Greenvelope offers artist-designed Thanksgiving and Friendsgiving invitation templates that you can personalize online and send by email or text in supported countries, with built-in RSVP tracking. For a family Thanksgiving dinner, start with Thanksgiving Spread or Classic Maple Leaf. For a Friendsgiving, start with Friendsgiving or Turkey and Toasts. For a potluck, start with Thanksgiving Potluck or Give Thanks Pumpkins.
Each template below is a finished design rather than a blank layout: you replace the sample wording with your own details, choose from the colorways the artist offers, and send it as a digital invitation. Guests can open it on a phone, tablet, or computer and RSVP without creating an account. You can include an animated envelope, and the invitation experience is ad-free. The twelve designs are grouped four to a section: Thanksgiving dinner, Friendsgiving, and potluck or casual.
About the images: each shows one sample colorway with sample wording. Foil, die-cut, and deckle-edge effects are digital, not printed finishes.

Thanksgiving Dinner Invitation Templates
For a family Thanksgiving dinner, Greenvelope's dinner templates range from an illustrated holiday table to a single maple leaf.
1. Thanksgiving Spread: An illustrated holiday table
Thanksgiving Spread by Jamie Alexander.
A gouache illustration of a full Thanksgiving table, with turkey, gravy, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, and pumpkin pie, runs down a floral table runner. Jamie Alexander puts the invitation wording on the back of the card, so the front stays all food, and offers it in creme, green, purple, and blue.
Make it your own: Use the back of the card for arrival time, dinner time, and what to bring. Kapakana and Baskerville are editable.
2. Timeless Turkey: A vintage die-cut turkey
Timeless Turkey by Signature Greenvelope.
A die-cut turkey carries classic script and a foil texture, a digital effect rather than a printed finish. Signature Greenvelope describes it as a vintage design for a Thanksgiving dinner or family gathering, and offers it in red, orange, green, purple, and grey.
Make it your own: Keep the wording to the event name, date, time, and reply line so it fits inside the turkey shape. Tagesschrift is editable.
3. Rustic Dinner: Watercolor food and a deckle edge
Rustic Dinner by frau brandt.
Watercolor and ink illustrations of pie, pumpkin, and other harvest food frame the wording, and a deckle edge adds a handmade look, rendered digitally. frau brandt offers it in yellow and creme.
Make it your own: Put the host's name on its own line under the title. Northwell and Work Sans are editable.
4. Classic Maple Leaf: A simple, formal fall card
Classic Maple Leaf by Jen Montgomery.
A single line-drawn maple leaf sits above classic serif lettering inside a thin border. Jen Montgomery describes it as suited to Thanksgiving dinners and fall corporate events, and offers it in creme, red, blue, and grey. We like it for an understated dinner invitation.
Make it your own: A formal line such as "You are invited to our Thanksgiving dinner" suits it. Mrs Saint Delafield and Times New Roman are editable.
Friendsgiving Invitation Templates
For a Friendsgiving, Greenvelope's Friendsgiving templates put the word on the card itself or lean into the friends-around-a-table mood. Three are made for Friendsgiving by name, and Turkey and Toasts is described for a Friendsgiving or a family feast.
5. Friendsgiving: Bold lettering and a cornucopia
Friendsgiving by Jen Montgomery.
Playful lettering in fall colors spells out Friendsgiving above a line-drawn cornucopia. Jen Montgomery offers it in orange, red, green, and blue, and the sample shows it set up for a potluck.
Make it your own: Use the line under the headline for the format, such as Potluck or Dinner. Adorn Slab Serif, Function Pro Book, and Look Script are editable.
6. A Friendsgiving Feast: Lettering on a place setting
A Friendsgiving Feast by Laura Bolter Design.
Flourished hand lettering sits on a dinner plate in a place setting, with a fork and knife on a leaf-patterned holiday tablecloth. Laura Bolter Design offers it in a single brown colorway.
Make it your own: Its landscape layout leaves room for a short what-to-bring line under the date. Arial, Zilla Slab, and Look Script are editable.
7. Friendsgiving Pumpkins: A grid of pumpkins and squash
Friendsgiving Pumpkins by Loree Mayer Design.
Rows of illustrated pumpkins and squash in different varieties fill a brown card under Friendsgiving lettering. Loree Mayer Design offers it in a single brown colorway.
Make it your own: The sample gives happy hour and dinner separate times, a useful pattern for any Friendsgiving. Futura is editable.
8. Turkey and Toasts: A turkey raising a glass
Turkey and Toasts by Signature Greenvelope.
