Friendsgiving lunch

HOLIDAY, Partieskacee geoffroyComment

As I’ve gotten older I have grown to value my friedships so much! I have gathered quite a group of different ladies as my inner circle but man are they all crazy special to me in their own ways. I wanted to celebrate these girls with a Friendsgiving lunch.

After visiting Napa a couple months back, I’ve been in love with the easy breezy entertaining style of that area. I envisioned a menu full of Thanksgiving flavor but all family style. I wanted this lunch to be no fuss but still fall inspired. I chose a variety of flat breads and yummy mixed salads.

For our setting, I made soft blues and rustic tans my main pallet. I added foliage from my yard to give settle pops of color. A coastal feel always is my go to favorite so of course we added some of that ambiance with crisp white china and stripped napkins. My favorite fall accent was the sweet custom made maple leaf place cards from Delovely Designs. I think any custom element makes guests feel like you put in some extra love for them and it works as a great little party favor.




Friendsgiving Playdate

Friendsgiving playdate With the busiest of school schedules and the hustle of the holidays upon us, we decided to host a "Friendsgiving" playdate to take a moment and celebrate some of our special friends before Thanksgiving.  We adorned a mini picnic bench with fluffy burlap, the most precious straw woodland creatures, fluffy cotton and birch wood pillars.  We used galvanized tin pales filled with toppings for to decorate our carmel apples.

To catch all the our loose toppings and house or gooey carmel apple, we used paper trays to keep all our treats in one spot. Friendsgiving playdateFriendsgiving playdateLifeWithLipstick_FriendsGiving-4106Friendsgiving playdateFriendsgiving playdateLifeWithLipstick_FriendsGiving-4245

After we perfected our apples, the kiddos climbed trees, played duck duck goose and tag and found cloud formations.  We had so much fun watching them play and enjoy each others company.  Friendsgiving playdateFriendsgiving play dateFriendsgiving playdate
