Frequently asked questions

What is a cute Thanksgiving text for a girlfriend?

Try "Happy Thanksgiving, beautiful. You're my favorite blessing this year." Short and sincere usually beats long and flowery.

What do you write in a Thanksgiving card for your girlfriend?

Name two or three specific things you're grateful for about her and end with how excited you are for the year ahead. A handwritten card feels more personal than a printed message.

Should I spend Thanksgiving with my girlfriend's family?

If you've been invited and you're both comfortable, it's a lovely step. Bring a host gift, offer to help clean up and thank her parents before you leave.
