8 Decoration Ideas for Thanksgiving:

Setting the mood for your festive season is easy when you have fun and creative thanksgiving decoration ideas. If you’re really keen on going the full mile this year, then get into the spirit with beautiful displays, place settings, placeholders and more! Our recommendations on how to throw a thanksgiving party are often based on the use of natural elements and on-hand supplies, with impactful visuals and lighting.

Decorating for Thanksgiving

You can transform your home, office or venue into a beautiful seasonal display in no time – especially with these innovative ideas.

1. Sentiments Tree Board

As loved ones arrive for Thanksgiving events, whether breakfast, lunch or dinner on the day, have them record what they are thankful for on a decorative piece of paper. Then you can pin these up post-it style in the shape of a tree. Cut paper leaves from your decorative paper for the messages and even use different colour paper to mimic different fall shades. You can either buy or hand-make a frame, which can be constructed using a linen-covered foam core and an old frame. Making it yourself is handy if you’re looking for a cost-effective solution.

2. Cozy Glow

Nothing sets the scene quite as beautifully as a variety of lighting options. From beautiful garden lights, to floating air and water lanterns, you can render the entire affair into a chic and sophisticated occasion to remember.

3. Thankful wreath

A wreath that is dedicated to giving thanks sets a welcoming tone at your front door. Garnish a homemade or purchased evergreen wreath with elements such as roses, pinecones, hypericum berries, champagne grapes and hydrangeas. You might be able to get away with using just what you have in your garden, or chat to neighbors if they have flowers that they don’t mind you using too.

4. Thanksgiving Cards and Placeholders

You can create simple cards that are designed to convey seasonal messages. These can then also be used to identify where loved ones are going to sit at the Thanksgiving table. It’s easy, just cut cardstock with scissors and decorate them with rubber-stamp designs or even handwritten sentiments. Choose tone-on-tone or metallic ink for a stylish look.

5. The Thankful Tree

Invite loved ones to write messages of thanks on paper decorations. Tie these sentimental ornaments to tree branches, which you can anchor in sand with an attractive pot or pitcher. These can make remarkable memorabilia, particularly if guests sign and date them.

6. Bucket of Color

For a casual seasonal aesthetic, make or buy an eclectic mix of deep-tone and long-lasting plants in a galvanized bucket or vintage-style vessel. We suggest using dark red carnations, juniper branches, plum-colored calla lilies and purple millet ornamental grass to really set off this kind of display.

7. Table Arrangements

You can make quick and easy Thanksgiving decorations for your dinner or lunch table. Why not try arranging rocks and bits of moss around small candles in miniature flowerpots. We’d also suggest switching in little ornaments and sprigs of evergreen to keep these on your table into December!

8. Acorn Adornments

Just a simple coat of paint transforms acorns into tiny ornaments. Hang them from a branch with twine loops secured with glue to the caps. Hunt down a long serving tray or two and arrange a few glass bowls to fill with acorns on them. This can visually balance the display on a table or even a mantle. Match the colors that you paint the acorns to complement your table linens or other décor.
