I am the unofficial Thanksgiving place card provider in my family. I’m not really sure when it happened, it’s been a few years now – but I like finding and/or designing cute place cards for our large family meal. Every year I say that I’m going to spend more time on them the next year and do something really out of the ordinary. Every year, I forget about it and end up printing something at work the day before Thanksgiving – and then spending hours cutting around detailed turkeys or pumpkins. This year…is no different. I didn’t remember until this morning that I hadn’t even thought about the place cards at all this year.
If you are a procrastinator like me and haven’t started your place cards yet – or weren’t planning on making any but would like to try – I found some super cute ideas this morning. I still don’t know what I will end up doing for our place cards this year(especially since I have eight pumpkin pies to make tonight…yum) – but maybe it will be one of these:
Super simple can be great – especially this late in the game. {Source}
This is pretty great but there is no way I could find a gourd or squash today. {Source}
I love the clay pine cones and acorns – so cute! {Source}
Leaves are wonderful. {Source}
Very simple but really cute. {Source}
A place card and a treat all in one. {Source}
Felted wool for the win. {Source}
I absolutely LOVE these and they would be so easy to do! Maybe I will make my dad cut some wood for me tonight! {Source}
So sweet. {Source}
These are my FAVORITE! The map and boats…Thanksgiving origins…yes. {Source}
If you end up trying any of these, or just have some really cute place cards in general – send us a picture, we would LOVE to see what you came up with! Happy Thanksgiving loves!
