Impress Your Guests at Your Thanksgiving Table

You don't have to have the bank account of Paris Hilton or the decorating savvy of Martha Stewart to pull off an extremely well put together Thanksgiving Day dinner for your family and friends.

First of all, remove all the clutter from the room. Make it as cozy as possible. Put up the knick knacks and leave out personal photos and other items that add to the cozy touch.

Next, consider a centerpiece for your table. You can purchase a nice dried arrangement at a local craft store for under twenty-dollars in most places or you can opt to make your own centerpiece. Use items of the season. On a store bought pine or corn husk wreath add pine cones you've gathered. You can also add plastic red holly berries you can get for less than a dollar at the craft supply store. Don't use real ones as they are appealing and deadly poisonous to both people and pets, and small children may mistake their beautiful red color as something delicious to eat on the Thanksgiving Day table. Add decorative corn, miniature pumpkins and mums in fall colors around your wreath. Add a pillar candle or two in the center and you'll have a one of a kind centerpiece for your dinner gathering.

You don't have to have the finest china either. Just have your dishes match and make sure that your serving bowls and server wear is well presented. A functional piece no holiday table should be without is a tri-server. It's a handy server that has three compartments for holding sauces, cranberries and more.

Make sure your Thanksgiving gathering pulls off without a hitch, do a little planning and a little prep work on your room and reap the rewards of compliments for such a well planned gathering.
