DECOR :: THANKSGIVING Table IDEAS

     

hey there little gobblers! =)

Can you believe Thanksgiving is so SOON!?? Crazy I know . . . 
I wanted to share with you, some last minute, EASY & fun ways to add little personal touches and IDEAS for your Thanksgiving gatherings! I hope you enjoy them! ;)


This collection that I used to show you some ideas is from my "Giving Thanks" collection & is available in my shop.

I LOVE to get my inspiration for designing when I am out shopping & that is exactly what happened when I came across this guy a couple years ago in one of my favorite stores: Pier 1. I personally do not use clip art in my designs, so I can ensure my clients they will have something no one else has, so I LOVED when I found him to use for the focal point of this collection - so off to drawing him digitally we went!

The before  . . . . . . . . . . . . & after, representin' in THE invite! ;)

One of the reasons I think I LOVED him was the colors - they are so rich & vibrant & made for some fun decor ideas!

Easy Decor IDEAS for Thanksgiving:

1. Placecards- simply personalize everyone's place setting - everyone knows where to sit & it always feels more 'formal'

or you can use these for food labels

2. Favors- pick up a little decor item to give to your guests as a little momento to remember this Thanksgiving. I picked up these little glittered pumpkins at Hobby Lobby for less than a dollar each & placed next to their placecards. 

3. Party Circles/Toppers- I love using these as they have SOOOOOO many uses so you can add just a "touch" to your table without it being 'too much'. 
These come on a sheet in a square shape - so you can use them square or simply use a punch to get them as a circle or scalloped with a scallop punch - whatever look you like! Use them as dessert toppers, favor tags, food decor, napkin ring accent or as drink markers - just use a hole punch, insert ribbon & tie around the stem of your cocktail. 

4. Touch of decor- adding touches of decor items can really add to the appearance of your table. Consider adding a feather to the place setting by the placing it in with the napkin/ flatware to add some flair to the table. Consider making napkin poms - I have made these for years & add them to almost EVERY party that I do because they are so durable & inexpensive - I just love the way they look, even sitting next to a place setting. Here I just added a topper I punched out for the center to give an added touch.

4. Giving THANKS cards- this is such a wonderful tradition or a great idea to start as a NEW tradition with your family. Plus it's a fabulous way for everyone to participate in your Thanksgiving celebration. Use these cards to have everyone write down what they are thankful for. And seriously?  . . .isn't this what Thanksgiving is really all about anyway? ;)

I hope you have picked up a few fun ideas to incorporate into your Thanksgiving table this year. I would LOVE to hear from you below. Please share any ideas that you have!

If anyone is interested in picking up this FUN Thanksgiving collection that I used to show you these ideas today, just shoot me an email me at & ask for the CODE. I have a SECRET code to get this collection for 50% OFF until Thanksgiving!! Just email me at laura@eyecandyeventdetails.com & ask for the CODE on the Giving THANKS collection & I will reply back with a 50% OFF code for you to get it in the shop!

ENJOY! xoxo

{THANKSGIVING} Table Decor IDEAS

  

Hello everyone, its Melissa again from My Party Passion.   I am so excited to share with you my Thanksgiving Dessert Table.  Using the Thanksgiving Party Printables from Laura’s Etsy Shop,  I was able to add the pop of color I needed to bring this table to life.   Perfect for our little blessings to feast on!

The color palette of tangerine, golden yellow and cranberry is the perfect combination for this collection. .  To enhance these candy corn tube favors, I added the printable circle tags.

To add some healthy yumminess to the table, I included these SeminaryMuffins (loving this new recipe)    One of my favorite elements of her Thanksgiving Party collection is the turkey. (I almost wish I had him in a stuffed plush!)

There are many other pieces to this collection. I invite to you hop on over to Laura’s Etsy shop and check out all this cuteness for yourself. 

Happy Thanksgiving and Be Blessed!
