6 Easy Place Settings for your Thanksgiving Table

It’s that time of year again, Thanksgiving is right around the corner! Decorating your table for Thanksgiving can seem tedious and stressful. We’ve simplified this for you with our 6 different table settings.

We used a Cricut to create our place setting cards and a few extra decorations. The Cricut is an easy-to-use machine that creates decorations from a variety of materials. Paper, vinyl, cardstock, and even leather are just some of the materials that it can cut through.

They’re very simple to use but they make for very sophisticated-looking decor. Use the Cricut to personalize each place setting. The pen feature on the Cricut is great for writing names on each place cardholder.

Some of the Cricut templates cost extra money, but they also give you the ability to design your own templates using their software as well.

Name Cards

For a more simplistic look, this place setting uses an uncomplicated design on the nameplate that can be made very easily using the Cricut.

It just requires several different materials. The list of materials includes-

• burlap bound to a craft paper
• brown glitter cardstock
• letters made from thinner cream cardstock

You can also complement the table setting with a Thanksgiving-themed ‘Bountiful’ water glass. One way you can repurpose this is to replace the saying with ‘joy’ or ‘Happy Holidays’ for your December gatherings.

This place setting is a bit more elaborate with the intricate name place holder on the plate. Moreover, the little greenery adds contrast between the plate and placeholder.

Notice the cute mason jar with ‘gobble’, again another removable vinyl adhesive sticker.

This feather place setting is perfect for Thanksgiving. The greenery attached to the napkin contrasts well with the cream colors. The nameplate cut out and etching was made directly from Cricut’s designs and can be found here.

The napkin ring for this place setting was crafted from a Cricut template. The gold and brown colors in this setting compliment the beautiful fall leaves that adorn the table.

Furthermore, the gold ‘give thanks’ adds another nice themed touch if you’d don’t want to use placeholders.

Napkin Holders

This place setting is a beautiful way to tie together the foliage of fall with Thanksgiving. The golden leaves make a gorgeous addition to your table setting and go well with the feather-decorated glass. As for the leaves, they’re real- and we just spray painted them gold.

Lastly, the feathers attached to this look are very easy to make and add a natural look to your Thanksgiving table. You can use them for place settings and centerpieces which we featured below.

Additional Table Setting Decor

Paper mache pumpkins, block letters, and feathers are easy to decorate with gold and white spray paint to make an alluring centerpiece for your Thanksgiving table.

Moreover, adorn your table with tea lights as well.

Pies can be easily decorated with word cut-outs from the Cricut too! The template for this funny pun cut out can be found here.

 

All of these table decorations and easy place settings are inexpensive and will be admired by all of your guests. The modern yet slightly rustic look from this decor is an excellent way to enhance the festive Thanksgiving theme this year.
