Thanksgiving is coming up soon. Celebrate at your Arlington, VA apartment by planning Thanksgiving with family and friends. Even if you aren’t having Thanksgiving at your apartment, we have tips that’ll help you plan any dinner party get-together this month. Enjoy these tips from the Richmond Square Blog and have a great November!
Divide up Food Assignments
When planning a meal together, divide up food assignments so the burden doesn’t all fall on the host. Find a platform that’s easy to give out assignments in. That might be through email, a group text, or through a google sheet. Whatever way you choose, make sure it’s a platform that can be referenced back to.
Choose a Table Setting
Decorating the table setting can be fun and gives you a chance to be creative. You can find all kinds of beautiful, traditional, and classy table settings online. For a traditional table setting, recreate this Traditional Plaid and Turkey Table Setting from Home is Where the Boat Is. For a classy table centerpiece, follow this tutorial from Pottery Barn. For a soft and natural Thanksgiving table setting, use this DIY from Stone Gable Blog. You can find all kinds of other table settings online or create your own with what you have lying around.
Plan a Gratitude Activity
A Thanksgiving activity will make your Thanksgiving dinner complete. Maybe this just means going around the table and everyone saying what they’re grateful for. Another option is to write down what you’re grateful for on a table runner. You can then use it the next year as table decor. You could also write down what you’re grateful for on a cutout leaf. You can then tie all the leaves onto a few branches for a “Thankful Tree” to use as home decor for the coming months.
