DIY Thanksgiving Printables/Ideas for the Hostess

November 17, 2010

I wanted to create pretty diy touches to use for 
our Thanksgiving Celebration! 
All of these are affordable and easy…. all I needed was card stock paper!
Its little things like this that can really pull your table together and add a little sophisticated touch.

This is what we are doing this year…if you are interested in these fun DIY projects, I have the collection up in my Etsy Shop: Pretty Paperie. click here to check it out!


i thought it would be gorgeous to have a votive at each place setting and use them as place cards and the favor! it would add a lovely soft glow to my table.
tented cards can be used as place cards or menu labels.
ps. i found these lovely gold chargers at target for just  $5 a pack! (they also had silver)
circle labels can be used as cupcake toppers or as little touches around your table/room.
 i loved the “eat. drink. give thanks.” attached to a green ribbon around each napkin.
gives the table a uniform look.
a “give thanks” banner can be put up wherever you want! 
under the mantle, around some frames or across the buffet table full of food!
 
I love the idea of the menu because so many times there are classic recipes you always make and it looks so pretty all written up together. a little keepsake to remember your good times and good food with family. you could even list on here what was made by each family member.

Hosting Thanksgiving this year?? don’t stress! use these little diy projects to get your decor going. 
You can create the graphics on your computer or if you are feeling too busy let me take that stress away and get the whole collection in my shop! done and done.

Not hosting this year? (alleluia ;) hehe jk. 
why not bring the hostess a little gift to thank her for filling her house with smoke from the turkey and you not filling yours! not that i have experience with smoke in my kitchen……::ahem::.

    These are great as usual! I do have a quick ? for you…

    Do you have a Cricket Machine? Which one? How do you make all those adorable cut outs like for your banner and toppers? I’m looking into getting something like that!
