So there’s a running joke amongst planners in that we plan every event as if we were planning a wedding, but honestly, how can we not when special holidays are meant to be celebrated with friends, family and decadence?  We are about two weeks away from Thanksgiving and this year, Thanksgiving dinner is at my house and I am planning the centerpieces and decor at every free second that I have!  Here are some fun inspirations from Martha Stewart Living and Better Homes and Gardens that may bring inspiration to you for your Thanksgiving Dinner.  Happy Planning!

I am loving the idea of using fresh fruits and vegetables for centerpieces and place cards.  The natural colors and feel are not only festive, you get extra kuddos for being green.

Love the array of pumpkins, gourds and vegetables sharing the same color palette

I love these napkin ideas in that they are pretty on the eye and so simple to do.  This year, I’m thinking linen napkins with a nice satin bow.  Understated beauty is always in fashion!

These inspirations for a Thanksgiving setting inspired by Napa Valley are beautiful.

Kids should have fun too at these family functions.  We do not have any young children in our family yet, but I think if we did, this idea for a Kids Table would be a huge hit!

Happy Thanksgiving planning!
