While it’s unlikely that your family members need help finding a place to sit at the Thanksgiving table, place cards can be a fun way of mixing up the usual conversation and perking up the day. You can put nosey Aunt Effie next to really reserved Rhonda or put severely sulking teenage Sam next to always chipper Uncle Chuck, and when everyone is seated just watch the fun unfold (names have been changed to protect the innocent). Place cards are also a great way to dress up the Thanksgiving table and give each guest a small keepsake of the day. Here are a few festive ideas I gathered, but hopefully they will spark some great ideas of your own.
