This year I decided on a non-traditional turquoise, navy, green and gold set up. I also wanted to add a little faux bois wood grain in the mix. I designed this set of printables around that theme and I am IN LOVE with it. Like, seriously, I would marry it if it would have me. In LOVE! Let me show you all the goodies in this set:
Every great celebration starts with a pretty invitation. I had these 5x7 flat cards printed on cardstock at Staples. All you have to do is cut them out, add the info, and pop them into envelopes.
I created a Give Thanks Banner that coordinates with the set to use as part of your decor. I put mine up on my chickenwire frame and have some small tags and mini clothespins nearby so guests can write things they are thankful for and clip them to the board.
Next you need some cute place cards to help tie your table into the theme. I designed a couple of different versions for y'all. {I like having options!!} The first is the simple floral and striped ribbon tent card, shown above. But if you want to get a little more tricky with it,
. . . I designed this napkin wrapper place card as well. Depending on how you fold your napkin, you can place the silverware inside the napkin {awesome for buffet style serving situations} or place it beside the plate for a more traditional, formal look. Also, I just now decided to go with gold chargers instead of burlap. See? It pays to plan ahead.
Oh, folks! I also found these eco-friendly plates made from palm leaves online. They look like wood, but they're disposable. They're a super-cool option if you are serving a big crowd and want a nicer-than-paper throw-away option. I'm thinking they might be perfect for the dessert and pie buffet after dinner is cleaned up.
If you are serving your food buffet-style, you can use these tent cards to label the dishes. I always like to know what something is before I put it on my plate. Thanksgiving plate real estate is valuable y'all, so I want to make sure I have room for all the things I love!
Finally, send your guests home with a lil' sum'n sum'n for later! Box up leftovers in these cool take-out boxes so all your guests can have a midnight snack. Make them extra special by printing these cute labels onto full-sheet mailing labels and cutting them out to make your own custom sticker labels.
I hope your holiday season is full of beauty and joy, and that you are surrounded by those you love! What we all need right now is to focus on our blessings and move forward into the future with peace and respect for one another. Happy Thanksgiving, friends!!
