If you are serving Turkey dinner, choose a beautiful and festive center piece for your dining table. I know one... the turkey! Find accents or candles that will fit the Thanksgiving theme and place around the table to highlight the main event. Go with fall colors, warm colors. Gold is always a great accent too.

Here is some great ideas on how to make Thanksgiving feel special. Use cute invites and place cards. Wrap little presents in gold and make cute labels for your desserts.


Anything is possible with these printables found on Pinterest.

Pumpkin!
Are you the guest and you are unsure what to bring?

It's hard to think of a good thanks for the Thanksgiving feast!
You can bring a wine that pairs well with the main dish or a fun dessert wine.
You can even bring some dessert. Is pumpkin pie overused? But pumpkin is so good...
How about a pumpkin roll, cupcakes, even pumpkin custard!
Just search pumpkin on Pinterest and there are hundreds of ideals. Not a pumpkin fan? do the same for Apples or Pecans.


Holidays are magical. They bring people together that don't get to see each other often. They help you remember why family is so important. Everything about them is great, especially the food! Remember to give thanks this Thanksgiving for all that you have and for the people around you.
