Friendsgiving sign-up sheet

Friendsgiving has no family traditions to follow, which is the fun of it, and also why nobody knows who is bringing the turkey. This list covers a proper feast, then lets everyone claim their part.

Tips for your Friendsgiving

Settle the turkey question first

Decide early whether you want a whole bird, turkey breast, or something else entirely. It shapes the rest of the menu.

Ask about diets before the menu is set

Friend groups often mix vegetarians, vegans and gluten-free eaters, so the list keeps a vegetarian main from the start.

Pick your day wisely

The weekend before Thanksgiving often works best, since many people travel for the holiday itself.

Plan for leftovers

Someone bringing takeout containers is a small job that everyone will thank them for.

Common questions

What do you bring to Friendsgiving?

Most people bring one dish to share, such as a side, a pie or a bottle of something. A shared list keeps it balanced.

How much food do I need for 10 people?

As a starting point, plan two mains, about four sides and two desserts. Everyone tends to overdo it, so you can trim from there.

Can friends suggest their own dish?

Yes. Each person can write in exactly what they are making when they sign up.
