Thanksgiving Party Names

Thanksgiving is one of those times of year when everyone gathers around the table, eats way too much, laughs a little too loud, and maybe even falls asleep on the couch afterward.

Whether you’re hosting a cozy family dinner, a Friendsgiving party, or a big neighborhood potluck, giving your party a fun and memorable name is a perfect way to set the tone.

So, let’s talk about why naming your Thanksgiving party matters, and then I’ll share loads of creative, funny, and heartfelt ideas you can use.

Why You Should Name Your Thanksgiving Party

Giving your Thanksgiving party a name adds a little extra sparkle. It’s not just about being cute (though that’s definitely part of it). A name helps your event feel intentional like something special your guests will look forward to year after year.

If you’re hosting a family event, the right name can turn a regular dinner into a treasured tradition. For example, “The Johnson Family Feast” or “Turkey Time at Grandma’s” instantly gives it a cozy, memorable feel.

If it’s a Friendsgiving, a fun name like “Gravy Train Gathering” or “Pie Hard” can make your invites stand out and give everyone a laugh before they even show up.

And if you’re organizing something bigger a work party, church event, or community potluck a great name ties everything together and makes your flyers, invites, or social media posts that much more eye-catching.

Bottom line: naming your Thanksgiving party sets the mood. Whether you want something heartwarming, funny, or clever, it helps your celebration stand out in the best way.

How to Choose the Perfect Thanksgiving Party Name

With so many fun options, how do you decide? Here are a few quick tips to help narrow it down.

Think about your guests. Is your gathering more casual and funny, or sentimental and family-centered? Match your name to the vibe.
Consider your theme. If you’re going rustic, go with something cozy and traditional. If you’re planning a modern Friendsgiving, a witty or playful name works best.
Make it personal. Add your family name, the year, or a funny inside joke. For example, “The Johnson Gobble Fest 2025” or “Pie Hard 2: Leftovers Strike Back.”
Keep it easy to say. Simple, catchy names work great for invites and hashtags.

So whether you’re hosting a Friendsgiving full of laughter, a family dinner bursting with warmth, or a potluck that brings everyone together, pick a name that fits your vibe and run with it. And most importantly don’t forget the pie.
