So it's Thanksgiving, and you're preparing for your Thanksgiving feast, and you're not sure how you're going to set up your place card holders. Well, my name is Lori Randall, with Simply Divine Events, and I'm going to give you some ideas on how to create memorable place card holders, for Thanksgiving. One idea that you can do, is just having your champagne glass, or wine glass, or even your water goblet, or any glass that you have, and you're going to have that obviously, at the place setting, and you can tie like a nice little ribbon, a nice little tag, and they can find their names that way, which is kind of a cute idea. Another idea, is to get your napkins, nicely flat fold your napkins, and stick a little menu card in there, and kind of let everyone know what the Thanksgiving dinner menu is, and then write their name on it, and that would be their place card, right there, so that's another cute idea to do as well, for Thanksgiving. Another memorable idea would be just going and getting some pine cones, and sticking a nice little menu card, or actually your place card, and put that right in the pine cone, and that's pretty memorable, as well, because it's kind of cute, and sticks with the whole fall theme, and you can even go and get some leaves. You can even go get dry leaves out in your yard, or you can pick up some of these leaves in a craft store, and you can write their names right on there, or you can do it with like a black marker. Here, we did a gold marker, or you can simply go buy some little pumpkins, and tie a nice ribbon around it, and put their names on it, and they can all take their pumpkins home, and if you don't have the ribbon and the tie, you can always just simply, get a nice metallic marker or pen, and write their names on it that way, and they can find their seat, so those are some ideas on how to come up with a memorable place card holder.
