Thanksgiving Table Ideas to Make Your Holiday Memorable

Will you be the host of Thanksgiving dinner this year, or the guest?  Either way, I have some unique ideas to share with you today to make your Thanksgiving table memorable. 

I love this first idea because it is both fun and meaningful.  It's great to have at the table if you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner, but it also makes an impressive gift for the host if you're a guest!  

THANKSGIVING DINNER CONVERSATION CARDS

These Thanksgiving Dinner Conversation Cards are so much fun to use to spark conversation around the table.

There are 54 question cards in the deck, and they come with a plastic case.

I made this deck using a Heritage Makers template, but I adjusted a few things to my taste before submitting for publishing.  I ordered a few of these decks (as shown here) to sell at a craft fair I did last year.  These are SO FUN.  And darling.  

2023 UPDATE:  Heritage Makers became YPhoto under Youngevity (which purchased Heritage Makers in 2013).  YPhoto uses only templates, so the creativity showcased here is no longer available there. Best-in-the-industry quality and permanent cloud photo storage with guaranteed privacy are required for anything recommended here by Photo & Story Treasures, so we highly recommend Forever.  

Using Forever's Artisan program for digital scrapbooking, you can make items similar to those shown here.  This video tutorial shows you how to craft with high-quality scrapbook pages, and this one shows you how to use Artisan to create something unique and then print at home (for instances in which you need thinner paper, sticker paper, etc.)  You can see just a few examples of crafting I've done using Artisan here.

Another fun idea for Thanksgiving table decor using Heritage Makers is "napkin rings" and matching place cards.  And, yes, I have "napkin rings" in quotes for a reason--this is clever!

"GIVE THANKS" PLACE CARDS

First, let me show you the place cards.  These are made from business cards, so they come in a pack of 50.  They're double-sided, so everyone at the table sees Give Thanks while the person at the seat sees his/her own name.  

I have 1 set of these left from my craft fair, too, although I split them up and sold them in sets of 25.  If you'd like to skip all the steps and just have them shipped to you, it's $4 + shipping, so just {contact me} and I'll get them on their way to you.  Aren't these cute?  And you can do "napkin rings" to match!

"GIVE THANKS" NAPKIN RINGS (LABELS)

The napkin rings aren't rings--they're stickers!  Address labels, to be specific.  Address labels come in a set of 54. Just roll up paper napkins and wrap the sticker around it.  So cute.

Although, if I did it again, I would choose plain colored napkins.  The design is a bit distracting, and you can't even see what it is when it's all rolled up.

See??  It's just address labels.  So clever. 

I love the fun things I can do to make my Thanksgiving table unique, and I love what a special gift I can give to the host as a guest.  Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, so this is a great time to do one or all of these neat ideas.

Pin me!  Save and share.
