HOW TO HOST A THANKSGIVING DINNER PARTY

www.lechefswife.com

As a home cook, in a small home kitchen, I feel like I can manage 6-8 guests. More than that and everything becomes more complicated. Are there enough chairs? Space at the table? Plates? Glasses? Think of how you want to enjoy your Thanksgiving dinner. If it means everyone seated at the table together, let your dining room table be your guide.

Thanksgiving is definitely the time to bring out those white cloth napkins. Use your best china, glassware, tableware for this day. Even if you ordered in a rotisserie chicken as the main course, it will feel elevated on a beautiful table. If you don't have napkin rings you can simply tie a satin ribbon in a Fall themed color around each napkin. Simple and elegant.

THANKSGIVING TABLE SET UP

Keep it simple. Prepare in advance. You are on your way to having your best Thanksgiving dinner ever! I also like to complement my white plates and neutral tablecloth with some fun pieces that bring festive decor. I have a Thanksgiving table runner with fall leaves on it that I pull out every year that immediately sets the tone.  It is amazing what you can find at a thrift store if you are looking for vintage Thanksgiving decor. Dollar Store also has cute, fun items that the kids will love too.
