Create Your Thanksgiving Table Setting!

I’m sure everyone is gearing up for Thanksgiving and making final menu plans and getting excited for the extended family to come into town. I have been thinking about my own Thanksgiving table setting, which I always like to think about in a methodical way. Going through my checklist ensure a finished table that will be well thought out and really knock your guests’ socks off! Here are a few guiding thoughts on making your own Thanksgiving table setting.

Pick Out Your Table Covering

Whether you plan on a tablecloth or placemats, build your setting around

this base, which will help bring continuity to your table. Whether you’re

going traditional or contemporary, this will be your backbone!

Cutlery, China, and Napkins

Pick out your cutlery and china and think about how you would like to

arrange them. I love Emily Post etiquette guides and here is a quick go to

for your cutlery and china arrangement. Whether you have an elaborate fold

or fun napkin ring, don’t forget to make yours an addition!

Glasses

Select your glasses for display. If you have more than one type of glass at

your table, it’s always convenient to put the most used glass most accessible.

Place Cards

They really add extra pizzazz to your table and make a complete look!

Consider Your Serving Style

Whether you go for a buffet style setting on an adjacent table or layout the

your serving dishes, consider where your dishes will go and that they are

accessible to your guests!

I have been searching for inspiration to keep my own table fun and exciting for this Thanksgiving and I have to share some of my favorite table settings to get you inspired to!
