It’s hard to believe that Thanksgiving is less than two weeks away. If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, chances are, you’re already in planning mode. To help you prep, we thought it’d be fun to pull together two visions — family fun and a minimalist celebration — to inspire your day. From your table decor to your outfit and accessories, we’ve got you covered!
To start, let’s look at a Thanksgiving dinner focused on family fun.
For the adult table, grab this beautiful terracotta table runner. Add some dimension and mood lighting with these votive candle holders. For texture, arrange a faux maple leaf garland and small velvet pumpkins along the center of the table. For your place settings, these square wine glasses and plastic gold cutlery (for easy clean-up!) will pair well with whatever plates you plan to use. Finally, add this sweet pumpkin menu to each plate. You can even customize it with each guest’s name for a personal touch.
As you cook, roll out this giant Thanksgiving-themed coloring table cloth with some crayons or colored pencils to keep the kids entertained. It’ll be such a fun memento from the holiday to display!
Of course, you can’t forget about your outfit. Stay comfortable in a pair of your favorite jeans, this ivory scalloped collar sweater from Anthropologie, and a pair of ballet flats. For a dressier look, opt for a pair of cream-colored trousers, this cashmere diamond Fair Isle sweater from J. Crew, and a pair of loafers. Either option will give you the adaptability you need as you play hostess for the day!
Next, let’s take a look at our Thanksgiving dinner inspiration for an adults-only minimalist celebration.
Start with this gorgeous gingham fringed table cloth from McGee & Co. Add these brass taper candlesticks for a touch of rustic sophistication, and fill your home with your favorite scent using this candle warmer. If you’re looking for a new candle to try, we’re big fans of Capri Blue’s Volcano fragrance. Plus, the white jar goes well with your minimalist decor!
For your place settings, we love the Plymouth Pumpkin Dinnerware Collection from Williams Sonoma. Does it get any more festive? These round, woven placemats and this set of crystal glassware pair perfectly with the dishes. Add this timeless printable menu, and your table is set.
To stick to the minimalist vibe when it comes to your wardrobe, you can’t go wrong with a cashmere classic-fit crewneck sweater from J. Crew paired with a simple slip skirt. Finish your look with a pair of timeless gold knot stud earrings and a gorgeous mini shoulder bag from Polo Ralph Lauren.
If these options don’t fit with your plans for Thanksgiving dinner, don’t worry!
