Product Information

Another fun FRIENDS-themed dessert option that doubles as pretty decor is the trifle that Rachel made in the Thanksgiving episode. If you want it to actually be eaten, however, you should probably leave out the beef, peas and onions. Meals are supplemented by 30 frozen meals donated weekly from COOK; extras are served up courtesy of local restaurants on board. Local restaurants including Sale e Pepe pizza and Samphire bistro (now open for bookings) have rallied to support the Community Dinner FundCREDIT: Samphire

The other classic FRIENDS intro symbol is the fountain they all play in during the “I’ll Be There For You” song. For my FRIENDS themed birthday party, I made a DIY Fountain Centerpiece to pay homage to it. The base is a glass floating candle dish, with a two sizes of margarita dishes hot glued on top. Then, I added faux hydrangea petals inside it to represent flowing water. Finally, I added more of the painted umbrella favors for a pop of fun FRIENDS color! 3 – FRIENDS Quotes Another way to incorporate the iconic FRIENDS umbrellas into a party is by turning them into a cake topper! For the FRIENDS themed birthday party I styled, I painted umbrella-shaped favor containers in more modern muted versions of the FRIENDS umbrella colors, and added the age of the guest of honor with letter board numbers. Whitstable is seen as affluent, and people love to visit – but hidden citizens struggle with social isolation and food poverty. A high rate of pupil premium is paid to local schools to support disadvantaged children,” says Anna Mantell, a former nurse and founder of Food Friends, a food sharing initiative set up 18 months ago to connect home cooks with neighbours in need of a nutritious meal and a friendly chat. In 2008, “Umbrella” won a Grammy for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration, and was nominated for Record of the Year and Song of the Year. It won two MTV Music Video awards in 2007, but was nominated for three. This song is number 412 on Rolling Stone’s 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. Rihanna comforts her lover by telling him she will be there for him, in good times and bad. The umbrella is a metaphor for her support.

It wasn’t cancelled, but I could have watched another 10 seasons of Friends. … and the show that should be cancelled Speaking of The One Where They All Turn Thirty, the Friends also create a cute Happy Birthday banner for Rachel in that episode that is very easily replicated. Just use white bulletin board paper and paint or markers to recreate the look of the banner, and replace Rachel’s name and age with the name and age of the birthday person! Adding a balloon garland around the banner is just a fun extra touch. I also used yellow frame props filled with photos of the guest of honor at my FRIENDS themed birthday party. This is a great way to honor both the show and the birthday girl at the same time!

Until then, the Fund is keeping in touch with residents facing difficultiesin the Kent seaside town to work out how best to support them through the pandemic. “We can all learn something from this time, and drive that into something positive,” says Mantell.

You can add popular FRIENDS quotes to wine glasses, pumpkins, letter boards, cushions, on photo booth props for people to use…quotes really bring the party to life. People will get a good laugh from remembering the funny lines, and you can turn it into a game of guessing which Friend said it in which episode!Through the scheme, customers at the Umbrella Café as well as Café Revival on the high street can buy a tea, cake or meal alongside their own for those in need. Another fun Phoebe-related party prop is a Taxi to represent her grandmother’s cab she inherited. You can either use a toy, or these cardboard favor boxes. They are an affordable alternative that can double as take home favors if you fill them with candy! If your party is in celebration of someone, give them a crown like Rachel’s in “The One Where They All Turn Thirty”. You can easily add tinsel to the bottom of a plain gold birthday crown, and then add purple gems around it to make it look just like hers. Since March 23, they’ve delivered over 3000 meals and 400 breakfast parcels to 163 regular beneficiaries identified through referrals from schools, health centres and charities. “The same volunteer delivers each time, forging a relationship, and ­befriending calls from our team of 15 volunteers provide a support network,” says Verney.

Visitors to Whitstable can also pay for an extra portion of fish and chips at V C Joneson top of their own for someone in need (recipients receive a code to redeem). The Community Dinner Fund project is currently set to run until September, after which it will continue to support its beneficiaries with the funds raised alongside the centre and café. I pretty much grew up with Friends.’ Photograph: NBC/NBC via Getty Images The show you wish had never been cancelledLost went on for too long. Lost got lost, in my opinion. It dragged us down a rabbit hole and then left us in the dark. There were so many unanswered questions. There was also a writers’ strike halfway through, so they were clutching at straws to get good storylines. But the premise never really developed. As a viewer, you get frustrated, and I stopped watching after a while. Your TV guilty pleasure

You can also place painted umbrellas on their own around your tables for more easy and cute FRIENDS themed decor. A customizable clapboard is a fun way to incorporate some of the behind the scenes action, as well as personalize the decor to the party. Use “The One Where….” phrase to describe your event, and have the host as the director! This doubles as a great photo booth prop as well. TIP: Don’t forget to put some plastic wrap or parchment paper between the painted topper and the cake, to keep it food safe.For a particularly easy and cost-effective decorating idea, use plastic cups! In the episode “The One Where Rachel Smokes”, Monica puts Phoebe in charge of cups and ice, and Phoebe says the quote, “Monica is going to rue the day that she put me in charge of cups and ice!” before decorating the entire apartment with plastic cups and serving up ice in all forms to guests. Plastic cups can be turned into garlands, stands, party hats – get creative! You don’t have to actually serve real pizza to pay homage to Joey’s favorite food. Put out some pizza boxes or cardboard pizza props. They make great additions to a FRIENDS-themed photo booth!
