Happy Thanksgiving!!!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!! I hope everyone is enjoying their time off! šŸ™‚ Well, I hope you have today off to enjoy time with your family. I wish I was at home stuffing my face in Thanksgiving food, but then again ā€¦ maybe I like it here on the beach with my pina colada. šŸ˜‰ As a reminder, I’ll be back in my office on December 3rd!

Keeping this blog post very short and sweet today since I’m technically “out of the office”, I wanted to fill you with inspiration with decorating your Thanksgiving table. Although, I realize it is probably too late now to be running out for supplies. Haha! Hopefully it can spark some last minute creativeness. Plus a lot of these things posted below are DIY. šŸ™‚ Which means great for last minute ideas! Enjoy the inspiration and again, Happy Thanksgiving!!!

This below is a GREAT resource!!! Even has free printables for the cute signage! šŸ™‚ Be sure to check out the idea HERE!

Instead of using a vase, why not use a carved out pumpkin?! Check out more ideas with decorating with pumpkins HERE!

Why not have cute signage at each place setting? Either with a quote written out or guest name ā€¦ it’s adorable! Check out more details HERE!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!!!

  1. What a nice treat to see our Thanksgiving table here this morning! Thank you so much for sharing it on your beautiful site. I hope you enjoy your vacation on the beach. I could use a few sunny warm days myself (with something fruity to drink.)
    Happy Thanksgiving from Georgia!
