DIY Thanksgiving Place Card Holders
If you’re feeling crafty, why not try making your own Thanksgiving place card holders? There are so many creative and easy DIY ideas out there, from using acorns and twine to crafting your own wire holders.
One simple idea is to use small, decorative pumpkins as your place card holders. Simply cut a small slit in the top of each pumpkin, write the guest’s name on a piece of cardstock, and attach it with a decorative pin.
You can also use natural materials like twigs or pinecones to create rustic-looking holders. Simply glue the materials together in a tripod shape, and slide your place card into the middle.
Thanksgiving Table Setting Ideas
Once you have your place cards sorted out, it’s time to think about the rest of your table setting. From centerpieces to napkins, there are so many ways to create a beautiful and inviting Thanksgiving table.
One classic centerpiece idea is to fill a large bowl or basket with autumnal fruits and vegetables, like apples, pears, squash, and pumpkins. You can also add in some dried leaves or flowers for an extra pop of color.
For a more modern look, try using metallic accents like gold or copper. You can spray paint pumpkins or pinecones in these colors, or use metallic votive holders or chargers to add some shine to your table.
When it comes to napkins, try using a mix of textures and colors for a layered look. You can also tie them with twine or ribbon and add a small sprig of greenery or a name tag.
