Finger foods are the best part of any Friendsgiving party. They’re perfectly bite-sized, and no one judges you for eating half the tray yourself. If you’re hosting the party this year or need a dish to bring, these fancy Friendsgiving finger food ideas are perfect. 25+ Fancy Friendsgiving Finger Food Ideas on a Budget 1. Mini Beef Wellington Bites These mini beef Wellington bites are super fancy, but because they’re bite-sized, it won’t cost you a fortune to make these. You’ll need some prosciutto, dry red wine, shallots, mushrooms, puff pastry and a few other ingredients. Make sure you have a rolling pin and food processor, too. 2. Spinach Dip Bites These bite-sized treats are great for Friendsgiving. They look fancy, but they’re simple to make, thanks to the Crescent dough. You’ll also need frozen spinach, artichoke hearts, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, garlic and cream cheese. You can tweak this recipe if you want and use Gruyere cheese or even cheddar. 3. Garlic Shrimp Crostini with Avocado These garlic shrimp crostini will impress and delight your guests. Avocado is the perfect pair for shrimp, and the rest of the ingredients are so simple (just a few spices). You can easily make a vegetarian version of this dish by ditching the shrimp and topping it with porcini mushrooms.

Bacon-Wrapped Dates Bacon-wrapped dates are always a crowd-pleaser, and they’re the perfect finger food for a Friendsgiving gathering.

The dried apple slices are optional, but we definitely recommend adding them – they’ll take your presentation to the next level.

Caramelized Tomatoes and Sesame Seeds Here’s a unique finger food recipe that looks fancy and tastes delicious. These mini caramelized cherry tomatoes look like caramel apples, but they have more of a savory taste. PetitChef walks you through the steps of making your own caramel sauce (hint: it’s just sugar and water). Just dip each tomato into the sauce, then dip each one in sesame seeds.

This recipe uses a store-bought pie crust and a tasty mix of Gruyere and Swiss cheese. Bacon adds a savory flavor, but you can skip it if you want. Mushrooms would be a good substitute for texture and flavor. You may want to double this recipe if you want any leftovers after the party! 14. Fried Ricotta with Marinara Dipping Sauce This fried ricotta appetizer will please everyone. It’s easier than you think to make, especially if you have an air fryer. A 14-ounce container of ricotta cheese will make 20-25 ricotta balls, so it will be easy to feed a crowd on a budget. We recommend making your own marinara sauce for a special touch. 15. Chicken Cordon Bleu Bites Looking for unique Friendsgiving finger food ideas? Try these chicken cordon bleu bites. This dish is a little more involved, but it’s worth the effort. Use quality Swiss cheese and chicken for this recipe. 16. Steak and Crab Crostini What an amazing presentation in this Pin. You’ll love this appetizer with its mix of crab meat, steak and asparagus.

Avocado Goat Cheese Crostini Crostini are so easy to put together, yet people adore them because, let’s face it – they taste great. You’ll need a French baguette and then add on the avocado, spices, goat cheese and line. If you want to add a little “kick” to the recipe, a Jalapeno will do the trick. 18. Pepperoni Caprese Bites One of my favorite recipes on this list is also one of the easiest to put together. You’ll love the Mediterranean taste. And all you’ll need is cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, pepperoni and basil leaves. Drizzle some vinaigrette on the bites and keep them together with a toothpick. 19. Cheese Stuffed Endive with Pistachios and Mandarin What an interesting mix of flavors. You’ll love the crunchy pistachios, oranges, goat cheese and balsamic glaze. But you may have a hard time finding the Belgian endives – the rest of the ingredients are easy to source. And since this appetizer is light, it’s a good choice before a heavier meal. 20. Creamy Chicken Vol-au-Vent Friendsgiving finger food ideas can be satiating, and this recipe is the perfect example of that.

It can seem an uphill task when thinking about all you’ll need to do when preparing the guest list, meal and drink list, but with these Thanksgiving table decor ideas, you can be confident that your table will be the most festive tablescape any of your guests have seen this season! Here is a compiled list that suits any personality or design style. 15 Eye-Catching Thanksgiving Table Decor Ideas 1. Drawing the Eye In A stunning, yet simple wall to bring fall to your dining table is by adding a repeating pattern of tall pampas grass and candles. The various heights draw the eye in while the natural aspect from the grass is calming and festive and the candles smell of elegance. This dream tablescape is extremely easy to set up, so you’re just in luck! Additionally, the pampas grass and candles will be great to hold onto for other occasions and seasons as well – so it’s extra bang for your buck! 2. Upscale Pumpkin Patch Pumpkins are not just for Halloween, and this Thanksgiving table decor shows us exactly why! The rich colored velvet from the pumpkins (get them from Amazon here) adds an upscale touch that spreads the cheer for fall time. Placing and stacking the pumpkins on top of each other gives a wonderfully carefree, yet special feel to the tablescape. You might want to go the extra mile and add some touches of glue so the pumpkins stay perfectly in the spot you’d like them to be in! Related: 20 Insanely Stylish Thanksgiving Paper Plates 3. True Balance Greenery and orange beverage glasses really go hand in hand. A wonderful decor idea for any homeowner who loves a bright and uplifting feel for their Thanksgiving festivities!

For this Thanksgiving, let’s try fluted candle holders like these from Amazon that light up the table and the night for long conversations and extra servings of food. Muted orange tones and various sizing create a special ambiance that cues a memorable occasion.

Bring Out the Turkey Dim the lights, light your dinner candles and bring out the turkey! This is for the traditional home that wants their Thanksgiving dinner done right. Here’s how to achieve it: oversized candle holders like these from Amazon will be a great start. Once you’ve got about 4-7 of them, add a medium sized candle and nestle it in. Now comes the fun part! Begin dropping in nuts to fully surround the candle. Nuts like walnuts and acorns are usually associated with fall time. This is why it adds such a lovely touch to the candle holder. No more boring decor rocks – plus the color from the nuts bring a warmth and richness that will play off of the stuffing and turkey hues. 14. Completely Chic This tablescape is iconic to say the least. The chic look is sometimes difficult to achieve with Thanksgiving dining tables, but this one completely knocked it out of the park. A cake display holder takes on a new job with this decor idea. Placing large, flattened pumpkin leaves and a white pumpkin on top is the most opulent way to show off one of Thanksgiving’s best mascots (extra points for a curly stem on the pumpkin.) The dinner might have to start a minute later so guests can take photos of the table before digging in – that is how stunning this tablescape is! 15.
