Thanksgiving day is one of the best days of the year. We reminisce what we are thankful for, eat like kings, and the family gathers around a beautiful Thanksgiving table.

If you are hosting Thanksgiving for the first time or have always been the hostess, sometimes creating an epic table setting doesn’t always work out.
You either overwhelm or underwhelm your guests.
Why not try something a little different this year? Why not give a more minimalist approach to your dining table a shot?
Minimalist table settings are taking our holiday events by storm and they are far from boring.
Whether you have a budget to buy some new table settings or have zero budget anyone can create a wow-worthy table.
Take these ideas for instance!
01 | USE FRESH PLANTS FROM YOUR OWN YARD TO DECORATE
02 | MIX AND MATCH YOUR EXISTING PLATES AND CUPS
03 | CUT UP A SHEET AND CREATE YOUR OWN “FRAYED” EDGE CLOTH NAPKINS
04 | CREATE YOUR OWN PLACE CARD HOLDERS BY USING FRESH ORANGES AND TOOTHPICKS
Since you are spending countless hours prepping in the kitchen why not make sure the family wants to sit around the table for just as long?
With a beautiful minimalist Thanksgiving table setting, your guests won’t just be talking about how amazing the food was!
