Thanksgiving Ideas to Start the Season Off on the Right Foot
Having some tips to help you plan your party is the way to go.
You can Google your heart away and find suggestions that will work for you.
Remember Google is your friend! First you must bear in mind that Thanksgiving is only a few weeks away, and in order to have your guest at your table, then you must send invitations out early.
You can get pre made invitations or you can be creative and make your own.
These can be in shapes of pumpkins, turkey, pilgrim's hats, or whatever you like, with the theme saying Thanksgiving, if you like, you may just email your guests and follow-up with a quick call to confirm their attending your party.
If you are planning a sit down affair then you will get a chance to use your fancy cutlery, and dinnerware you got for wedding gifts.
Your table must be decorated with colors of fall; in oranges, yellows, browns and reds, that will set the feel of warmth and welcome.
The house must share the same feeling as your table; you decorate with colors and candles that will give the home an intimate atmosphere.
Candles are optional, but I like them.
Food is what most people look forward to during this season, so your menu is significant.
Turkey is always the main attraction, then baked ham, rolls, corn bread, cranberry sauce, sweet potatoes, and mashed potatoes.
You can even start a tradition of your own by adding something that is not a traditional dish.
Thanksgiving is about fun and family getting together to celebrate and give thanks to God for his Blessings and Love during the past year.
Dessert is always something to look forward to; sweet potato pie is traditional, but you can do apple pie, pecan pie, pumpkin pie, or do one that will become a tradition at your next Thanksgiving party's to come, why not do a cheesecake and decorate it with colors of the season.
Make it festive! Wines are to be had that go well with your menu.
The choices of wines are to be researched, so you make informed selections.
Have fruit punch for the children as they cannot be left out.
