Decorate Your Thanksgiving Table in Style
One of the joys of hosting Thanksgiving is that you get to decide who sits where at your dinner table. Wield this power in style by creating some customizable place cards so everyone will know where to sit. We have editable name cards to make it easy — just download, enter the names of your guests and print. We’ve also got ways you can use nature, like fallen leaves, acorns and pinecones to create cardholders and accents for your place cards. If you’re Thanksgiving setup includes a kids’ table, we’ve also got cute place card ideas that the kids can color and decorate. And as a bonus, some of our place cards can double as napkin rings and party favors. Browse through our ideas to find the perfect way to seat your guests.
First up: craft a fresh herb wreath. We love this classic banner design for a traditional-style table. As a setting for the banner, a 6" twig wreath (about $16 for 10) was wound with fresh rosemary and thyme. To make your own, download the editable banner template, type in your guests' names and print. Use a small pair of scissors to cut out the banner shape, then lay the banner across the wreath at each place setting.
