3 Tips for an Affordable Thanksgiving Tablesetting

Hello Pretty Ladies, 

Can you believe we’re already at Thanksgiving week and the end of November? Blink, and it will be Christmas morning. I am finishing the rest of my Christmas decorating for clients, which should be done by Tuesday. I’ll get our home done by Wednesday, as well, to have all our Christmas gifts wrapped. I am almost done Christmas shopping, but I would like to wait for the sales this week to grab a few items for the boys and my hubby. I am finished with everyone else on my list. How about you?

That brings me to talk about this crazy sale week real quick. As you know, this is my job, and I like to be as helpful and informative as possible to help you shop for the best deals and get the best pricing. To do this, I am updating my best of Cyber Week sales blog post daily and adding items to my Liketoknowit, Amazon, and Walmart storefronts. I’ll also be sending out another Newsletter on Friday morning.

I will also be sharing up-to-date info on my Instagram stories, and I started a broadcast channel there called Chit Chat to announce sales, discount codes, and links. If you like this, it’s FREE to join. I want to keep you updated on what I think are the best deals and even what’s in my cart. I will also pick up items for our home and myself. 

Thank you. I genuinely appreciate your support, including being here, commenting, liking my post, shopping my links, and using my codes.

I am genuinely so grateful & Thankful for your support and being here.

3 Tips for an Affordable Thanksgiving Tablesetting:

I’ve been hosting Thanksgiving dinner at our home for as long as I can remember—even before Ben and I were married. That’s been over 30 years, giving me several years of experience collecting entertaining pieces. Over the years, I have learned several tips and tricks to help create beautiful tablescapes and a few ways to save money. 

Tip number one: Paper Goods 

 Will entertaining a crowd be more significant than your regular place setting allows? Nowadays, paper plates, napkins, stemware, and disposable silverware are so beautiful; some can even be used repeatedly, as you can hand wash them. I’ve found some affordable plastic options that look even real, which can decrease the cost of purchasing more of your place settings. 

Tip number two: Use things you have on hand

You can create a beautiful table centerpiece with items you have on hand. Look through your everyday items or holiday decorations and use items that would work well for that season or your place settings. Another great way to save money is to use nature. Go outside and see what you could use indoors: pinecones, leaves, cut branches or greenery, seasonal flowers, or wildflowers. 

Tip Number Three: Purchase entertainment pieces for multiple holidays and events.

When I say Purchase entertainment pieces that you will be able to use for multiple holidays and events, I mean think about how you’ll use those pieces and whether they are something that you will want to use on repeats, like serving platters, bowls, punch bowls, wine glasses, gravy boats, or ice buckets. 

I like to collect entertaining pieces in white and crystal, as they mix well and go with every holiday. As your collection grows, you can add specialty pieces for special Holidays. This saves a lot of money when you go to entertain, as you’ll have things already working.

The same goes for lines, Tablecloths, cloth napkins, napkin rings, placemats, and table runners. Purchase white, and then you can always add in as you go.
