Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday. Not only is the ultimate holiday for foodies, but it’s also a time to gather with loved ones and enjoy each other’s company without the distraction of gift giving. I host 12-14 people at my house every year. I love preparing the meal, but I also love coming up with a great table setting. The easiest way to set a table is to come up with a theme and then build on it. This year, I’m thinking Feathers and Buttons just might be my theme for 2013. Here are two Thanksgiving place card ideas for your table.
Nature Specimen Place Card
This place card idea reminds me of childhood trips to the Natural History Museum. I loved to peer into the glass cases and see the natural collections. These simple place cards bring back those special memories of learning about nature.
Supplies:
- Tag
- Buttons
- Natural items like feathers, shells, acorn caps, etc.

Instructions:
- Glue buttons and natural items onto the tag.
- Using a gold leaf pen, write your guest’s name onto the tag.
Stamped Feather Place Card
Supplies:
Instructions:
- Stamp an image of feather onto cardstock.
- Run twine through buttons holes and tie the ends.
- Glue the button onto the paper feather.
- Write guest’s name on feather.
- Lay on top of place setting.
