Thanksgiving Place Cards and Tablescape

 Creating place cards for a family gathering of only eight people is not something I’ve done before. I’ve really never given any thought at all to the idea. It seems a little unnecessary, but after seeing so many cute ideas on lots of blogs this season, I decided that I wanted to do something this year. So, while it might not be necessary, it makes my Thanksgiving table scape pretty, and really now,  isn’t that all that matters?

Since I waited until the weekend prior to Thanksgiving to decide to do this,  I needed to make it simple and quick. I was at Bed, Bath and Beyond on Friday to look for some new napkins. I found a set of four that came with one each in green, brown, burgundy and gold-perfect for Thanksgiving. Next to the napkins, I spotted sets of leaf coasters that matched the napkins. It only took a minute for me to see how I could use these for my place cards. The slits in them would work just right to hold the card in place. I bought two sets of napkins and two sets of coasters.
