Thanksgiving Placecards
November 23rd, 2010
I’m usually not big on place settings at the table. It’s not that I’m opposed to anyone dictating where I should sit, but far too often the cards are unattractive and take away from the overall aesthetic. For Thanksgiving this year, we’ll have about twenty people, so I offered to make the table settings. I wanted them to be rustic, festive and affordable, so I bought a few bags of pine cones (I didn’t have time to collect them), made tags and secured them with a piece of raffia (all for under $10).
Great idea!
Very cute! This will work right through Christmas!
Wishing you a great holiday,

Such a cute touch!
Brilliant. I went to a New Year’s wedding in Bozeman, MT one year and they used a similar decorative look!
WHY THE PLACE CARDS? CONTROL FREAK MUCH? ITS ONLY 20 PEOPLE IM SURE THEY WILL SIT WHERE THEY LIKE. CUTE IDEA THOUGH
so sweet!
Such a great idea! I love the simplicity of it.

So cute, budget-friendly and seasonally appropriate! I wish I was Fay so I could take mine home
That’s such an excellent idea and the result is so cute!!
Loving this
, pretty little details.
So cute! We went to a dinner at my friend’s house on Saturday and she had collected little thingamajigs from the backyard {honestly, no clue what they’re called, but they look like brown, hollowed-out prickly cherries} and put them at everyone’s place setting. Such a simple but pretty touch. Have a great Thanksgiving if I don’t talk to you!! It has been so long, we need to catch up:) xo

Thanks for the cute idea, I just finished making my own version of pinecone place-settings!
That’s so crazy…I just made my own version myself.

I’m a sucker for traditional Thanksgiving decorations, but I do love succulents as centerpieces. The’re a big trend in wedding decor right now.
