I am SOOOOO excited to be back with our THIRD annual Friendsgiving bash – can you believe it?! This is one of my most favorite traditions on BFFF. One of my all-time favorite parts of the holidays is creatingย a jaw-dropping tablescape. From planning the menu to curating special pieces to incorporate into the design, I love the whole entire process.ย 

So I got the party started early as I wanted to do a quickย trial run of my table dรฉcor aย few weeks beforehand…Mostly because I canโ€™t wait to decorate but also to hopefully inspire some of you as you start planning your own holiday tablescapes. I have to admit; our content usually takes a few weeks to saturate on Pinterest before it goes viral. The more people we reach, the more we are doing our job successfully! ;) We all have a little Martha Stewart in us, right?! ;)ย 

In the past, I’ve always made everything from scratch, which took forever. I always felt that I wasn’t present in the moment by the time friends arrived and the feasting began. I was so exhausted from recipe developing, shopping, dishes, cooking, and the whole 9 yards. So, this year we did something a liiiiiittle different. Instead of spending 10 hours in the kitchen like last year, I took some flavorful shortcuts.

How I put together this tablescape in a few hours

I can wholeheartedly tell you this was the easiest and best Friendsigving we’ve celebrated to date! Cheers to adding More Merry, and Less Shopping Time, to Your Holidays!

    I absolutely love this latest Best Friends for Frosting post. You killed it, Melissa!

    I was so wrong about your branding and “pink”. I have loved the “pink” in posts!!!

    What I have loved the most about your posts are the pictures that include you – my beautiful niece, Melissa, in them!!

    I love you,
