Thanksgiving is a holiday out of the year that families take the time to sit down and converse over good food & family traditions. I believe simple & elegant additions to the dinner table can have a beautiful & festive impact. I am always the one elected to set the Thanksgiving Table in my family. I have acquired some tips throughout the years to make a great impact on your table at home, that uses your time wisely, and won’t break the budget:1. Start with a pressed and clean table cloth that fits the table. Some favorites of mine are ivory, burnt orange, or burgundy.
2. Centerpiece: If a small floral arrangement is not in the plan there are things you can do. Two candle sticks may do the trick, or simple votive candles can be just as elegant.
3. Set place cards out on the table. This is a great way to choose for your guests where they will sit, and avoid uncomfortable family situations- if there may be!
4. Last but not least remember napkins! A nice way to present them on the table is in a nice fold right on the plate or charger. Or if you want to get fancy a tuxedo fold is always great if you decide to have menu cards.
Oh! And don’t forget the kids table. A small coloring book and crayons is a great way to keep those kiddos occupied!
TIP: Set the table the night before so that is one less things you have to do in the morning while preparing everything else.
Have a happy & stress free thanksgiving!
