Ideas for Creative Thanksgiving Table Settings

Setting up a beautiful table for Thanksgiving is easy with the right choice of Thanksgiving dinnerware sets, glassware and flatware. Well-chosen dinnerware can be mixed and matched with different pieces to create beautiful tablescapes. Themed Thanksgiving dinnerware sets decorated with holiday motifs can be paired with basic white chargers and simple glassware to create a festive table with a playful air.

To give the Thanksgiving table settings a harvest theme, use serving plates and bowls embellished with botanical motifs. Dress the table with a tablecloth or runner embellished with fall motifs like squash and leaves to continue the harvest theme. Make a simple basket-of-plenty centerpiece by filling a basket with pumpkins, apples, pears and other fall produce. Sheaves of grain, corn husks and seedpods can also be used for the basket-of-plenty centerpiece. Infuse the harvest theme in the Thanksgiving table settings with little touches. Roll napkins and secure them with a napkin ring; tuck a sheaf of wheat inside the napkin ring.

Thanksgiving dinnerware sets with soup tureens, salt and pepper shakers and gravy boats shaped like pumpkins and gourds are good choices for the harvest theme. Add seasonal style to your Thanksgiving table settings by making place card holders with unshelled nuts. To make these seasonal place card holders you will need unshelled walnuts and other nuts. Cut slips of paper into small squares and write the names of your guests on them. Using a nutcracker, open the shells slightly and insert the place cards in them. Arrange these charming place card holders at each individual place setting. It\’s an easy project and it\’s always nice to have something handmade on the holiday table.

Besides being festive, the holiday table should also be comfortable. Measure your table to determine whether all your guests will be seated comfortably. Allow for about two feet of space between the center of one plate and the center of the next. Add extensions or consider joining two tables to create seating space for all your guests. If you are using different dining chairs, give the table space a sense of uniformity by dressing the chairs with simple chair covers. Use a buffet or sideboard along with the dining table to create extra space for the food.

Host the Thanksgiving feast with ease with these simple ideas and tips.
