Thanksgiving Day Parade Inspired Friendsgiving

This Thanksgiving Day Parade Inspired Friendsgiving post is sponsored by and created in partnership with Oriental Trading for their Fun365 site.
Although I am a contributor for Fun365 and was compensated to create this party, all of my opinions and thoughts are 100% my own. For more information, see my disclosures here.

Hi Friends! I have a super fun Friendsgiving idea to share with you all today. I recently partnered with Oriental Trading Fun365 on this NYC Thanksgiving Day Parade inspired Friendsgiving. This Friendsgiving is full of ideas and inspiration as well as a bunch of free printables so you can pull this celebration together in no time! I also think a lot of these ideas, like the large paper skyline and giant character balloons, could even be repurposed for a Thanksgiving kids table! 

In our family, one of our favorite Thanksgiving traditions is watching the Macy’s Day Parade on TV. Since this has been such a long-standing tradition in our home, I knew I wanted to create a celebration inspired by it! Everything about this party is fun and whimsical, ranging from the bold color palette, giant paper city skyline, and custom graphic designed printables, to the large character balloons flying high above the low pillow floor seating. It’s such a unique and playful take on the traditional Thanksgiving parade and will guarantee to be a great conversation starter!

To check out even more details and to see all of the products I used to create this celebration, head over to Fun365. Below are a few more of my favorite details from this Friendsgiving.

This Personalized New York City Subway Sign really brought the entire backdrop to life. You can edit the wording and date on Oriental Trading. It was so easy to do and I love how it turned out!

I absolutely love the look of these gold chargers under the red scalloped dinner plates. Then I added the “thankful” dessert plate on top to complete the look of this place setting.

All of the printables that I designed for this Friendsgiving are available for FREE on Fun365. They are the perfect way to quickly and easily tie your party together. Starting with the invitation, and all the way through to the party favors and leftover pie labels, these designs will make your party planning a breeze! Download all of the free printables here>> 

You can’t have a Friendsgiving without sending all of your guests home with treats and leftover pie! These Taxi Cab Favor Boxes were the perfect way bid farewell to our friends and give them some goodies “for the road”. They fit the theme so well! Also, pie is a must! I designed three custom free printable labels to fit on top of these White Pie Slice Boxes to add to the fun!

I hope you enjoyed our Friendsgiving celebration! If you use any of these ideas or designs, I’d love to see them! Please tag me on Instagram. I love connecting with all of you and seeing your awesome celebrations!

Happy Thanksgiving!PIN FOR LATER:
