You've just found out you're hosting Thanksgiving. This is one of the most enjoyable holidays because the main focus is on food, so the table setting should be secondary.
Here are a few inspired designs...
FANCY
Elegant, chic, formal; however you may refer to it, this design is not just about the china or stemware, it's about lighting, textures and overall mood. This option not only features candles and floral arrangements, but your creative side as well. Preparing individual menus, place cards, color schemes and festive accessories go hand in hand with the fancy Thanksgiving table. These table settings display an attractive sophistication and can add a serious amount of style to your feast.
SIMPLE
Cozy, casual, informal; this style is what most of us are used to. But don't let "simple" be confused with "uninterested". The simplest tables can also be the most chic. And remember, these beautiful tables will soon be full of color and life when the food is added.
KID-FRIENDLY
If you have kids, then you already know keeping them seated at the table for a long period of time can be a challenge. Rather than sitting on pins and needles, hoping they don't break your great grandmother's fine china; exchange the elegant white tablecloth and expensive flatware for butcher paper and crayons and let them go to town. When they're happy, you're happy. And you can enjoy your meal while they're entertaining themselves.
The decision to go elegant, festive, casual or kid-friendly is up to you. Your table should reflect your own personal style and traditions. Putting too much emphasis on being perfect is bound to raise the stress levels. So take a deep breath, relax and enjoy the holiday!
