The Ultimate Thanksgiving Party Decoration Ideas

A Thanksgiving party is a wonderful way to celebrate with all your friends and family! There’s good food, good company, and a good excuse to throw back some seasonal adult beverages. And no party is complete without some decor and party supplies to set the scene and make your home extra inviting to guests. This season, try some of these elegant and creative Thanksgiving party decoration ideas.

Rustic Tableware

The star of Thanksgiving is without a doubt food, so of course our Thanksgiving party decoration ideas will include dressing up your table. Beautiful fine china and cloth napkins are an elegant way to go when setting the table for a Thanksgiving feast. However, not everyone has fine china or your Thanksgiving party might have too many guests for your set. If that’s the case, you can turn to Thanksgiving-themed paper plates, napkins, and cups. When going with paper and plasticware, you’ll want to make sure you stick with premium tableware like items from the Ultimate Party Super Store. Patterns of fall leaves, pumpkins, turkeys, and cornucopias will make for beautiful tableware at your Thanksgiving party.

Seasonal Serving Platters

With all the food you’ll be cooking up for a Thanksgiving party, you’ll need something to serve it on. While you could go with disposable buffet trays, that ugly aluminum isn’t going to add any glam to your Thanksgiving decoration ideas. We love the look of these cornucopia platters and pumpkin serving trays. As your guests chomp away at your feast, the lovely design is slowly revealed. Affordable serving platters add that extra touch to your table that disposables can’t, and you can reuse them every year for your Thanksgiving dinner.

Get Gourdy

It’s autumn and gourds and pumpkins are a symbol of the season. Small pumpkins and gourds can be placed just about anywhere in your home and they look best when placed in groups of two or three. You can put them on end tables, coffee tables, shelves, and on the dinner table. Natural gourds and mini pumpkins are great for Thanksgiving home decor, but you can also buy fake ones that will last year after year. We think gourds look super chic in silver and gold colors, but natural is always a solid choice as well. The Ultimate Party Super Store stocks gourd and pumpkin decorations in all sorts of styles, colors, and materials.

Say It With Signs

Nothing says “We’re Thankful” and “Welcome Fall” better than signs for your Thanksgiving home decor. Wall signs can be a very affordable way to make a significant visual impact. They are also durable and easy Thanksgiving decor that’s sure to hold up beautifully in your attic or storage space for future use. In recent years, a popular fad for autumn wall decor is to incorporate farm-style signs. For example, signs that feature old farm trucks, directions to the pumpkin patch, and vintage vegetable sales signs are simple and eclectic ideas for your Thanksgiving decorations.

Use Bright Sunflowers

When it comes to modern Thanksgiving decoration ideas, it’s easy to overlook sunflowers as a part of the scene. We more often associate flowers with spring and summer, the seasons when new life is everywhere. But as summer fades and we enter early autumn, several species of sunflowers come into bloom. They can last as late as the first frost, and for some places in the country that means you can even have fresh sunflowers for your Thanksgiving home decor. But if you’re in some of the more northern states, fake sunflowers in your table centerpieces and sunflower patterns on your tableware add to the brightness and cheeriness of the season. These sunflower dessert plates and sunflower napkins are quaint options for after dinner. 

Complementary Colors

If you’re thinking about colors for your Thanksgiving party decoration ideas, you’re probably leaning toward classic rustic oranges, warm yellows, and subtle reds. Or you might want to go modern with silver, gold, and shades of white and gray. The best way to make your colors stand out and not get lost with the background is to pair them with their complementary colors. For any of the color options we just mentioned, deep blues and purples are an excellent match. Using pale and sage greens as background colors or as leaf accents also works really well. Take these Fall Gather napkins and plates, or these pumpkin napkins as a lovely example of redesigning Thanksgiving decor color schemes.

Cute Scarecrows

Scarecrows aren’t just for Halloween! While a scary and spooky scarecrow does look great as yard decor for Halloween, cute and happy scarecrows will lend to your Thanksgiving decoration ideas. Miniature scarecrows with plaid shirts, overalls, and sunflower accents can make a nice addition to your Thanksgiving home decor. We love these little scarecrows on sticks that you can use in harvest flower arrangements, table centerpieces, and entryways into your home.