An illustrated turkey raises a glass of wine under hand-lettered "turkey and toasts" in a rounded frame. Signature Greenvelope describes it as made for a cozy Friendsgiving or a family feast, and offers six colorways: creme, brown, green, purple, pink, and blue.
Make it your own: Add "please bring a dish to share" at the bottom if it is a potluck. Copse and Beth Ellen are editable.
Thanksgiving Potluck and Casual Invitation Templates
For a potluck or a relaxed feast, Greenvelope's casual templates use pumpkins, sweatpants, and big type to tell guests this is not a formal dinner. Two are described for potlucks, and two are built around a joke.
9. Thanksgiving Potluck: A pumpkin that carries the title
Thanksgiving Potluck by Becky Nimoy Stationery.
A large illustrated pumpkin carries the event title above a roast turkey and a pumpkin pie. Becky Nimoy Stationery offers it in orange, creme, and green, and the sample uses the lower lines for a bring-your-own-utensils note and a reply date.
Make it your own: Tell guests to name their dish when they reply. Quicksand Book and Stars & Love are editable.
10. Give Thanks Pumpkins: Hand-drawn pumpkins and leaves
Give Thanks Pumpkins by Anna K Design.
Hand-drawn pumpkins, gourds, and leaves surround hand-lettered "give thanks." Anna K Design describes it as a potluck dinner invitation and offers it in creme, black, and yellow, with a matching thank you note.
Make it your own: Keep the potluck instructions to one line. Baskerville is editable.
11. Stretchy Pants: A humorous card for a casual feast
Stretchy Pants by Holly Whitcomb.
An illustrated pair of sweatpants, lettered "stretchy pants," sets a relaxed tone. Holly Whitcomb offers it in orange, yellow, red, green, and brown.
Make it your own: Let the card make the joke and keep the details plain. Outfit is editable.
12. Gobble 'Til You Wobble: Big, playful type
Gobble 'Til You Wobble by Jen Montgomery.
Large, quirky type in orange, yellow, and gray fills the card, and Jen Montgomery describes a wobbly turkey as part of the design. It comes in creme, orange, grey, and yellow.
Make it your own: The headline does the work, so a short invitation line below it is enough. Adorn Slab Serif, Look Script, and Veneer Two are editable.

Our comparison of the best dinner party invitation platforms covers how the sending services differ on RSVPs, reminders, and cost.
How to Personalize and Send a Digital Thanksgiving Invitation
Greenvelope lets you personalize editable wording, fonts, and text placement, and choose from the preset colorways available for your selected design. Customization options vary by design. Lettering drawn into the artwork stays as designed; for changes to the card face itself, such as a color change, Greenvelope offers optional paid custom design services.
Whatever the design, include the host, the date, the arrival and dinner times, the address, who is invited, what to bring, and a reply date. For a potluck, add one line that says what you are covering and what guests should bring, such as "We have the turkey; please bring a side that serves about eight." Our dinner party invitation wording guide has complete examples for seated dinners.
Guests answer yes or no on the invitation, and you can add custom questions to the RSVP, such as a write-in question like "If you plan to attend, what dish will you or your household bring?" Questions appear after guests select an RSVP response, so review the answers and follow up if you need to coordinate dishes. Responses collect on your guest list, and you can send or schedule RSVP reminder emails to guests who have not replied. For phone-only guests, use the Message Center on a paid account to send a text in supported countries, or send a personal text asking them to reply on the invitation.
Before sending or scheduling, preview the invitation, send yourself a test, read it on a phone, confirm the guest list and reply-to address, and test the links and calendar details. You can send by email or by text message in supported countries. In the Send step, Send Invitations sends right away to the contacts you select, while Schedule Send sends at your chosen date and time to all unsent contacts, including contacts added after scheduling. You can edit the card for up to five months after sending, and existing invitation links display the updated card. If the date, time, or location changes, also message guests directly.
For a U.S. Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving gathering, aim to send invitations 4 to 6 weeks ahead, as for other holiday-season parties. If you are sending later than that, send as soon as you can and keep the reply window short. Set the reply date a few days before the earliest final-count deadline if you have a caterer or venue, or early enough to follow up before you shop if you are cooking. Our timing guide has every window.
Designs are included with the mailing: single mailings start at $19 for a guest list of up to 20 people, with pricing based on list size and no subscription required. Paid accounts start with 500 text messages, with more available to purchase. Our guide to what Greenvelope costs covers every plan, and a trial send to up to 10 people needs no credit card.
