Thanksgiving is a merry time of the year when friends and family all come together to give their thanks for the harvest turning out wholesome and fine, and also, to wish upon themselves a similar harvest next year. And to a carve the turkey!
Now, when this jolly time of the year comes, certain celebratory processes need to be set afoot, so to speak, one of the most important ones being - organizing a Thanksgiving party, of course!
In this article, we'll give you some suggestions on the topic of how you can throw a positively chic Thanksgiving Dinner Party so that your guests remember it for years to come.
Without further ado, here's what to do.
Picking the Theme
Throwing a Thanksgiving party presents you with various opportunities in the department of picking the right theme for the event.
Indeed, the imagery of harvests, the rustic spirit of a warm family home, and pumpkins are bound to enhance any Thanksgiving party, so roll up your sleeves and start amassing decorative material for the upcoming celebration!
Harvest Party
Since the merry holiday of Thanksgiving is all about, well, giving thanks for the successful harvest, organizing a harvest-themed Thanksgiving party can be a step in the right direction.
The procedure is simple enough - get some ripe and well-rounded pumpkins, decorate the walls and tables with serenely-colored fall leaves, and there you have it! Nothing too complicated, and no one's ever said 'No' to a well-organized pumpkin-themed party. If you have a large number of friends and relatives coming over for the celebration, you may want to hire the help of a catering company.
For Australia-based folks, Zest Patisserie is a great food-making and delivering service since their patisserie menu includes all sorts of treats such as cakes, tarts, gluten-free stuff, coffee and much more.
Rustic Gathering o' Yore
Wooden spoons, delicate hand-woven tablecloths, and lots of old-looking items would be the go-to recipe for a great-looking rustic-themed party.
The goal with this type of theme is to make the tables, the cutlery, the entire indoor setting carries the air of old times when the first settlers came to the new lands and made their abodes. You might even want to consider asking your invitees to turn up in a period costume for the additional effect of rusticity!
Decorations
Once you've picked your theme for the event, you can start decorating your home premises with some of the following items:
Leaves
Since leaves represent the omnipresent part of the Thanksgiving decor, embracing them as a part of your decorative arsenal can be a great idea, indeed.
To pull this off, all you need to do would be to go outside for a while, stroll down your street or park and then pick up fallen leaves of different colors and shapes! You should be able to amass leaves of a large variety of different hues, so look for anything from green-yellowish to downright burgundy red!
You might want to skip on the ones that have gone brown already because no one wants to see rotten leaves.
A Thanksgiving Board of Well-Meaning
Other than carving the turkey and decorating the rooms with leaves, acknowledging the presence of a massive holiday is a great way to celebrate it!
To do this, you can stick a special Thanksgiving board on a visible spot in your house, so that everyone can attach messages of thankfulness on it as they pass by.
It's a simple enough concept, really, but a simple board on your wall filled with messages of thanks and celebratory spirit will remind everyone how important this holiday is.
All things considered, organizing your own Thanksgiving celebration and throwing a chic party doesn't have to be that complicated. Just make sure your decorations are in-season, there's enough tasty food and treats for everyone, and that's it!
