short clip of the table.
  • Music or sound: import audio, like the playlist you’ll have on that night.
  • A voice message: hold to record a quick “please bring ice” from the host.
  • RSVP tracking: see who answered Going, Can’t make it or Maybe, and ask for party size so you know who is bringing a plus-one.
  • WhatsApp or SMS sharing: one link for every guest, wherever they are.
  • 19 app languages: including Spanish, for families and friends who celebrate in more than one language.

Plan the potluck

When to send a Friendsgiving invitation and what to include

  • When to send it

    Two to three weeks ahead is usually enough. Many friends travel for Thanksgiving, so pick a date a weekend before or after, and send the invitation early if it falls in that busy week.

  • The dish plan

    Say what the host is making, usually the main dish, and ask guests to bring a side, a dessert or drinks. Ask them to reply in the chat with their dish so you don’t end up with five pies.

  • Allergies and diets

    Ask guests to share allergies or dietary needs, and suggest labeling dishes.

  • Plus-ones and pets

    Say whether partners, roommates or dogs are welcome. Party size in the RSVP tells you how many chairs you really need.

Wording ideas

Short Friendsgiving invitation wording you can adapt

  • Classic potluck

    “Friendsgiving is on! We’re making the turkey, you bring a side or a dessert. Saturday, November 22 at 6 pm.”

  • Cozy night in

    “Sweatpants welcome. Pie, wine and our favorite people, Friday at 7. Tell us what you’re bringing.”

  • Small dinner

    “A small table, a big thank you. Join us for Friendsgiving dinner, Sunday at 5 pm. Plus-ones welcome.”

  • After the holiday

    “Leftovers Friendsgiving: bring whatever’s left from Thursday and let’s eat it together, Saturday at 2 pm.”
