Friendsgiving is the ultimate opportunity to gather your favorite people and celebrate the season with warmth, gratitude, and—of course—an impeccably set table. A well-styled tablescape instantly sets the mood, and nothing creates that wow factor quite like the tabletop pieces from Joanna Buchanan. This year, let your Friendsgiving dinner feel just as special as a holiday feast, but with your own vibrant, joyful twist.
The foundation of any beautiful tablescape is the tablecloth, and a bold print makes an unforgettable statement. Start with a striking tablecloth—ours were even featured in The New York Times—that brings depth, pattern, and personality to your dining room. Whether you opt for something rich and autumnal or bright and unexpected, a strong base sets the tone for the entire setting and makes layering easy and impactful.
Once the table is dressed, it’s time to build in texture and shine. Chargers are the perfect way to anchor each place setting, giving structure and polish to the table. Pair them with colorful linen napkins for a playful contrast—Friendsgiving is the perfect occasion to experiment with color. A beautiful napkin not only adds a tactile layer but also brings a touch of softness and sophistication.
No Friendsgiving table is complete without the signature sparkle of Joanna Buchanan napkin rings. From elegant gold tones to whimsical seasonal motifs, each piece is handcrafted with intricate details like hand enameling and hand-set stones. Whether you choose snowflakes for a festive winter feel, palm trees for a playful nod to warmer days, or natural stones for organic elegance, these napkin rings make your table feel both personal and elevated.
For an extra touch of glamour, don’t forget the coasters. Elegant coasters protect your table while adding another layer of thoughtful design. Mixing textures—like metallic accents against bold prints—keeps the look dynamic and chic.
Of course, Friendsgiving isn’t just about the table; it’s about the celebration. A fabulous bar setup is a must. Sparkling cocktail picks are the perfect way to add a jewel-like touch to drinks, transforming even a simple cocktail into something festive and photo-worthy. Pair them with themed wine charms so guests can easily find their glasses and enjoy the night without losing track of their drinks. Elegant wine stoppers add the final flourish—functional, yes, but also incredibly beautiful.
Together, these bar accessories make guests feel cared for and create a warm, celebratory atmosphere. Setting up a self-serve bar with everything they need encourages mingling and makes entertaining easy for you, too.
The magic of Friendsgiving comes from the details: a bold tablecloth, a mix of color and texture, sparkling napkin rings, chic coasters, and a bar that shines. With Joanna Buchanan tabletop pieces, you can create a Friendsgiving tablescape that’s elevated but inviting, sophisticated yet full of joy. It’s the perfect way to make your guests feel special and to host a truly fabulous Friendsgiving meal they’ll remember for years to come.
