Thanksgiving Decorations- How to.

When decorating for that wonderful Thanksgiving feast, remember the food on the table isn't all that matters (Okay, so maybe to some people it is, but not to this CI intern!) 

So before the Macy's day Parade and the Griswold family turkey, here are a few table decorating tips:

1. Remember the rule of odds. When setting a table full of bouquets, know that an odd number of anything is more pleasing to the eye. It is easier for the eye to see an odd amount of something than an even number- even numbers divide the space while odd numbers make the table feel more whole.

2. It is still Fall. Even though Christmas commercial are in an almost full swing, it is not yet officially winter, which means there are still amazing colorful leaves and decorations right outside your door, use them for an amazing (and cheap) table runner!

3. Make cute name tags, this is a great way to personalize the table and make sure everyone feels extra special (and make sure you don't get stuck talking to cousin Ernie-Ray all dinner long, right?).

4. Pick a color scheme, show the people you share your day with you mean design business, pick a color scheme to match the napkins, plates, table runner, and cups. It will give a cohesive feel to the entire room and show great organization as well!

5. FOOD IS KING. I know I said earlier that decor is important to me, but I did not say it was more important than the food. That yummy asparagus casserole mom slaved away on all day should be the centerpiece, aside from the 25+ pound turkey of course. Make the food the focal point of the day, the extras make it a great way for people to remember the amazing meal and togetherness.

 

 .. Lastly remember this verse while you celebrate Thanksgiving Day:
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever. -Psalm 107:1
