20 Best Thanksgiving Greetings to Send Your Family and Friends During the Holiday
“The greatest gift in life is friendship. I’m so thankful for yours.”
Spending time with family, friends, and all of your loved ones on Thanksgiving is one of those heartwarming moments that makes you feel grateful year after year—with the joy spreading well throughout your Thanksgiving dinner and all of the Thanksgiving activities you and your crew have planned. While this is definitely something to look forward to, there may be people who you don't get to see on the beloved holiday. So, we created a list of Thanksgiving messages and greetings to share the cheer with everyone you love!
Whether you're looking for something to text your best friends or need a quick Thanksgiving quote to email to a colleague, there's something for every relationship here. In fact, some of these greetings are so beautiful, they could very well double as a Thanksgiving Instagram caption—or even a full toast at this year's Thanksgiving event. This particularly sweet greeting comes to mind: "Thankful is what I feel every single time I think of you. Happy Thanksgiving."
Yes, a lot of these will make you feel sentimental—but there are also options that you can send to your close friends. "The greatest gift in life is friendship. I’m so thankful for yours," reads one of our favorites or another that says, "May the warmth of the harvest fill your heart this season."
