This has to be at the very top of the list. Fall is simply beautiful, and the main reason is the pretty leaves in different colors. Draw inspiration from this and die-cut your place cards in the shape and color of fall leaves.

This will give your regular cards extra flair.
I have received similar cards and have also sent out a few and they are always received well. The one that was most notable for me was a birthday card with a teddy bear holding a bunch of flowers. The flowers had three layers of die-cut flowers stuck one on top of the other and as you can imagine, it was quite chunky. Despite this, it was gorgeous when placed on my bookshelf where it stayed for months, becoming a common fixture in my room. You can give someone else this experience by making an event card or thanksgiving place cards in the same way.
You can either buy or make if you are up to the task, candles for each guest. Order a batch of custom labels on which you can print each person's name. You may use different scents for variety and create a Thanksgiving party placeholder that people can carry home. Lavender and cinnamon are popular scents that you can use. Everyone is bound to love this and you will have set a great creative record to boot!
You can go green by getting your place cards printed on Kraft paper. Environmentally conscious guests will be sure to notice and appreciate this. Take the green experience a notch higher by buying tiny planters with succulents in them. You can then put a kraft thanksgiving place cards on top of each planter for each guest.

These stand-alone place cards eliminate the need for card-holders.

Everyone will feel appreciated and will be completely glad to be a part of your event.
This final one is going to be a big hit for all the spice lovers on your guest list. It can be as simple or extravagant as you like and the options are as many as there are spices in the world. A glass vial of saffron will leave your guests thrilled and impressed. A small jar of tea mixed spices will find its place on many people's kitchen shelves and will be their go-to when they need an extra edge to their tea.
You could even use healing blends of herbs and spices for anyone who wants to try out the benefits of natural cures. Simply print out gorgeous hang tags- which can be regular or die-cut shapes, and write each person's name on them then sit back and watch as your Thanksgiving event livens up.

So much talk about cards, so here are two ideas of place that holders you may use:
For an event that will have adults, this can be a great idea. Print out some pretty custom place cards then use a toothpick or cut skewer to balance the card on top of.. a shot glass with your choice of spirit. These thanksgiving placeholders will serve both an aesthetic and refreshing purpose.
Another great idea of holders for your place card is getting tiny pumpkins and wedging the place card with a name on each. You can buy real pumpkins if you want to take this theme the whole way, but synthetic ones will work great too. This will be in perfect tandem with Thanksgiving and the bright colors of orange pumpkins will liven things up.
We hope that these ideas will give you some inspiration for your Thanksgiving. Check out our selection of Thanksgiving place cards prints and you can customize everything as you wish for a great event!
