Hey friends! November is here ad bam all the Christmas decor and commercials have started. I think after this crazy year people are more ready than ever to celebrate. But, I don’t want to forget about Thanksgiving. Your celebration may not look like it normally does this year, but that doesn’t mean you can make it special. Here are a few ideas to get your started. Stay tuned for many more to come. I’ll be sharing a new Friendsgiving idea later in the week but here is last years to get you inspired Ideas To Celebrate A Friendsgiving (or Thanksgiving) Gathering

Using basic pieces to start with, I changed up each place setting with just some different accent pieces and my fun printable cards. Lots of layers and texture give a table so much character and coziness. Neutral background with pops of Fall color give the festive feels.

This first setting I used my basic burlap ruffle placemat, layered a neutral charger and everyday dinner plate. Then I used a mini wreath as a napkin ring and used a pop of pretty mustard napkins to bring out the fall colors in the card.  A cute mini pumpkin added the little touch of whimsy to hold the place card in place.

This next Setting I used a pretty dried wreath as the place mat but you could use another leaf placemat as well. I have a few linked for you below. Then I used my basic straw charger mat, a burlap charger and a basic dinner plate. Lots of layers and texture make this a perfect look for Thanksgiving. I love this script napkin with the thankful sentiments and it’s also a perfect napkin to use  year round with its basic black and creme color scheme.

Once again using the wreath placemat, basic straw charger and then a galvanized charger for another form of texture then the basic dinner plate. A cute mini olive or galvanized bucket with the pretty napkin and a mini pumpkin tucked inside, adds a fun and unique look to the setting. The gather card makes the perfect final touch.

This final setting again starts with the basic ruffle burlap placemat, layered with the scallop charger, basic dinner plate then I added this fun little mini cutting board to give some warmth to the creme layers. The cute leaf plate gives a little whimsey to the look and the mini pumpkin card holder is the cutest touch to hold the “be our guest” card. I just cut tiny slits in the pumpkin to hold the card. They were found at a local craft store.
