Thanksgiving Table Place Cards

If you're hosting Thanksgiving dinner this year, using personalized place cards is a special way to create an intimate table. They're so easy to make, but they have a big impact! Think about it...when you sit down to a table at a place with your name, doesn't it make you feel special? It reminds you that you aren't at that table by accident! Someone thought of you and took the time to write your name on a piece of paper, or a leaf, or a pumpkin. This personalized touch reminds your family and friends that they're welcome, they have a place at your table.
