PUMPKIN CENTERPIECES + (2015) FRIENDSGIVING INVITATION

I am pulling two posts that I wrote last fall to share with you today. It's that time of year to decorate for all things fall, and to start planning for Friendsgiving, if you are hosting! I shared all about hosting as a young wife, and you can read those posts, here.

Last year I decided to make our fall centerpieces for Friendsgiving. I ended up liking them so much that I left them out until it was time to decorate for Christmas. They were really simple to make, and fit perfectly on our tables.
You can find the supplies that you'll need and step by step directions (with pictures) on how to make these centerpieces, here!

Next up is the invitation that I designed for Friendsgiving last year. I went with the Friends theme and they were a hit with all of our guests, especially my sister, who is obsessed with the show. ;)
I designed the invitation in PicMonkey and printed them out at home to mail to all of our guests.

I have already started picking up some things for Friendsgiving this year, and I am getting very excited. I designed the invitation for this year a few weeks ago, and I will be sharing it next week, so stay tuned! 

Are any of you hosting Friendsgiving or even Thanksgiving this year? I would love to hear about it!

FRIENDSGIVING 2015

Friendsgiving was a huge success and we are already excited about hosting again next year! I took a lot of pictures so get ready for a photo dump.


First some pictures of our Friendsgiving day with everyone!

My sister got there early to help with anything and I was so thankful she was there!

This sweet man also helped with anything I needed. He kept coming in the kitchen to check and see if he needed to do anything. So sweet! :) 

We finally got a good group picture! It took a few tries as the guys kept being goofy lol but it made for some hilarious pictures. Also, the two in orange didn't just break out of prison, they were decked out for the UT game lol.



I saw a couple of Friendsgiving snaps and got really excited!



And now pictures of the table setup! I searched Pinterest for a few weeks on what I wanted to do. I wanted to stay within budget, but still come up with something cute. I used a lot of stuff I already had and spent very little on the things I needed to pick up for the centerpieces/place card settings. 








I dug out some plates I had collected for our wedding and used. I think I have decided on keeping these for special occasions because I just love them so much. The gold detailing on them make me so happy!

And that's about it! I'll share how I made the centerpieces/place card settings tomorrow.
