Find your place...

With Thanksgiving just a couple of days away I have been thinking about how I will be setting the table. Normally, we have a large group and we like to keep it very casual and simple...grab a plate, fill it with lots of yummy food, and sit wherever you like to enjoy the feast! 
This year there will be a smaller group gathering for dinner and I am considering adding place cards to my Thanskgiving table.
I almost always use fall leaves on my table scape like this picture. I could simply write each persons name on the leaf with a metallic ink pen.



I love the idea of using something organic like an apple, pear, or mini pumpkin set on each plate with a simple name tag attached.





I like the look of these napkins with a shaft of wheat tucked into a tie made of twine...

Perhaps I will place an inspiring note of thanks and appreciation on each plate...letting our guests know how much we enjoy spending the day with all of them.









How will you decorate your Thanksgiving table?
