Your Thanksgiving table settings guide is here and now you\u2019re one step closer to creating a memorable, festive table.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Thanksgiving Table Essentials:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Centerpiece<\/li>\n<li>Table runner<\/li>\n<li>Candles and votive holders<\/li>\n<li>Placemats<\/li>\n<li>Chargers<\/li>\n<li>Place cards<\/li>\n<li>Napkins<\/li>\n<li>Napkin rings<\/li>\n<li>A large enough table for your guests<\/li>\n<li>Extra seating<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These aren\u2019t all necessary, but it\u2019s a nice checklist if you don\u2019t know where to begin. Above all, get a headcount to make sure your table can seat everyone. If you have a large table, you can get some chairs to provide extra seating. And before you buy anything, plan your table setting. You can keep it cohesive by following a theme or color scheme. It helps create the mood for your guests.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re planning a <strong>contemporary <\/strong>table setting, choose a non-traditional color scheme such as black or deep purple. Then accent with metallic colors such as gold flatware or napkin rings. Spray-pained gold pumpkins and leaves also make good accent features for your modern vibe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you want it to feel<strong> rustic and natural<\/strong>, look for a burlap-type table runner, neutral (linen) napkin colors and plaid placemats. Look at heirloom pumpkins to inspire your color palette: soft white, pale green, orange and grey. Accent your table with magnolia leaves, acorns and pinecones. Or, learn how to fold an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1521995\/angled-pocket-napkin-fold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">angled pocket napkin with Martha Stewart<\/a> and skip the napkin ring.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Make Yourself a Cocktail<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t forget to set up your bar cart for the holiday season! It\u2019s the ultimate entertaining piece. If you provide a list of seasonal drinks with ingredients and directions, your guests can make their own drinks. This allows them to try their bartending skills while you focus on other entertaining duties.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Get Inspired at Stowers Furniture<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Whatever you plan for Thanksgiving, it starts with your table.
