Fall Vibes are going strong as we put away the Halloween decorations and get ready for the next big occasion, Thanksgiving. Time to start planning the guest list, the menu, the Thanksgiving table. We’ve got a few simple and elegant Thanksgiving place setting ideas that’s so easy and affordable yet make your table fabulous.
We want to remind you to not overwhelm yourself. It’s those little touches that can make a big impact too, especially when it comes to setting the Thanksgiving table. We love the simplicity of things that can be used for little or no added expense. Do you see a consistent pattern from season to season, and holiday to holiday with us? Overwhelming and over the top, it’s just not our thing. Simple and elegant is how we roll. Sounds like this should be our FruGirl’s mantra, LOL.
Mini pumpkins from our Fall decor are perfect for the table too. Place one on each place setting and several throughout the center of the table. We are using real but artificial pumpkins are great too. If you want to have arranged seating, write names on each pumpkin with a sharpie marker. Or meaningful words like “Blessed”, “Grateful” and “Thankful”. Pine cones also make wonderful table decor and place card holders. Painted or not, they are naturally beautiful.
We found fabulous Fall paper napkins at our local Dollar Tree*. Double the napkins (as seen in the picture) and fold around the utensils. Tie with string, ribbon, twine or jute. Top off with a decorative leaf or fresh cut rosemary. The rosemary adds such a wonderful Fall scent to the table. If you want to add a name or holiday message, there are plenty of free printables to choose from online. Simply print, cut & fold or tie on. Easy!
*For all our Frug-Shoppers, there’s lots of fabulous Fall Paper Napkins online too.
Do these gold pine cone place card holders look familiar? We used them in our DIY Easy Elegant Wedding Decor post. These would look fabulous on a Thanksgiving table too.
