Long-distance and first Thanksgiving together

  1. Our first Thanksgiving together. Thank you for being brave enough to meet my family.
  2. Miles apart, but you're at my table in every way that counts. Happy Thanksgiving, love.
  3. I'll save you a slice of pie and a spot on the couch. Counting down until I see you.
  4. Happy Thanksgiving from far away. Call me after dinner so I can hear your voice.
  5. Distance is hard, but loving you is easy. Thankful for you always.
  6. Here's to the first of many Thanksgivings together. I'm so glad it's you.
  7. Different tables this year, same heart. Happy Thanksgiving, babe.

Make it his. Mention the dish he always piles on his plate, the team he's watching or a moment from this year that made you fall harder. A wish sent early in the morning, before family chaos begins, feels especially sweet.

Frequently asked questions

What should I text my boyfriend on Thanksgiving?

Tell him he's on your gratitude list, for example "Happy Thanksgiving, babe. You're the first thing I'm thankful for." Add a detail about your year together to make it personal.

What do I say to my boyfriend for our first Thanksgiving together?

Thank him for sharing the day with you or for meeting your family, and say you hope it's the first of many. Keep it light if things are new and more heartfelt if you're serious.

Send a sweet text in the morning, schedule a video call during dessert and mail a card or small treat so it arrives that week. Sharing the same recipe from two kitchens is a fun touch.
