\"emily_centerpiece\"Make your Thanksgiving table extra “feel-good” this holiday by tucking a heart-warming surprise inside each guest’s place card!<\/p>\n

Make homemade place cards by folding an unlined 3 x 5″ index card in half (or cut your own from colored cardstock). Write each guest’s name on the front and decorate with stickers or drawings, front and back. Pile these into a basket with some pens, so that incoming guests can draw one card out and discover the name. Then inside the place card, they can write an anonymous compliment to the person, telling about one trait that they are personally grateful for.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"thanksgivingemail2\"\u00a0 \u00a0\"thanksgivingemail3\"<\/p>\n

When it’s time for your Thanksgiving feast and all the guests are seated, let everyone take turns reading aloud the message inside their place card. What could be better than starting out a celebration of Thanksgiving with being thankful for each other?
