20 DIY Thanksgiving Place Card Ideas

When you are decorating for Thanksgiving it doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It’s a lovely time of year to be thankful for everything in your life. Here are a few tips to have your Thanksgiving table gorgeous for the big event.

• Add charm with a table runner – Place a festive table runner to your décor. It will get the dining table all ready for dinner.
• Use a centerpiece – Don’t be afraid to make or buy a pre-made centerpiece. They add so much style and grace to your décor.
• Set the table before guests arrive – It will look so inviting when your guests arrive. Add dinner plates, place cards, and silverware.
• Use cloth or paper napkins – I love the look and feel of cloth napkins and I have a feeling you will too. If you don’t have any, you can also use some nice paper ones (I recommend looking for linen-feel paper napkins).
