Can I tell you how happy I am at this moment?

It’s COLD here.

Wonderfully, amazingly, crisp and cool and chilly.

Seriously.

And I live in Texas.

It takes a long time to use Texas and cold in the same sentence.

So to celebrate this sweater weather, I want to discuss Thanksgiving. It’s about a month away and I’m already sending dinner invitations to the turkey, gravy, and my mother’s cranberry bread.

I have 15 different ideas for your Thanksgiving table today from some of my favorite friends. From Thanksgiving DIYs to every different type of table decor for the dining table, I have the tips and decor for you.

Here are 15 creative ideas for the Thanksgiving table.

15 Creative Ideas For The Thanksgiving Table

1. Ideas for setting a Friendsgiving table

There’s nothing better than Thanksgiving with friends.

Mine show up with food and I set the table. Start with a hydrangea centerpiece and add woven pumpkins with book page leaves at each place setting.

You can even add names onto the leaves for each person.
