Creating a Beautiful Thanksgiving Table Setting (on the cheap)
I love a beautiful Thanksgiving table setting, but what I love most is that you can create a wonderfully festive table without breaking the bank.
One of my favorite things about Thanksgiving is that it falls right after Halloween which means: HALLOWEEN CLEARANCE SALES!
You should be able to find all kinds of pumpkins (both real and faux) at huge discounts. It’s also the perfect time of year to find clearance sales at garden centers so when you combine the two, you can come up with some pretty fun table decor options for your Thanksgiving table setting.
I love the idea of filling a pumpkin with succulents (again, you can use either real of faux of either). Fill in surrounding spaces with eucalyptus garland or leaves for added color and fragrance and you might even consider adding in small pumpkins and gourds.
I love vintage looking apple crates or apple bushel baskets and you can fill those with seasonal flowers that can be repurposed after your meal.
If you are looking for a more elegant table setting, that can also be done without breaking the bank. Check out this set of 8 Gold Chargers. Such a fun way to add a pop of color at a super affordable price.
It’s a great way to dress up simple white dinnerware. Add in some gold utensil accents and maybe some gold rimmed glassware for that extra elegant look.
There are so many options for gold napkins (both paper and cloth) and that’s a great way to easily add that fancy feel to your table setting.
The very best part is that all of these looks can be done together to make your table feel comfy and cozy and elegant at the same time.
Now that you’ve got your festive and beautiful Thanksgiving table setting planned, let’s move on to the meal planning! I’ve got some great ideas for you on keeping that simple, delicious and stress free as well!

Thanksgiving just isn’t about the food, it’s also about the company. The family and friends who gather to celebrate this feast. Sadly, the stress over creating the meal, decorating the table and organizing the event takes all of the fun out of those little moments when we should be enjoying each other. However, there are a few simple ways that you can simplify things and still pull off the most fantastic event.

Turkey or Ham for Thanksgiving? I say BOTH!
About the Ham
Honestly, it’s amazing. The Spiral Sliced Ham from Omaha Steaks is the best I’ve had, and I love how easy it is. They’ve done all of the work for you!
Serve the greatest holiday ham of all time, only available from Omaha Steaks, America’s Original Butcher. Our master butchers perfected this ham, which delivers incredible flavor, a gorgeous holiday-dinner-worthy presentation, and takes all the prep work off of your hands. It’s slowly smoked, glazed with brown sugar, and then torched to form the perfect combination of juiciness and crunchy crust. Then, it’s spiral-cut for easy serving (which also maximizes how much you can serve), wrapped in gold foil, and frozen for guaranteed perfect delivery.

The Whole Basted Turkey from Omaha Steaks is so good, and again, they make it so easy by providing everything you need to pop this in the oven and enjoy your friends and family instead of stressing all day in the kitchen.

There is usually no shortage of desserts around the holidays but if you want to cover that base as well, you’ll find some great dessert options in the Omaha Steaks Thanksgiving Meal package selection as well!
As you can see, your meal can be as simple or as complicated as you like! I know some people love to spend the day (and days before) in the kitchen preparing their meal. Others are totally overwhelmed by the thought. And some of us, are somewhere in the middle.
