Whimsical & Colorful Thanksgiving Table

Adding some whimsical touches to any celebration is one of my favorite things to do!  Not only can it bring some extra fun to the festivity, it lightens the mood and can make your event comfortably casual without losing the “wow” factor!  Now that the holiday roller coaster has taken off…I’m always looking for ways to simplify my gatherings so that I can fully enjoy family and friends AND not get stressed about the next party on the calendar!  Last week I shared some colorful displays in my dining room and those bright colors & DIY projects were the inspiration for my table this year!  The best part?  Most of the tabletop is disposable!  After we’ve stuffed ourselves with the feast I can collect the paper products and fill up the trashcan rather than my sink…that alone is worth celebrating!  See some of the whimsical fun I had with paper plates, containers, tags…and the unexpected elements that helped make the table shine!

whimsical, colorful, joyful…

whimsical can mean fun…so two fluffy throws make an unexpected table cloth!  never be afraid to try something a little crazy…it might be just the right touch!

    What did you use underneath the plate as bigger paper plate or are those chargers?

      Those are gold chargers I found at Michaels stores. They usually have a great selection of chargers that are super affordable!
