Celebrate Thanksgiving with delicious food, gorgeous tablescapes and good company. Thanksgiving entertaining can be easy and enjoyable when you plan in advance for the harvest holiday. Send out your invitations early as it gives your guests time to check their calendars. If you are planning a potluck-style Thanksgiving, let your guests know which course they are responsible for along with the invitation. Plan your menu and look for the ingredients online. The menu should be well-balanced with a mix of classic dishes like turkey and mashed potatoes and some new dishes like mini fruit tarts for dessert. The appetizers should be light and bite-sized so focus on making a delicious roast turkey as the entree. Organic turkeys are a great choice for the harvest festival and they are easily available online. These turkeys are fed on organic grain without pesticides and they are shipped directly to your home. Check if your guests have any dietary restrictions so you can opt for gluten-free food or vegan food while planning the menu. You can also find vegetarian or gluten-free sides and desserts on the website of gourmet food stores. Make Thanksgiving entertaining simple and time-saving by bringing home these delicious options. Search for recipes that can be made ahead and frozen or refrigerated. Desserts and sides can be made the day before and warmed in the microwave before serving. This will help you to pace the holiday cooking and execute a successful meal on Thanksgiving Day. The Internet is also a great resource to find beautiful dinner sets and glassware for your Thanksgiving table settings. A week before, lay out the Thanksgiving table settings to determine if you have enough plates, bowls and glasses for everyone. Mix and match pieces from different dinner sets or order from online stores so you have enough for all your guests. Add festive touches by selecting holiday-inspired dinnerware like serving platters embellished with turkey motifs. Make sure you have plenty of room for everyone at the table. You can set up a separate table for children if you are expecting about five to six young guests. Set out fun Thanksgiving table settings by including placemats that can be colored in at the children's table. Plan a successful holiday event with these Thanksgiving entertaining tips.
