DIY Thanksgiving Place Cards for a Festive and Organized Tablescape

Every hostess knows that a pretty, festive Thanksgiving place card is the cherry on top of a truly beautiful Thanksgiving table. They may be small, but they're one of the first things guests see when they arrive for the festivities—long before you've set out your turkey, pecan pie, and other dinner favorites. What's more, place cards provide you with a chance to get personal with each guest by customizing settings that perfectly suit their personalities. You could even leave a sweet note of gratitude for your family and friends along with their place cards! Still, important as this element is to the overall vibe of your Thanksgiving feast, it doesn't have to be hard or to break the bank. We've rounded up a ton of affordable, DIY, and even some totally free Thanksgiving place cards to help you welcome guests and ring in the holiday season in style.

Simple leaf-shaped place markers that double as take-home souvenirs are perfect for fall, and so are cheekier, more kid-friendly pumpkin designs. You can even create interactive cards that invite guests to snack, draw, or play along. No matter which one you choose, these beautiful Thanksgiving place cards speak for themselves. We've even made sure to include a plethora of printable cards so you can set the table quickly—what better way to save your energy for making the big meal, feasting with friends and family, and of course sipping wine.
