Thanksgiving Back to Events
You'll give many thanks for a Turkey Day gathering that's light on prep and heavy on fun with this cornucopia of helpful ideas.
Let us take care of the prep for you with a Publix Deli Holiday Dinner. Just place an order in advance and then simply pick up a fully-cooked Thanksgiving meal with all the trimmings. You'll spend less time in the kitchen and more time enjoying the company of family and friends.
Take the guesswork out of what to serve for side dishes by turning your gathering into a potluck affair. Encourage guests to bring traditional family favorites (with the recipes, of course!) and new dishes.
Add to the festivity with table decor inspired by autumn's bounty:
- Wrap autumn-color ribbon around the necks of wine bottles.
- Fill wire baskets with fresh flowers and produce.
- Nestle pieces of cardstock with guests' names atop pinecones for simple place cards.
When the last of the turkey has been devoured, round up the family and start a scrapbooking tradition. Encourage family members to design pages based on the memories they're most thankful for. Supply the following: family photos, acid-free colored paper or cardstock, pens, markers, embellishments, scissors, tape and glue.
Thanksgiving Your Way shares even more ideas to make this your best holiday ever!
