Can you believe that Thanksgiving is a week away!? It is my FAVorite holiday! Holiday's are big events as well. Especially when you have all of your family gathering on one day... it can be a long day but packed with memories, good laughs and delicious food!
The table...this is the most important spot to decorate for Thanksgiving or any fall event. Plus I think Fall is such a great time of year to decorate - you can really use all sorts of natural elements and your table will pop.
We have a large family for the holidays so every year we try and put some name tags down just so we don’t leave anyone out. Check out these cute ideas!
Fabric leaf cut outs held together with ribbon and their name...
I adore these Crate & Barrel leaves....I use them in my house every fall to decorate my bay window and they look real (without the mess)!
Center Stage
I don't think the table décor needs to take away from the meal either. So I would recommend keeping it simple. A large bowl full of gourds, multiple size/color pumpkins with leaves scattered and a few candles, and many more options.
This is elegant enough to be a wedding or shower centerpiece too. Love it!
If you have some containers at home use some items to fill them for extra color. Fresh cranberries, acorns, nuts, beans and corn. Or you can be creative with your vegetables and put your candles inside of them… artichokes, wrap green beans around the candle or asparagus…you can really make a nice harvest look with fresh items on hand.
Don’t forget Thanksgiving is a time to remember what we are most thankful for. In the past we have made everyone say what they are thankful for (without anyone repeating what another said) prior to dinner. Or you can have everyone write it down and hang it on a branch or a little tree.
Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!!
