TIPS
FOR THE
BEST TABLE
Free up time to socialize and enjoy the holiday with family and friends by preparing the table long before guests arrive. Pick out tablecloths and napkins, shop for dinnerware and decor and meet with a Hy-Vee florist to plan the arrangements.

1
The Thanksgiving table should be a “ta-da” moment for guests as they arrive for dinner. Start with a neutral base for a chic and clean look, then add calming fall shades like blush, orange and green. Gold accents make it a real showpiece.

Fresh flowers brighten a room and everyone’s mood. A stunning Hy-Vee Floral bouquet gives life to the design theme of the table and provides an abundance of color. Place florals in statement vases, also found at Hy-Vee.

display decor
Keep decorations within sight but out of reach while dinner is served. Place candles, bouquets and other items beyond drinking glasses.
arrange glassware
Place glasses above and to the right of plates, with the water to the left, slightly above the wine glass.
Work Outside In
Place forks on the left side of the plate, and the knife and spoon on the right. Position silverware in order of use, from the outside in.
SET THE PLATES
Place the dinner plate down first, with the salad plate on top. Use greenery and a real pumpkin to decorate the place setting.
CONSIDER NAPKINS
Use napkins to provide an upscale, memorable experience with creative folding or display techniques.
ADDED TOUCHES
LAYERED LOOK
Tuck eucalyptus in between the dinner and salad plate, then wrap both in a napkin and set a personal pumpkin on top.
Floral Take-Home
Get extra flowers with your
Hy-Vee bouquet order to use as place setting decor that guests can take home.
Rosemary and Twine
Turn the plates to create a new angle. Fold a cloth napkin on top and add a simple name tag with rosemary and twine.
