Holidays give us the opportunity to get a little fancy with our dinner gatherings! An occasion that allows us to do it up differently than our everyday meals…getting out our china or adding details that make it feel truly special! Thanksgiving revolves around the feast so there’s no better holiday to get creative with your table–whether you go all out or like it on the simple side–you can take any dinner up a notch by adding place cards! Nothing polishes off a table like a seating tag…and it can be such a simple thing to do! Even if you set your table without fanfare…plop a place card on each plate and suddenly you’ve created something special! If you’re expecting a crowd for Thanksgiving it can also alleviate confusion or even confrontation about where your guests sit! And we’re all about making our gatherings stress free and fun, right? So take a look at some place card inspirations and let your guests be seated!
