A beautifully set Thanksgiving table reflects nature's bounty and is a warm and welcoming site for friends and family alike. Add your own personal touch to the Thanksgiving table settings this holiday season to add warmth and anticipation to the feast table. Choose a traditional rustic, fall color palette featuring colors like brick reds, mustard yellows and warm oranges to set the tone for your personalized table decor. Instead of tablecloths, consider using burlap table runner as a rustic accent. The natural color of burlap blends well with the fall color theme for the Thanksgiving table settings. You can also use this table runner as a canvas for special Thanksgiving quotes. Use a bronze or gold ink marker to write special festive messages like 'Gratitude, 'Love', 'Give Thanks' and 'Family' in an elegant cursive script to create your own personalized table runners. Organize your Thanksgiving entertaining essentials like beautifully painted dinnerware and exquisite glassware on your holiday table and highlight them with personalized place cards. Use faux fall leaves to write names of each of your guests and create attractive festive place cards. You can also hand-print the names in pieces of burlap in metallic ink to create a gorgeous contrast to the tableware in earth tones. Personalized centerpieces are a great Thanksgiving entertaining idea and will leave each one of your guests with fond memories of the feast. Thanksgiving is a great time to learn about family history and to share stories of our ancestors. Ask your guests to bring old family photographs and pictures that are close to their hearts and use them to create a memorable centerpiece. Intersperse the photos with some seasonal nuts and berries to create a harvest holiday centerpiece with visual appeal. After the Thanksgiving table settings are done and everyone is seated at the table, you can ask each guest to share the stories behind these photographs. A simple way to add a warm finishing touch is to light the centerpiece with lean taper candles placed on ornate candle holders. Personalize each candle holder with a handwritten quote about Thanksgiving placed at its base. Choose candle holders in different heights to highlight your one-of-a-kind centerpiece, making sure they are not too close to the photographs. Enjoy Thanksgiving entertaining with these simple ideas to add more fun to the festivities.
