Thanksgiving Decor

I'm heading off early today to spend Thanksgiving with my boyfriend and his family, so I may miss a post or two this week. For those of you in need of some Thanksgiving decorating inspiration, I've selected a few of my favorites to share with you.

Simple easy and chic. This set up would work well for a buffet as well as shown below.

A buffet style setting frees up table space for vases and other decor. Remember, the first rule of centerpieces is that they not be so tall that guests can't see over them.

So simple. Just a couple of vases of flowers, maybe a pile of squash on a cake pedestal. Et voila, instant class.

Fill a bowl or a basket with shiny pears or a mix of pears and apples. Add some gold painted leaves as a final touch.

Keep the kids busy by having them cut out leaf shapes and glue to cards for use as place cards.

Or have them cut out turkey shapes. Have the kids ask guests what they are thankful for and have the older kids write the answers down on the tail feathers to be read later during dinner. For more fun, have everyone try to guess who said what.

This is a great casual setting, and you'll guarantee that everyone's faces will be glowing even if the turkey is dry and the mashed potatoes are lumpy. :)

Enjoy!
