Planning a Thanksgiving Celebration

Happy Friday all! Is it just us, or is Thanksgiving sneaking up quickly this year? No? Some of us are hosting a big spread and have been on the hunt for inspiration for good recipes, tablescape ideas, and fun to spoil our folks with. We thought we'd share our Turkey Day Game Plan with you! Whether you're still working on yours or you like collecting ideas as much as we do, we hope you enjoy! In addition to an inspiration board and menu (with recipes linked), we've also included a list of nifty free Thanksgiving printables that add that extra thoughtful touch.
