Frequently asked questions

How do you set up a Friendsgiving table?

Lay a long runner, give everyone a placemat, label each potluck dish and keep cutlery and napkins in one basket so people serve themselves.

How do you label potluck dishes?

Mini chalkboard signs on easels next to each dish work well, and you can wipe and reuse them.

What decor do you need for Friendsgiving?

Very little: a gauze runner, a few small pumpkins and a fall garland make a casual table feel festive.

How do you make Friendsgiving cleanup easier?

Use pre-wrapped disposable cutlery and keep a trash and recycling spot set up before dinner.
