Tablescaping: Setting the Perfect Thanksgiving Vibe
Creative Tips for a Stunning Holiday Presentation
Your dining room is the focal point of any Thanksgiving feast, but don’t let the term “tablescaping” scare you. With a bit of creativity, you can curate a festive dining table experience that your guests will love. First, consider what you’d like your Thanksgiving centerpiece to look like. A trip to the local craft store or home decor shop can help inspire ideas.
Many holiday presentations include fall colors and seasonal produce items, real or mock, such as mini pumpkins and gourds. VELCRO® Brand Sticky Back Dots make it easy to keep your Thanksgiving garland and mini pumpkins in place once the meal arrives.
You can also add a touch of personal elegance for your guests by neatly bundling your silverware and napkins. A simple enhancement makes each place setting feel organized and polished while adding decorative flair.

Thanksgiving Craft Ideas to Enjoy Together
For those with guests of all ages joining their Thanksgiving party, a craft station at the kids’ table is fun for everyone. These crafts are perfect for keeping the kids (and adults) occupied.
Repurpose those paper grocery bags that typically fill a kitchen area and make a turkey costume for children. This is sure to create memories and photo opportunities to last a lifetime.
If you have smaller, lunch-sized paper bags available, take your holiday cheer to the next level with decorated goodie bags stuffed full of holiday treats sure to impress those guests who arrived with a sweet tooth.
One way to focus on the true meaning of the Thanksgiving holiday is to create a tangible item that everyone can have a hand in creating. Using our fee template, create a Thanksgiving paper chain. Write down big and little gratitude’s that are important to us and put it on display for all to see.
Putting Your Best Front Porch Forward
Looking to set the tone for your seasonal decor? Look no further than decorating your porch for fall. Adding a touch of style to your home’s entrance and front door for fall holidays can evoke a welcoming harvest feel for guests.
Front Door: A Festive Focal Point
Start by adorning your front door with seasonal wreaths or garlands. Incorporate mini pumpkins and fall leaves for a more subtle yet festive touch. When Thanksgiving approaches, decorate your porch with materials like corn husks, sunflowers, or pinecones.
Layer Your Porch Steps with Seasonal Charm
@brunoandlibby 🍂✨Fairytale Fall Front Porch…a series. Part Three: the steps!✨🍂 This is where my fairytale fall dreams really came to life! Step styling can be intimidating but it doesn’t have to be…here’s what I do: 1. Start with your largest pieces…the ones you want to make a statement! This was the trees and the woven pre-lit pumpkins from @potterybarn! I spread them out for balance without making it totally symmetrical. 2. Add a few pieces with varying color and texture: the black outdoor lanterns and baskets with flowers! 3. Filler…the terracotta pumpkins filled in all the gaps and pulled it together! PS: I actually used several of the jack-o-lantern pumpkins so I can turn them around in a few weeks for Halloween!
