November is fast-approaching, which means it’s time to get started with your Thanksgiving planning! I absolutely adore Thanksgiving, and not just because of all the delicious food—look at all of the elegant ways you can transform your Thanksgiving celebration into something that’s exceptionally chic!

The Perfect Invite

Sure, you could call your friends and family members to invite them to your Thanksgiving dinner, but wouldn’t one of these stylish Thanksgiving party invitations make everything seem just a little more elegant? I love some of these more modern designs in classic fall colors.

Expressing Your Gratitude with Grace

Once you’ve gathered your guests in style, why not pay homage to the beautiful sentiments underlying Thanksgiving with a few of these craft ideas?

Build a tabletop Gratitude Tree and encourage guests to tie a little message of thanks on each branch.

Use scrapbooking materials and a photo carousel to make a stylish list of everything for which you feel grateful. This would work fabulously with the A-Z Gratitude Alphabet featured in The Gratitude Challenge! (Thanks to Ali Edwards for the inspiration!)

Create your own Turkey Awards! Take nominations and have all of your guests vote, then hand out fun or silly awards to everyone in attendance.

We might have just finished celebrating the unofficial end to summer, but it’s not too soon to start thinking about your Halloween celebration! Tiny Prints just released a fresh new batch of adorable Halloween cards and party invitations to help you and your family have some fearsome fun this October.

When I got an email from Etsy featuring Halloween costume ideas for kids, my first instinct was to screech, “But it’s 100 degrees outside! It’s still summer!” Then I looked at the Tiny Prints Holiday page and realized that we recommend ordering your Halloween party invitations by September 16.

I guess fall really is right around the corner!

In any case, I thought I would remind you to plan ahead to make sure you don’t get caught off guard this year. Here are a few of my favorite finds for your upcoming Halloween party:
