2. Wine cork place card holders to get everybody seated

The last thing you want is everybody fighting over a seat when it comes time to sit down and eat. Put your guests in their own assigned seats at the dinner table with these cute wine cork place card holders from Mojo Makery’s Etsy shop. You probably know your friends best, and sometimes it’s better for some of them to be seated on the opposite sides of the table!

3. Hang a funny banner

What party is complete without having a banner up somewhere? Friendsgiving is an opportunity for some more lighthearted fun that usually involves a little adult humor. That means you can have a laugh with some of your Friendsgiving decor ideas!

Check out this “Let’s Get Basted” banner from Amazon that’ll spark quite a few jokes. Or this slightly more vulgar one that will catch your friends off guard. Either way, they’re in the spirit of celebrating getting together with your best pals.

4. Decorate for your group’s favorite sports team

Friendsgiving falls squarely in the middle of football season! Chances are that when you’re getting together for your party, there’ll be a game on in the background. Show your support for your team and put up all the banners and jerseys you can find.

If you need inspiration, this incredible man cave hang-out space in Navarre, OH has lounge space and a golf simulator that would be the star of any Friendsgiving dinner. There are so many more beautiful properties and venues just like this available on Peerspace so see what you can find in your area!

5. Raise the stakes of your party games with silly turkey hats

Your friend group probably doesn’t need more reasons to get competitive while you play your party games. But, that shouldn’t stop you from getting these goofy plush turkey hats from Amazon. While prizes for the winners are always a good idea, punishments for the loser always tend to be more fun. Set up your favorite board game and find out who the real turkey of your group is!

6. Set up fall decorations to set the mood

Don’t think your friends won’t notice if you slack on the decorations this year. Make sure you’re well prepared for all of your fall decorations with some quick and effective options from Party City. This set of 12 fake gourds will only cost you six bucks, and these fall leaves string lights will bring the warm glow of the season right into your living room.

7. Enjoy your seasonal sips with a Thanksgiving straw

When you get together with friends, there’s bound to be some adult beverages being enjoyed. To turn your drinks into fun Friendsgiving decor ideas, try out these cute Thanksgiving dinner straws from Amazon. They’re made out of paper, so you’ll be doing the planet a favor while you have a drink through these adorably decorated straws.

8. Friendsgiving photo booth props

The most tried and true way to get everybody to take goofy pictures is by having them all squeeze together in a photo booth! And if you’re having a Friendsgiving party, you’re going to want the right props. These cute Friendsgiving props from Amazon have everything you need to get those pictures coming out just right.

Don’t have a photo booth at home? Neither do we, but Peerspace has plenty of amazing properties that do. This beautiful urban studio space in Farmers Branch, TX already has a photo booth set up – all you need to do is bring the props and smiling faces.

Check out this helpful review from a Peerspace user who booked a graduation dinner here: “The space was beautiful — just as described on post. Lolita was extremely communicative and thorough throughout the entire process. I also rented the Photo Booth as an add-on and I’m glad I did! Would definitely use this space again.”

9. Send your guests home with goodie bags

Wayfair has these Friendsgiving favor bags that are totally unique. The quality cotton canvas pouches have plenty of room for something that’ll leave your friends thinking about your party long after they leave.

10. Escape to somewhere tropical with your decorations

With the weather starting to cool off quite a bit during the holiday season, why not let your Friendsgiving decor ideas warm you up? Everybody loves a tiki bar party, so have your friends get dressed in your favorite summer gear and sip on some fruity mixed drinks!

If you don’t want to go through the trouble of setting up your own decorations, check out what you can find with Peerspace. This quirky mid-century home tiki bar in the Atlanta area would provide a totally unique and memorable Friendsgiving.

“I loved the Tiki Bar and pool,” shares a Peerspace reviewer of this Atlanta-area Peerspace. “We had about 14 people over for a pool party and had a terrific time. Bret is so helpful and easy to communicate with. The decor and pool are even cuter than pictured.”

11. Embrace your inner child with a pinata

There’s nothing better as a kid than swinging hard at a pinata and watching candy go flying.
