Friendsgiving is Thanksgiving with fewer rules, so the colors can be more playful. These 12 palettes mix retro, moody and bright fall shades for potluck tables, group chat invites and photo-ready decor.

Thrifted mismatched
Inspired by mismatched vintage plates; relaxed and eclectic.

Send a themed invite
Use your palette on a simple digital invite or group chat graphic. Ask guests to bring a dish and, if you want, wear one color from the palette for a fun group photo.
Mix and match on purpose
Friendsgiving tables often use borrowed dishes. A palette with three or four colors helps mismatched plates, glasses and napkins look intentional instead of random.
Label the potluck
Make small food labels in your palette colors with each dish and who brought it. It looks cute, helps guests with allergies and ties the table together.
A Thanksgiving-style meal with friends, usually a potluck, held before or after the actual holiday. It's more casual and creative than a traditional family dinner.
