Thanksgiving Entertaining Made Easy was sponsored post for Cost Plus World Market. All opinions are my own.
Thanksgiving is one of my favorite holidays. I get warm fuzzies all over when I think about all the beautiful Thanksgiving Dinners I’ve shared with my family.
The food, the decor, and spending time with loved ones are some of my most cherished memories.
My mom was always the hostess with the mostess when it came to creating a beautiful Thanksgiving table.
I’ve learned so much from her over the years and I try to follow in her footsteps when it comes to Thanksgiving entertaining. I think mom would be proud!
Gold, copper, and a slightly muted orange are my color choices when I’m setting the table for Thanksgiving. I always head to Cost Plus World Market to find just what I need to create a warm and inviting tablescape.

I get all nostalgic when it comes to holidays. This year, my very favorite part of Thanksgiving Entertaining is this stunning guest book! It’s a place for your guests to sign in and write down their thoughts of gratitude. This will be a keepsake for years to come! You can find this guest book here!
Mom always taught me that first impressions matter so I always make sure my porch is clean and inviting.
I like to keep it simple on the porch, so a few pumpkins, fall flowers, and a beautiful wreath adds just the right amount of fall color.
When I’m planning my Thanksgiving Entertaining timeline, I list everything I can do ahead of time. It makes things go smoothly on Thanksgiving Day.

These are all great Thanksgiving entertaining ideas. Really like the flatware and the birch candles.
Everything is so lovely! I really like those silverware holders. I need to try and win a gift card!
What some absolutely lovely ideas, I am loving the wreath, the colours of if are beautiful and it could be used all autumn long.
That guest book is a neat idea, especially if you have a large family or group that attends every year. Thanks for the ideas!
those bags for leftovers is wonderful. Love World Market and I can always find way to many great things I want.
All of these are awesome ideas for the Thanksgiving table. Loving those jute utensil pockets. Cost Plus World Market is one of my faves and I always end up finding something unique there.
I love that wreath! Our house was somehow deemed the holiday house this year. Don’t know how that happened! Decorations are done and I just planned out the tablescape.
The theme is very lovely! I like the guest book you put in there a lot! I wish I could have all the time looking for a great one!
Is it ok to say that they’re all my favorites? I was trying to pick out one or two items, but as I kept scrolling, I saw something I liked. The table runner is fab.
I don’t decorate for Thanksgiving. Our table gets so crowded you can’t see much other than the food. This reminds me that I do need a new turkey platter though.
I love those “give thanks y’all” napkins. Those need to be on my table this Thanksgivmg,
Those are some great picks for Thanksgiving. I love World Market. They always carry the coolest and unique items for the holidays.
I am so excited for fall! We always have a full house so I like to make sure I have enough dinnerware for everyone, no one wants to be forces to eat with a spork on on a paper plate.
I have a few favourite Thanksgiving entertaining ideas. One of my favourite items is the Thanksgiving guestbook. I think this is a lovely idea that you could actually use as a photo album in the future. Another favourite idea of mine is the utensil holder. I think this is a fabulous way to dress up a table and to keep your utensils in place around the table.
I love decorating for different holidays. That is such a wonderful giveaway. I would love to win that gift card. Thanksgiving is such a beautiful holiday with an important message of being grateful!
I just love the idea of a Thanksgiving Guest book – there are so many people visiting during the holidays. It would make a great memory keeper to remember in years to come!
I love all the things you have here but the first is my favorite. I think that’s such a great idea!
I love all of these different ideas. For a person like me who doesn’t entertain much because I don’t know what to do, this is a great resource.
I love EVERYTHING you found, it’s all soooo adorable! I totally wont be hosting or entertaining this Thanksgiving (it’s like 2 weeks before my due date haha) but hopefully next year!
