place settings

Our very own FabSugarUK attended some nuptials and brought back an edible gift idea that's brilliant. She had this to share in the Wedding Talk group in the YumSugar Community. I attended a wedding a few weeks ago and couldn't resist sharing these gorgeous place settings. The bride had made a pot of jam for all the guests and had names printed on them. They were then used as place settings! They had a fabric covering on the lid that was made from the same fabric as the bridesmaid dresses. So cute! It was a really nice personal touch.

On today's episode of YumTV, Rachel Hollis shows how glitter can be a creative, affordable way to decorate and display Easter eggs as a centerpiece, coffee table topper, or place setting. To add a festive touch to your celebration, watch now!

Besides setting the table early — a couple of days before Thanksgiving — I also put aside several extra place settings. I'll stack two to three plates, chargers, napkins, and utensils in a hidden spot in the dining room.

My Thanksgiving is a "the more, the merrier" type of event, so if someone shows up with an unexpected friend or family member, all I have to do is grab the extra place setting that's ready and add another chair to the table.

It's one less thing to worry about, and will ensure that you don't have to go digging into your China cabinet looking for extra plates on the big night. Got a great Thanksgiving tip? Please share it with us below!

Creating a memorable Thanksgiving is not just about serving a moist turkey and flavorful pureed potatoes. It's also about enjoying a meal with loved ones! Since the time spent around the table is the most important part of the day, I like to pay special attention to the table setting. It can be simple (printed tablecloth and votive candles) or complex (homemade place cards and multiple wine glasses).

Let's get excited for Thanksgiving by searching the Internet for festive and functional table accessories.
