Someone’s bringing the stuffing. Someone’s bringing their famous pie. You’re making room for everyone.
The best Friendsgiving ideas make hosting feel easier and the table feel welcoming. From a carafe of fall sangria to dessert with friends, here are five ways to bring your Friendsgiving gathering together with Bormioli Rocco.
1. Start with Water, Make Everyone Welcome
Start with water on the table so everyone can settle in and help themselves. A Stria Carafe and matching water glasses make a coordinated set for plain water, lemon-infused water, or an alcohol-free favorite like apple cider.
Stria’s flowing blue accents add color to your Friendsgiving table setting, pairing easily with white plates and warm linens.
2. Mix Up a Sangria to Share
Once everyone’s settled, bring out a little fruity cheer. Fill a Romantic Carafe with chilled red wine, cranberry juice, and sliced apples and oranges for an easy fall sangria.
Its embossed pattern brings vintage charm, while the wide opening makes adding fruit easy and the handle keeps serving simple.
Hosting tip: Prepare and refrigerate the sangria ahead. Set out glasses and cocktail napkins beside the carafe so guests can help themselves while you finish dinner.
3. Let the Potluck Favorites Take Center Stage
Build your table around simple pieces that work with whatever everyone brings. White Alta Cucina plates provide a clean backdrop for roasted vegetables, turkey, and that second helping of mac and cheese. Their simple design keeps the food in focus and pairs easily with your favorite serving dishes.
Add Planeo White Wine Glasses for Chardonnay or Pinot Grigio. The clean, modern shape complements the colorful mix of serving dishes.
4. Raise a Glass to Your People
Before everyone digs in, make time for a quick toast. Celebrazione Flute Glasses bring a festive touch to Prosecco or nonalcoholic sparkling cider.
Hosting tip: Invite everyone to share one thing they’re thankful for. Short, sweet, and no speech required.
5. Save Room for Something Sweet
Turn dessert into a help-yourself finale. Layer pumpkin cheesecake filling and cookie crumbs in Exclusiva Rum Glasses for individual parfaits, or build a small apple-and-whipped-cream trifle in an Exclusiva Brillante Serving Bowl. The clear glass makes those layers part of the fun.
Hosting tip: Prepare chilled desserts ahead and refrigerate until serving so you can stay at the table a little longer.
Set out the glasses, leave room for another chair, and let everyone bring something to the table.
That’s Friendsgiving, Bormioli Rocco style.
