If you’re hosting Thanksgiving dinner, I have 10 Thanksgiving place card ideas for you to consider. Then everyone will know where they’re supposed to sit.
1. Rosemary Sprig Place Cards:
Using Spoon Fork Bacon’s template, you can make this rosemary sprig place card for your guests. You’ll need rosemary sprigs, a hole punch, and scissors.
Herbs are welcome at the table at any holiday. This would be a great place card for either Thanksgiving or Christmas.

2. Thankful For Place Holders:
You can ask each guest to write down what they’re thankful for that day.

3. Mini Air Plant Wreath Place Holder:

4. Sage Seal Place Card:
For the sage place card, two fresh leaves with a wax seal are attached.
Arrange them how you would like them to appear on the place card. Then use your seal to squish and flatten the stems.

5. Gold Dipped Leaf Place Card:
These DIY leaf place cards for fall bring a bit of nature inside and add an organic feel to your fall or Thanksgiving table.
Choose fresh leaves for the place cards that are still soft and not completely dried up.
Once you have gathered your leaves, remove the stems and place them on a flat surface.
Next, decide what design you want to draw on the leaf with the gold paint.

6. DIY Leaf Place Cards:
Instead of using typical place cards, use a magnolia leaf.
Another idea is to write words like “Thankful” or “Blessed” on the leaves instead of names.

7. Pumpkin Place Cards:
These cards were made with metallic sketch pens. Click here for the tutorial.
8. Mini Pumpkin Place Card:
To make these place cards, be sure to purchase pumpkins with an intact stem. Use a serrated knife to saw a slot in the stem for your card.
Then slide your card in and add your place setting.

Brenda, these are just too cute! I’ve seen some of them before, but a couple I haven’t. Thank you so much for sharing these…had to pin a couple of them! 🙂 Have a wonderful Thanksgiving sweet friend! Love and hugs!
They’re all great, but I love the simplicity of the leave and the brown bag! Happy Thanksgiving, Brenda!
Cute ideas! Happy Thanksgiving to you!

Designs & creativity are so nice! Where will you go for Thanksgiving this year? Very ☺ happy to be home with my sister, and our poochies Missy & Gidget. We do cook. Simple stuff, but very delicious. Only thing purchased ready made is pumpkin pie. Dinkle’s is ? yummy. Not overly spiced up.
Whatever you do, or where you’ll go, have a lovely (and full!!) holiday Brenda.
