DIY Thanksgiving Printables/Ideas for the Hostess

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.

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::.

Thanksgiving Cupcake Toppers- $6 bucks well spent.

You know how i love my cupcakes. these cuties need a post all their own. 

so stop on over to my etsy shop and grab up these toppers...only 6 bucks! 

Perfect to jazz up a dessert you are bringing to thanksgiving week festivities!

(i usually e-mail them to be cut out..but if you have a circle punch let me know and i can put the circle graphic in the middle of a square of color for easy punching. :)

as i was taking these photos...i let sophia have a cupcake. 

a firm "only one" was said.

she proceeded to lick the icing off and put it back into the container.....

 lovely.

another funny sophia moment today....

we were leaving the library (they have great kid programs there!) 

but it was raining...

and as i carried sienna in her car seat and my purse and held sophie's hand...

my genius two year old told me............. "we need an umbrella."

the running commentary is awesome. just awesome. haha.
