Thanksgiving Table Decor Ideas
to Inspire You and Impress Your Guests
If your Thanksgiving dinner is
like the traditional American or Canadian feast, there probably
won't be much room on the table for a centerpiece. No need to fret.
Autumn's vibrant and earthy colors present wonderful opportunities to
adorn your Thanksgiving table with decor - without giving up prime
real estate reserved for the turkey and pumpkin pie!
* For a simple
and stunning look, make a path of leaves down the center of the
table. Accent with small pumpkins, gourds, berries, and flowers. (If
you can't find autumn leaves in your area, French cheese leaves will
work just as well!)
* Peruse your
closets for tablecloths, runners, place mats, or even sheets in
yellows, oranges, browns, and golds. Mix and match colorful fabrics
to cover tables, sideboards, and any other flat surfaces that might
host the holiday meal.
* Make
eye-catching napkin ties using rustic natural materials like raffia,
straw, or lemongrass.
* Wrap autumn
leaves around several small glass votives and tie in place with
raffia (use a different color of leaf for each votive). Scatter the
votives along your table runner.
* If you need
more room on the table, hang your decorations overhead. Just string
together vibrant orange, red, and yellow paper lanterns so they
dangle a couple feet above the dinner table.
* Write each
guest's name on a place card in gold metallic pen, then punch a hole
in the top right corner of each card. Use pretty ribbon to tie them
to the stems of pears or mini pumpkins and set one in front of each
guest's plate. (For a place card that doubles as a favor, use candles
in the shapes of fall fruits or vegetables.)
* Don't forget
about the kids' table! While the turkey's cooking, give the little
ones a supply of markers or crayons, construction paper, pipe
cleaners, mini pumpkins, and fall leaves. The kids will love creating
their own thanksgiving table decor - and the grown-ups will love
keeping them busy while they get dinner on the table!
