I'm not sure yet what I'm doing for this year's Thanksgiving table.  Eeek!  Though, I was looking at these leaf & twig ones I found online

Do you have place card plans?  I think it's the little details that make people feel special.  🙂

  • I love doing place cards too. And with all that goes into planning the big day I keep mine very simple. I just tear a piece of gel printed deli paper, adhere it to appropriate size card stock, fold in half, and write the name. Voila.

  • These are wonderful but we haven’t entertained, even family, in a while. So while I wouldn’t use these as placards at this time, they would make great tags!
