30 Best Thanksgiving Greetings That Will Express Your Gratitude and Love
“May the warmth of the harvest fill your heart this season.” 🧡
There's nothing like the feeling of being surrounded by your loved ones on Thanksgiving, reminiscing on the sweet memories you've made in the past year. Plus, the joy we get eating that impossibly delicious Thanksgiving menu is unmatched (to say the least). And the fact that you'll partake in your yearly Thanksgiving traditions once more is probably enough to make you feel grateful! But before the holiday arrives, you might want to figure out a way to express this feeling to others! So, go ahead and read through our list of Thanksgiving greetings—there's sure to be one you'll send out this year!
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."
