I loooove this time of year! It can sometimes feel like I don’t see my friends and family until the holidays, when getting together with all my loved ones suddenly happens all the time. This year, I put together a little Friendsgiving dinner party, but instead of making it a big production for a group of 20 — I kept it small and intimate and easy! Just because its the holidays, doesn't mean you need to drive yourself insane with extravagant get togethers.

I put together a simple autumnal table and menu for our dinner — and I made three easy appetizers (easy as in they all take less than 20 minutes!), and I’m sharing the recipes for all of them on my blog today.

If you’re attending a Friendsgiving or Thanksgiving, and you're bringing a bottle of wine — I designed this cute, printable Thanksgiving wine tag to gift your host with! And if you’re the one hosting, you can still use it and gift your guests a bottle as a favor (and keep the leftovers for yourself instead, because thanksgiving sandwiches!).

To use, print on standard 8.5 x 11” thick card stock (you can use regular copy paper but they’ll be really flimsy), cut out each label along the lines. Cut a small slit in the center of the circle to help you cut out the hole. Gently bend and fold a crease to hang comfortably on your bottle.
