Thanksgiving Day is fast approaching and we want you to be covered with some fresh ideas to decorate and entertain your company!
Thanksgiving can be a stressful time, especially if you are the one hosting! We’ve teamed up with the oh-so-fabulous designer Leah to create these fun and festive Thanksgiving Day printables. Leah has done a lot of amazing designs and is so easy to work with 🙂 If you need any custom work done, Leah is for sure your girl!!

Last year, we celebrated Thanksgiving with some good friends and we were eating dessert when we realized that we’d totally forgotten to set out the beautiful salad I’d brought to share. It was huge and by that time everyone was so full it barely got touched!! We were eating salad for breakfast, lunch, and dinner for a few days after!! This year, you won’t forget anything with this handy Thanksgiving Feast printable. It looks so pretty you could easily pop it into a frame and use it as part of your decoration.
I LOVE kids, but I don’t love it when kids start running around all crazy-style at big gatherings {and then when they feel the need to start screeching too… oh, my!!} To keep the running at bay we have these fun Happy Turkey Day Thanksgiving Placemats that you can print for every child and have at their place setting. Leave plenty of crayons around for everyone to use, and let them decorate to their heart’s content:) I took mine to a copy shop to have it printed out on ledger-sized paper {I think it was 11×17} which gave the kids lots more room to work. There are some funny jokes, a crossword, and places for kids to draw a turkey and their favorite Thanksgiving meal. If you want a few other fun ideas to entertain the kiddos while the adults chat, you’ll for sure want to try our Thanksgiving Bingo and Scavenger Hunt!
One tip my friend had was to cover the kids table with butcher paper {or craft paper would work great too} and after the kids have finished up their placemats, they can color and draw all over the paper-covered-table. A big plus to that is you can just roll it up and toss it out when dinner is done:)
Pop this beautiful “In All Things Give Thanks” quote into your favorite frame and place it up on the mantle. If you are having lots of guests, I think it would be so fun to have pictures of all the families around this quote. It seems like what people are most grateful for are their families, myself included:)
Aren’t the place cards beautiful? I love the sweet quotes to put on each place setting too. Leah did a number of different designs, so you will have some beautiful choices as you print these out to use.
For a little something fun, we have a Thanksgiving version of ‘spin the bottle.’ Cut out the printable and use a small brad to attach the arrow spinner. Take turns at the table, spinning and reading out the questions, then letting everyone have a turn to answer. If you finish up with this, you’d have a great time using these Table Topics Conversation Starters for Families to learn more about your guests, and have a LOT of fun doing it!
